A member asked:
I am always safe, should i still get tested for chlamydia?

Exposure = get test: The only safe sex is where partners who never had outside exposures hook up and never stray. Chlamydia can stay dormant in a male or female genital tract for months without symptoms and pass with any contact.

Yes: It is still possible to pick it up especially if multiple partners.
