A member asked:
If a male cut himself and is bleeding and his friend cuts himself and is bleeding and they shake hands can the other person catch chlamydia if one of them already had it?

Unlikely: Germs often have specific requirements for where they can live and how they can pass. It does not pass into the blood and will not live for an extended period on hands or similar body surfaces.For a male to get it from another male would require intimate and likely sexual contact.
