A member asked:
Can chlamydia be passed on by kissing/making out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure: As long as the other person has chlamydia in or on a part of his body, then licking or sucking that infected part of his body is an easy way to acquire his chlamydia. Always think twice before venturing where the sun don't shine. Also, if a patient is worried she might have a chlamydial throat infection, she must say that to her doctor, because doctors usually test only for strep throat bacteria.
