A member asked:

Can a woman with chlamydia orally give it to someone that does not have it. ?

Dr. Hunter Handsfield answered

Specializes in Infectious Disease

Very unlikely: First, chlamydia uncommonly infects the oral cavity at all. Second, if it does, it is not easily transmitted, i.e. unlikely to infect a sex partner. It can happen, but is rarely.
