Can i get chlamidia from anything but sex?

NO u are not an as****e....my husband and I are also faithful and never messed around...my sister is a nurse and she explained chlamydia to me...I recently contracted this bacteria from my husband....my husband is a mover so he moves alot of different ppl and NOT EVERYONE is clean so he contracted this by touching other ppls dirty things and of course not washing his hands, touching his face.He has it on his face and since its a fungus ,it grows everywhere in ur system.....u can contracted by using ppls towels, toilets....very important to ALWAYS wash your hands at all time

"Doctors are Not god and they to make mistakes!"



Thats why its referred to as a PRACTICE.

I just found that I tested positive for chlamydia the other day. A few months ago me and my boyfriend were both having urinary problems, so we went to the hospital together. He was treated for chlamydia. I was told I only had a UTI. Neither of us slept with anyone else so we KNOW it was from bacteria. If women have a yeast infection or a UTI, that can be given to the man and cause chlamydia. It's all about bacteria...not necesarilly sleeping around. I finally went bacck to the doctor the other day after having symptoms of lower belly pain, pain during sex, frequent urination, and abnormal bleeding. I now tested positive. My only advice is to get it checked out as soon as you can, get it taken care of. I am now being tested for PID and may have fertility problems for waiting too long and looking over the pain.

I REALLY NEED HELP PLEASE REPLY I really need hard evidence ive been marrie fo 11year my wife cheated and admitted it 5 years ago. she just started having symptoms 3 days ago. she thinks ive been unfaithful befor so this is a reason for her to blame me. i did not cheat i love her and my kids to much to be that stupid. some one please list MEDICAL BOOKS OR TRUSTWORTHY INFO. my merriage depends on proving. no one believes me and this is the hardest thing ive ever been through

I am a cancer patient with chlamydia, I have had unprotected sex once and I usually never do this, im 21 Male sexually active since 18,

I have just been told I have chlamydia, i am married my husband is getting tested Monday. I know we are faithful to one another, we work with each other and send all our spare time together. I was just wondering how else can I catch this or him? We are doing what healthiest for us. We are very very sexually active just with each other, in a years time we may have went 40 days without sex. I have had contious bladder, kidney, and other vaginal infections is this do a cause of to much sex... even with one partner.

You can get chlamydia from sitting on a toilet seat after someone who has it. Chlamydia is an std but it's bacterial you don't have to have sex to get it.

Doctors are NOT god, some of them just think they are.  From what I've read online, scabies is supposedly an STD too.  Well, I'm a female and a VIRGIN in all aspects (vaginal, oral, anal, NOSTRILS!, etc) and I got scabies from my female dogs (NOT having sex with them either!).  They caught scabies from a dog I was taking care of temporarily.  Scabies causes sarcoptic mange in dogs, and my dogs like to snuggle up to me (their back against my back) and I got a bad infestation of scabies.  I used borax & vinegar baths, and food grade diatomaceous earth (DE) on their dry coats to kill scabies, also powdered myself with DE after my shower, powdered my mattress with DE, washed clothes/bedding in super hot water, etc...took a few months, but I got rid of it.  Also they're now calling MRSA an STD; I was diagnosed w/ MRSA in my sinuses (NO nostril sex here!); you can catch MRSA from a doorknob, etc.  You can catch MRSA from a toilet seat, you can get pubic lice from a toilet seat, etc.  Herpes Simplex causes cold sores in the mouth, can cause eye problems, etc. but you can take an amino acid, L-Lysine 1000+ mgs/day, when your lips just start getting sore, and it will build up your immune system and the fever blisters will never show up.  L-Lysine is over the counter, it's like a vitamin, so you really can't overdose on it.  It used to be in our food in large quantities, but our food is depleted of a lot of vitamins now so we have to take vitamins, or juice, etc. to get everything our bodies need.

i juss got diagnosed wit chlamydia and im confused becuz i havent been sexually active fuh about 6-7 months....so culdvit have been in my body b4 hand.?

i am so sorry about this, I know its a year later and you hopefully had a very healthy baby girl, but I am afraid with all I am reading on here that you must catch it from sex, and if you know you never had sex with anyone except the father of the baby, plus you were tested and didnt have it 2 months before then it has to have come from him.theres only 1 other answer and that is your first test was wrong and you had it all along,the test is not 100% accurate anyway hope all went well and you worked it out

Just wanted to clarify that the earlier user was incorrect, this sexually transmitted infection CANNOT be caught from a toilet seat.  Pubic lice (crabs) and herpes are the only ones that are possibly transmitted that way, and it is very unlikely.  Check the facts.

