Chlamydia is usually contracted with sexual activity. If both partners have been exclusive sexually, it is generally not going to lead to an active infection with Chlamydia.

Chronic carriage of chlamydia within the GI tract has been documented in animals and humans. Auto-inoculation is considered possible but an unusual event.
