Can you only get chlamydia through sexual intercourse?


I just found out I have chlamydia. I've got a girlfriend, and I'm wondering whether one can get chlamydia in any other way than through sexual intercourse as I haven't cheated on her.

Chlamydia can stay hidden in women's system for a long time so there is a chance she could have had it without knowing and passed it on that way. The infection can only be passed through sexual intercourse or sexual activity.
but mayb shes cheated on you sorry
You can get it on e.bay. Sorry I couldn't resist. It's not funny, I think sexual intercourse is the only way to get it but if you have been totally faithful then the evidence either points to her playing around or to the fact that the infection can stay hidden for a long time. I would go to the Doctor to find out and get yourself better.

All the best.
The literature states that chlamydia is acquired via sexual contact of any variety.

Given this fact you acquired it from somebody with whom you have had sex -- of any variety.
yes definitely through sexual intercourse. i'm a nurse and its amazing how many ppl come through the door and dont realise they have it, its one of the few STI"s that show no symptoms, and can cause infertility
Yes, but, could she have cheated on you?
Sexually transmitted urethritis, cervicitis, proctitis, and pharyngitis not due to gonorrhea are caused predominantly by chlamydia and infrequently by mycoplasma or ureaplasma. Chlamydia may also cause salpingitis, epididymitis, perihepatitis, neonatal conjunctivitis, and infant pneumonia. Untreated chlamydial salpingitis can become chronic, causing minimal symptoms but leading to serious consequences. Diagnosis is by culture, immunoassay for antigens, or genetic methods. Treatment is with single-dose azithromycin or a week of ofloxacin, levofloxacin, erythromycin, or a tetracycline.
