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.

If you have untreated chlamydia, complications can occur even before you know you're infected. One in five women with chlamydia gets pelvic inflammatory disease, sometimes without noticing any symptoms. Of those women, one in five will have trouble getting pregnant in the future. Most women, then, do not have infertility, even after having chlamydia for a long time.

If a partner was infected three years ago and hasn't been treated, you may get chlamydia if you have sexual contact with them. If they had chlamydia and completed treatment, you are not at risk. But if you have a new partner, it's important that you get STD screening with your health care provider.

No, or very unlikely. Chlamydia is transmitted by anal, vaginal, or oral sex. Even if the man does not ejaculate.

If the person is currently infected, you could get chlamydia from them. If they were successfully cured, you can't get it from them.

If you have sex with someone who was cured of chlamydia, you won't get it. But that person could have been reinfected after treatment.
