Can chlamydia be transmitted to vagina from oral sex

Back to Health A to Z. It's passed on through unprotected sex sex without a condom and is particularly common in sexually active teenagers and young adults. If you live in England, are under 25 and are sexually active, it's recommended that you get tested for chlamydia every year or when you change sexual partner. Chlamydia can't be passed on through casual contact, such as kissing and hugging, or from sharing baths, towels, swimming pools, toilet seats or cutlery. Although chlamydia doesn't usually cause any symptoms and can normally be treated with a short course of antibiotics, it can be serious if it's not treated early on.

Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases STDs. Each year more than 3 million Americans get this disease. Any sexually active person can be infected with chlamydia. However, this infection is most common among adolescents and young adults ages who have new or multiple sex partners and who do not consistently and correctly use latex or polyurethane condoms every time they have oral, vaginal or anal sex.

Back to Sexual health. It's unclear whether chlamydia can be spread through touch to another person's genitals if there's infected semen or vaginal fluid on your fingers, or by rubbing female genitals together. You can't catch chlamydia from kissing or sharing things such as toilets or towels with someone who has the infection. Go to your GP, a sexual health clinic or a genitourinary medicine GUM clinic for a free, confidential test.
