A member asked:
Can you get chlamydia any other way besides sexual contact? or is there a chance a chlamydia test can come out false positive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Poss, not likely: Chlamydia is spread usually by sexual contact, but it is an organism and can be spread less commonly in other ways, like skin contact. If you get the highly accurate dna test, not too likely this is falsely positive, more likely you need to be treated. But if in doubt, i always say get another test!
