A member asked:
Realistically how contagious is chlamydia within 12 hours of contracting it ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If you had contact with someone who has chlamydia and 12 hours later you have sex with someone else then the chance of transmission is low because it takes some time for the chlamydia organism to multiply to an transmissible level. If you have symptoms then you are highly contagious.
