Chlamydia infection is a silent disease that can do permanent damage to the reproductive tracts and potentially cause infertility, besides leading to infection of the urinary tract. It works its way without showing any symptoms in about 3/4th of infected women and half of men. Fortunately it can be cured with antibiotics in little over a week's time.
Yes, it spreads through not only unprotected intercourse but also foreplay if the infected genital fluids come into contact with your genitals during the foreplay.
Chlamydia's presence can be detected through laboratory tests for genital fluids or urine. If you have the slightest suspicion, that is a valid enough reason to get tested and treated.Reviewed by Sexual Health Editorial Team
