What is chlamydia?
Chlamydia is an STI caused by a bacterium called Chlamydia trachomatis. During unprotected sex, this bacterium can be transmitted from one person to another, settling in the mucous membranes and causing inflammation. A mucous membrane is the thin, moist lining of body parts such as the mouth, genitals and eyes. Anyone sexually active can get and pass on chlamydia, whether it's two men, two women, or a woman and a man.
How do you get chlamydia?
Many people think chlamydia is only passed on during penetrative sex, but that's not quite true. In fact, you have mucous membranes in your mouth, vagina, anus and penis. Because of this, chlamydia is also passed on in other ways, such as oral sex, lying naked on top of each other with the penis touching the vagina or anus, or by using fingers for sexual acts.
