Different ways of getting chlamydia?

Ok I already know that you could get it from vaginal/oral intercourse .. Would there be any other way of getting the disease such as sharing saliva or being near an infected person without having intercourse?

Chlamydia can be transmitted during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Chlamydia can also be passed from an infected mother to her baby during vaginal childbirth.

Any sexually active person can be infected with chlamydia. The greater the number of sex partners, the greater the risk of infection. Because the cervix (opening to the uterus) of teenage girls and young women is not fully matured and is probably more susceptible to infection, they are at particularly high risk for infection if sexually active. Since chlamydia can be transmitted by oral or anal sex, men who have sex with men are also at risk for chlamydial infection. The following website will provide you with more info.

You could also get chlamydia from anal intercourse..and im not really sure about sharing saliva..you should check with a doc about that..but sitting near a person who is infected will not make you infected
