Transmission

Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease. It can be transmitted during vaginal, anal, and oral sex. Genital infection can also be passed from an infected mother to the baby during vaginal childbirth.

Prevention

The use of condoms and other protective measures may reduce the chance of infection but does not eliminate it completely. Using latex condoms consistently and correctly - from the very beginning of sexual contact until there is no longer skin contact - reduces the risk of transmission of chlamydia.
