How do you get Chlamydia?

• You can be infected with Chlamydia, or pass it on to someone else, during unprotected sex (not using a condom).
• The most common ways for people to get Chlamydia is through vaginal or anal sex with an infected person without using a condom.
• Chlamydia can also be spread through oral sex or through sharing sex toys without washing them.
• If infected semen or vaginal fluids come into contact with the eyes, this can cause conjunctivitis (an infection of the eye).
• Chlamydia can also be passed from a mother to her baby during pregnancy and childbirth. This may cause the newborn baby to have conjunctivitis and/or pneumonia.
• Chlamydia CANNOT be passed on through everyday contact or by kissing, by sharing towels, cutlery, cups and plates, or toilet seats
