can chlamydia be transferred by means other than sexually?

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.\n\nAny 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, 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.

Chlamydia is a STD you get it from someone who has it when you have sex with them. It doesn't come from a bladder infection. If you have it you can give it to your partner and they can give it back to you.  This is why you should not have sex until you both are cleared by a doctor.

It can be transmitted by any body fluid in a number of different ways. Sex, sharing needles, etc. Some people respond to drug treatment better than others. Sooner they catch and treat it, the better you chances to live longer. Not cure for it yet.

First of all, the chlamydia has damaged your vaginal mucous membrane and it must heal.  Secondly, it takes that long for you to be non-infectious.  You should always use a condom anyway and MAKE SURE YOUR PARTNERS WERE ALSO TREATED AND THAT THEY ACTUALLY TOOK ALL THEIR MEDICATION! That's so they don't reinfect you later.

Yes. But only for blood born viruses such as HIV/Aids, and Hepatitus. Not for others such as Chlamydia, etc

Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the bacterium Chlamydia Trachomatis.  Though it can affect men and women, in women it can severely damage reproductive organs and even cause infertility.\n\nBecause it is an STD, Chlamydia is transmitted during vaginal and/or anal intercourse and/or oral.  It can also be passed from an infected mother to her baby during vaginal childbirth.  \n\nAny sexually active person can be infected with chlamydia. The greater the number of sex partners, the greater the risk of infection.  Any symptoms like discharge or burning during urination or unusual sores or rashes need to be discussed with a doctor immediately.

You don't have to tell people if you don't want to. It's none of their business. Chlamydia can be cured with a mega-dose of antibiotics. Go to the doctor (or planned parenthood), get the meds ASAP, and get re-tested. I would stay away from sex until it's gone, but then you're done.\n\nChalk it up to a life lesson that no matter how nice you are or how few people you sleep with, you're still at risk. It only takes one person with an STD to infect you. Chlamydia is actually pretty common, so chances are you know someone (besides whoever you got it from) who's had it too. And you're very very lucky you got something that can be taken care of, so take care of it and be careful.

Yes-  it can be passed from one person to another through food, water, or contaminated objects.

No, not until it is completely cleared up. The infection can (and in most cases, will) spread to your husband. \n\nTalk to your doctor about treatment, follow-through with the treatment, and abstain from sex until you (and your doctor) are sure it is gone.

yes it can be transmitted by saliva

Yes - the release of ANY bodily fluid is enough to transmit the AIDS virus. Please take this very seriously if you don't want to get the disease. Look into methods of protection for oral sex - dental dams, using a condom -

Yes you can. But it's not good if you want to get rid of it...pretty much makes it worse and you can pass it to your partner.
