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.
