Is nonviable chlamydia contagious?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Probably not, but...: Nonviable means dead. A nonviable bacteria cannot cause infection. But how is it known that chlamydia is nonviable? There is no test for that. If you have had a chlamydia test, you need treatment for it; and until then, it can be transmitted to sex partners. Clarify with your doctor. Good luck!

No: Non-viable means dead and thus cannot transmit a disease. The question is are all of the organism proven to be non-viable? Also need to check for other STDs.
