You can have chlamydia for years without knowing, but it can be spread during this time. Each time you have sex, there is about a 40% chance of transmitting chlamydia. The chances of having sex ten times without transmitting the infection are very small -- about 6 in 1000.

It's important to remember, though, that the person who gets chlamydia may have no symptoms either. In women, 80-90% have no symptoms, and half of men don't have symptoms. Your health care provider can't tell you how long you've had chlamydia. It's not unusual for someone to enter a relationship with chlamydia, and for neither partner to know they're infected until they are screened.

For that reason, you should get tested for STDs whenever you have a new partner.
Yes, you can get chlamydia, or first get chlamydia symptoms, four months after your partner did.

In many persons, this disease is silent, there are no signs or symptoms. In women, 80-90% have chlamydia without having symptoms, and 50% of men have it without knowing.

Anyone with this STD can give it to a sex partner even the first time they have sex. The chances of getting chlamydia are 40-60% each time you have sex with an infected partner.

You can have chlamydia for decades without having symptoms. If you don't have sex, you won't transmit it. The chances of getting chlamydia from having sex once with someone who is infected are about 40-60%.

Chlamydia can transmit in a week or so after infection. The chances of getting chlamydia if you have vaginal sex with someone who has it are about 60% each time you have sex. The chances of having sex with someone ten times without getting it are about one in ten thousand.
It is not possible to Catch it in 6 months time, It is possible that the symptoms only become apperent after 6 months. this is rare though

A woman can have chlamydia for years without having symptoms. It varies. Most women never have symptoms (80-90%) and only find out they're infected through a routine screening test.
