It's possible to get chlamydia through genital-genital contact without intercourse. The problem with your question is the word "virgin." That word doesn't describe risk factors for STDs. That is, "virgin" doesn't say anything about whether you've exchanged potentially infectious fluids or had skin to skin contact with another person.
It's possible to get STDs including chlamydia, HPV, HSV, gonorrhea, syphilis, and trichomonas by having genital-genital contact. Whatever your partners history, both partners should get tested prior to exchanging fluids.
You can't get chlamydia if your partner and you were virgins.

∙ 10y agoHPV and genital warts are spread by skin-to-skin contact with an infected person. If either of you has had genital-genital contact, even without sex, with someone who had HPV, you could be infected.
"Virginity" is not a medical concept. Your risks for STDs don't depend on if you had vaginal intercourse, but on what kinds of sexual behaviors you've had in the past.

∙ 10y agoChlamydia can be spread by oral, anal, and vaginal sex; by genital-genital contact; and by birth to a woman who had chlamydia. If you and your partner have none of these risks, you will not get chlamydia if you are only with each other. Speak to each other and your health care provider honestly about your sexual histories and find out what testing is indicated.

Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease. A mother can transmit it to her baby. It can be transmitted from one partner to another by oral, vaginal and rectal sex. Someone must not have realized he had it since the symptoms are less defined than in females, at least in the beginning.
Can a female partner have chlamydia first?
Yes, a female or a male partner may be first to have chlamydia. Although women have more reported cases of chlamydia, this fact is likely due to increased screening in women. Other studies screening men and women equally show that both genders are equally likely to have chlamydia.

Can only one partner have chlamydia?
Few infectious diseases are transmitted after 100% of exposures. In the case of chlamydia, estimates are that there's a 40-50% chance of getting it from any episode of vaginal sex with an infected partner. This can do with various factors. For instance, the presence of another infectious disease (like herpes) can be a "window of opportunity" for a second infectious disease to enter. Our bodies, and the "shedding" schedule of a present virus or disease have a lot to do with it too. Basically, just luck.Also, it could be a false-positive or false-negative result.It's possible that an intervening antibiotic prescription for some other purpose, such as amoxicillin for sinusitis or doxycycline for Lyme disease, could have cleared the infection in one person before they even knew they had it.In addition, a certain percentage of people clear chlamydia without treatment. The infection may still have done damage before the immune system cleared it.A few people may have a temporary mild immunity to chlamydia after recent infection, so it's possible that one person just had a little more immune protection against the infection than the other.The important points to remember:Due to the risk of undetected chlamydia, partners of patients who test positive for chlamydia may be treated.While couples facing an STD should have a frank discussion about monogamy, you cannot assume that one partner has been unfaithful just because one has a positive chlamydia test and the other doesn't.
