As long as you don't transfer fluids from your finger to your eyes or genitals, you won't get chlamydia from fingering someone. However, you only need to abstain for seven days. For the sake of your health and that of your partner, find something else to do for this brief period of time.

Yes as an epidemiologist it is my job to watch STIs. I know that many of the STIs out there if they don't get cured can cause serious damage to a unborn infant but you can get treated to have the child resist the effects of the STI so they can be born normally or to avoid it they can do a Ceserian Section if necessary
Most people with chlamydia are fertile after treatment. However, if you were infertile before, treatment is not likely to change that. The exception is that a few men infected with chlamydia in the testicles have a decrease in sperm count and quality that gradually improves after treatment.

Chlamydia is a bacterium and is treated with antibiotics that may be available on-line or by mail order in some places ... but ... self diagnosis and treatment is unwise. Chlamydia can cause sterility, arthritis, proctitis, prostatitis, and so on. A doctor can perform tests to see if you have Chlamydia, prescribe antibiotics appropriate for your infection that are compatible with other medications you may be taking, and do follow up testing to check that you didn't get reinfected. If you buy medication online, you haven't had an exam to check for pelvic inflammatory disease, epididymitis, and other complications. In addition, all patients with chlamydia should be tested for other STDs; it's foolish to rely on a a partner's results to determine if you need testing.

These include more than 15 white blood cells per high powered field on a vaginal wet smear, or a cervix that bleeds with minimal contact. But a definite diagnosis can't be made without laboratory testing.
