Yes. Both men and women can carry, spread and "catch" chlamydia. Chlamydia is caused by a bacterium known as Chlamydia trachomatis and is often known as a "silent" infection because 75% of infected women and 50% of infected men have no symptoms. This may also help explain why chlamydia is so common. In 2011, the CDC, or Centers for Disease Control, logged more than 1.4 million new infections and estimate that more than 2 million people in the U.S. may actually be infected at any time.
