The best way to know if you've been infected with chlamydia in the throat is get tested for the STD, specifically with an oral swab test. Symptoms might include a sore throat, fever and in less frequent cases, swollen lymph nodes. But it's also possible to not have any of those symptoms and still have chlamydia. There are safe at-home testing kits available online at sites like myLAB Box, or at local health clinics, Planned Parenthood and other testing sites.
