I'm a 20 year old female and I had sex using protection and just found out I had chlamydia. Can you get chlamydia using a condom?
Have you ever had any type of sex without using a condom?
Chlamydia can remain hidden for a long time.
You can catch chlamydia through unprotected vaginal, anal or oral sex. It can also be passed on if you share sex toys and don’t wash them or don't cover them with a condom each time they’re used.
- Where are you from?
- Who was the sex with?
You must have treatment with antibiotics! You should then not have sex for at least one week after you have finished your antibiotic treatment. You may need to avoid having sex for longer if your sexual partner has not been treated so that you do not become re-infected. You should also avoid having sex until your symptoms have gone.
But you still need treatment, and very soon! You don't seem to address the detail of my questions. I am trying to find out how this might have happened.
"I have never had unprotected sex" - not even oral sex? Mutual masturbation?
"Or shared sex toys" - Can you be sure no one else has used them?
"I always used a condom" - With all types of sex, including with sex toys?
Who did you have sex with?
If you are infected, then he might be also. Has he been tested?
Have you been treated?
Have you avoided sex since discovering your infection?
Has your mother ever had chlamydia?
