It happened by having oral, anal, or vaginal sex with someone who is infected. The most common way this happens is when two partners get treated, but have oral, anal, or vaginal sex before the medication had enough time (one week) to elminate all the germs from the body.

∙ 14y agoOnce infected with a virus, the virus will remain in the body. The bacterial STDs (and Trich, a protozoa) can basically be killed with an antibiotic. It is gone from the body. If the bacteria is again introduced into the body, it will then re-infect the body and antibiotics will need to be taken to cure the infection. It is like strep throat; you can be re-infected many times and you will continue to get antibiotics to kill the bacteria each time you are infected.

Your boyfriend used saliva lubrication before protected sex can you get reinfected with chlamydia?
If your boyfriend performed oral sex on you while you had chlamydia it could be transferred to his mouth orally. He would still have to have chlamydia sores present in his mouth in order to transfer chlamydia to you. It is rare chlamydia is in the mouth, because in order for it to be there, the mouth would have to have direct contact with the sore. That is why you can have chlamydia in your body, but you can still kiss your mate and he won't get chlamydia. Hope this helps!
Why do you keep getting reinfected with chlamydia when you know your partner is not cheating?
There is a possibility your symptoms have cleared up, but you are not entirely cured. The antibotics you have been prescribed may not be effective in your case. Has you partner been tested? Get your partner tested. You may be getting reinfected because your partner has chlmydia as well. Your partner may be asymptomatic - has chlmydia but is not showing any symptoms. Also, how do you know you're getting reinfected with chlamydia? If you get tested too soon after treatment, you may be getting a false positive result. If you believe you're reinfected based on symptoms, you may have a second undetected infection.

Chlamydia does not remain "dormant." A person can have chlamydia for years without having symptoms, but the infection is active during that time, and can be transmitted and can cause damage, even if the patient doesn't notice any pain, discharge, or unusual symptoms.
