If you have chlamydia but your partner tested negative will he get it?
Chlamydia is a curable infection. Unless your partner was tested in the brief amount of time before they could test positive for the bacteria, it is unlikely you would reinfect them.
If you had a negative chlamydia test three months before a positive test does this mean you contracted it within those three months?
There are a few possible explanations. The most likely is that you contracted chlamydia within those three months. Another possibility is that you got the first test so soon after infection that it could not yet be detected. A false negative or false positive test is another possible explanation.
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.
If you test negative for chlamydia are you good to go?
Both partners should be tested; you should not assume that you are negative for STDs based on your partner's test. Various situations can lead to one partner being negative and another positive. Don't take a chance.
Can you get chlamydia from a person who had it before?
No, you can not catch chlamydia from someone that is not infected. You can only get chlamydia by having intimate contact with someone who has chlamydia. If you and your partner don't have it, you can't catch it from each other.
You both have chlamydia but you are only each others first?
Chlamydia is spread by oral, anal, and vaginal sex; genital-genital contact; sharing sex toys; and birth to an infected woman. Even if you and your partner haven't had sex before, you could have been infected with chlamydia from one of these other activities.
Can you try to have a baby even if you have chlamydia?
No, it would not be safe to have the instrumentation in your cervix while you have chlamydia. For this reason, and to increase the rate of success, fertility treatment providers test for chlamydia before starting the IVF cycle. If you're infected, it will take just seven days to cure you and your partner, so the delay will be brief.
Can you get Chlamydia from touching a female who has Chlamydia and then not washing your hands before you eat?
No you can not.
Can you cure chlamydia during the incubation period?
Yes, when you are getting treated you can still transmit chlamydia. Patients being treated should avoid oral, anal, and vaginal intercourse (even with a condom) until seven days after single-dose treatment, or until seven-day treatment is complete.

Is chlamydia treatment effective if taken immediately after exposure?
Yes, and it's often given that way after a sexual assault. But how do you know that the STD, and the only STD, that your partner has is chlamydia? Get tested for STDs, reduce your risk by abstaining or using condoms or reducing the number of partners, and make sure that you and your partner don't reinfect each other by having sex before the medication has worked completely.
