A member asked:

If a baby or child had chlamydia eye infection and i touched the baby then had an open cut somewhere, could it then turn into the actual std for me?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Location of cut ?: Chlamydia has specific affinity for the tissues it will infect. The soft tissue of the inner eyelids and the glandular skin within the genital tract are its preferred home. The outside surfaaces of the human body do not provide a nurturing growth environment for the germs, so they are not fount there.If you touched an internal (genital) cut with contaminated fingers, or your eyes, you could get it
