Chlamydia: Chlamydia is usually transmitted by intimate contact. A newborn may acquire it if the pregnant mother had a normal delivery and was not treated prior to the delivery. You can go to this website for more information. It's www.Cdc.Gov.

Yes!: Chlamydia trachomatis is venereal usually, but can be transmitted orally and cause pharyngitis. Also, chlamydia pneumonii causes a bronchitis and is different in transmission, usually by inhalation!

Only by sex: The only nonsexual transmission is from infected moms to their babies during labor and delivery. Infection in adults is always acquired sexually. If new infection appears in one member of a couple, it can be safely assumed one of them had another partner recently. However, there are rare exceptions: sometimes chlamydia can be carried for months (maybe even years) before it shows up.
