How do you get chlamydia and can it go away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chlamydia: Chlamydia can be transmitted through oral, anal or vaginal sex. It is important to be tested if you have chlamydia (so you can be treated if you have it). A swab is used to take a sample from a man's urethra or a woman's cervix. The specimen is analyzed at a lab. There are also tests that use a urine sample. Chlamydia can be treated with a single dose of azithromycin, or 7 day (sometimes 10 day).
