Chlamydia can infect the urethra, vagina, cervix, eyes, rectum, and throat. From there, it can spread to the uterus, fallopian tubes, pelvis, and epididymis.

Chlamydia can be transmitted during vaginal, anal, or oral sex; from genital-genital contact; and from sharing sex toys. Chlamydia can also be passed from an infected mother to her baby during vaginal childbirth.

US statistics, including breakdown by state, can be found at the website in "related links." It's found countrywide and worldwide.
Typically, chlamydia affects the vagina, cervix, urethra, throat, and rectum. It occasionally infects the eyes. In newborns, infection of the eyes or lungs are the most common manifestations of chlamydia.
