A member asked:

Is clamydia of the throat common? i didn't think it could live in the oral cavity. ? can it ? and how can you tell you have it

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Chlamydia: chlamydia is a sexually transmitted bacterial infection. If you performed oral sex on some one with chlamydia you can contract it. Your doctor will need to take a throat swab for culture or treat it presumptive if your partner is confirmed with chlamydia. In the mean time refrain from intercourse to avoid potential spread.
