What is Chlamydia?
2. Transmission
As mentioned, chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease. This basically means that the disease is transmitted through sexual contact with another person that is already infected. It is also a very infectious disease, which means the chances of transmission are high if sexual contact takes place.
The disease can be transmitted through direct contract with semen and female lubricant. It can also be caught through simple contact with another person’s genitals even if penetrative sex does not take place. It can also be passed on to a baby by a pregnant mother, and it can also be transmitted through sharing sex toys and similar.
