Chlamydia is mainly passed through sexual activity:
* vaginal or anal sex with an infected partner
* oral sex, although this is less common
* sharing sex toys
* touching parts of the body with fingers (for example, chlamydia often occurs in the eyes)
You can NOT catch chlamydia from simple kissing, sharing baths, towels, cups, or from toilet seats.
Chlamydia Symptoms in Women:
* an unusual vaginal discharge
* pain or a burning sensation when passing urine
* bleeding between periods
* pain during sex or bleeding after sex
* low abdominal pain sometimes with nausea
Chlamydia Symptoms in Men:
* white/cloudy, watery discharge from the tip of the penis
* pain or a burning sensation when passing urine
* testicular pain and/or swelling
Chlamydia is simple to treat with antibiotics, either a single dose or a course lasting up to two weeks:
To avoid re-infection, any sexual partners should be treated too. Treating gonorrhea is advocated for patients being treated for chlamydia, and vice versa (50% have both infections together)
Once chlamydia has been successfully treated, it won't come back unless a new infection is picked up.

If Chlamydia is Not Treated:
Without treatment, chlamydia infection can spread to other parts of the body causing damage and serious long-term health problems.
In women, chlamydia can cause pelvic inflammatory disease, which can lead to:
* ectopic pregnancy (a pregnancy outside the womb)
* blocked fallopian tubes (the tubes which carry the egg from the ovaries to the womb), which can result in reduced fertility or infertility
* long-term pelvic pain
* early miscarriage or premature birth
In men, chlamydia can lead to:
* painful inflammation of the testicles, which may result in reduced fertility or sterility
* occasionally, Reiter's syndrome (inflammation of the joints, urethra and eyes)
You will have it until you are treated for it. It can lie dormant ie) no effects so people might not know they have it, but it doesnt mean its not there. Whoever has it will need to go to their doctor or local Genito-urinary clinic and get medication. If left untreated it can make you sterile... so don't delay!
until you take the antibiotics to get rid of it.
she got chlamydia thru having unprotected sex with someone who already had it...she will have it until she is treated with antibiotics, and if she isn't treated, she can be come sterile (unable to have babies) and she will give it to anyone else she has sex with.
Tell her to see a doctor, or go to planned parenthood and get it treated. Tell her also to use protection from now on when she has sex.
it lasts until you get treated for it......
If you don't get it treated right away I have heard up to 1 1/2 years. The only way to be sure is to get treated and retested.
