Not very likely: While chlamydia can rarely cause pharyngitis, it is not considered to be a significant risk

STD: Yes, of course. Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease and oral "sex" is a sexual activity. Chlamydia is highly contagious and you should be tested immediately and started on prophylactic antibiotic treatment.
