A member asked:

Is it possible to get the chlamydia bacteria not from a sex partner but something else?

Nope: Genital chlamydial infection is only acquired by sex with an infected partner. The apparent exceptions are explained by things like distant past infection that has recurred; a partner with a false negative test; and so on.