I found out I was pregnant and at my first doctors appointment found out I had it now you see I had no signs of it either did my boyfriend.. he later got tested and didn't have it .. neither of us had cheated or had been with anyone else.. and yes I do believe you can get this sti not std from other ways other then any type of sex. Being in a dirty house with somebody who has it for 1, for 2 sharing anything like a towle shower loofas or what not with somebody who has it, for 3 not being as clean as you think ( wearing dirty underwear/clothes)..

well after being convinced by a lady online who is a sexual health worker to go be tested for chlamydia, I did, and as was the past 3 times over 10yrs I was as expected clear. My symptoms are bladder related and someone mention lots of sex causing all sorts of UTIs and vaginal infections, yes lots of sex especially if touching all areas back and forth and if 1 or both hadnt been clean before hand can cause infections to rise up. Best advice is both be clean before and after sex and always urinate when your finished to clear that passage of any possible germ.

Now as for how to catch chlamydia, I have been told by a nurse at pathology, a doctor, and a sexual health clinic worker that it is possible but very rare to catch it another way not just sex, literally an infected person would have to have fluids on a toilet seat then the next user sit directly on it, or if you touched a person and got fluids on your hand then touched yourself and they were infected theres a slight possibility. I know from 1st hand experience that at concerts or clubs or even cafes etc womens bathrooms are full and a line up and when you go in after whoever the seat is warm and sometimes to my distaste wet, my hope is the wet is water from the toilet itself lol anyway it is extremely rare but can happen. Also the only way you would know 100% somone is faithful is if you are together 24/7, but its necessary to trust.Oh and 1 last thing, it is possible 1 or the other had it before you met and no symptoms arose till later as it is a silent disease rarely has any symptoms, even the tests if not done correct can be wrong,you need to test the very first urine when you wake up, dont clean yourself, dont take midstream, get up out of bed and pee directly in jar.

I found this page after my girlfriend was diagnosed with chlamydia. She had been having lower right abdominal pain for the last week and a half. At first she was diagnosed with an ovarian cyst by the doctors in the emergency room, based on her CT scan. A gynecologist did a sonogram and said there were no ovarian cysts, but that it might be a kidney stone. apparently she did an sti test as well, because yesterday she got the phone call.

i could tell something was bothering her, but she didn't want to talk about it. i was worried so i kept pressuring her to tell me and eventually she did. obviously, i went to the doctor today to get tested, but I won't find out the results until saturday. In the meantime, I'm trying to find some reliable information, which is what led me here.

I know I haven't cheated, and of course, she's claiming the same. Basically, I'm looking for any reason to believe she isn't cheating on me. I know that doctors aren't infallible, but it seems the jury is still out on the topic of sexual vs non-sexual transmission. Therefore, for the purposes of my investigation I'm ignoring that possibility entirely and looking at other plausible scenarios involving sexual transmission.

I have not been tested for sti in many years, and had been unprotected on one occasion (not to mention oral sex) before I became monogamous four years ago. Is it possible that I could have had it for the last 5-6 years and passed it to my girlfriend?

Now if my test results come back negative, does that mean she definitely didn't get it from me? Or is it possible that I may have had it, but that it could have been eradicated by a previous dose of antibiotics I took for bronchitis or something? In which case maybe I transmitted it to her, then took antibiotics, which could explain why she has it and I don't?

My doctor prescribed me a "just in case" dose of antibiotics today since it will take a week to get the results. That dose is 1,000mg of azathromycin. I've taken azathromycin before, but those were 250mg tablets. Would that be enough to eradicate the infection? If not, would negative test results prove that I couldn't have infected her?

Of course, my test may come back positive. And if that's the case, I guess we can't really prove who infected whom. I read somewhere else that while 50% of men and 75% of women never show symptoms, when symptoms do occur they usually happen within 1-3 weeks of the moment of infection. My question is how flexible is the "usually." Does that mean give or take a few days? Or is it possible she could have had this for four years and is first showing symptoms now?

If anyone with real knowledge on the above can answer some of these questions, I would be greatly appreciative. I'd like to believe that its possible she did not contract this by cheating, but I'm pretty sure she doesn't wipe her a$$ backwards, lol.

On the same token, short of testing negative, I have no way of proving to her that I didn't cheat. So if she really has been faithful, and it was contracted some other way or lying dormant for 4 years, then she's probably thinking I'm a cheating scumbag. Man this really sucks!

Actually, its an STI, not and STD. NOT the same thing. Check your University of Phoenix PhD ;)
