Can you get chlamydia from a UTI?
Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease. Urinary tract infections (UTI) are not. It is possible to have both a UTI and Chlamydia, but one does not cause the other. There is no other way to get Chlamydia except through sexual contact; UTIs, on the other hand, can even be seen in young kids. Chlamydia is caused by bacteria called Chlamydia trachomatis, that is spread by oral, anal, or vaginal sex; genital-genital contact; sharing sex toys; or birth to a woman with chlamydia. Chlamydia can infect the urethra, which is part of the urinary tract. It can cause urinary pain or blood in your urine. However, we don't usually call chlamydia a UTI. In the US, at least, UTI is meant to signify infections of the urinary tract that are not typically spread by sex.
