I used protection but i got chlamydia. how is this possible?

Exposure: Condoms, spermacides, libricants, genital washes all have been promoted for cutting down std's. Yet none provide complete protection. Any exposure to an experienced partner may get you any std.

Possible: This is possible if your protection was not foolproof (such as a condom break) or unprotected sex before or after condom use.
