Does Chlamydia Pass Through Saliva?
hello, I am a woman infected with chlamydia. I took the antibiotic one time dose on monday. On friday I performed oral sex on a man without protection. The infection is not in my mouth, but i m worried now that i may have given him chlamydia through saliva? I don t think there were any cuts in my mouth or on his penis. would it be possible for me to have given it to him?

Hi Dear ,
Understanding your concern.
As per your query usually infection like chlamydia can not be passed through saliva . But they are highly contagious and can pass through semen or vaginal . Chlamydia is a common STD( sexually transmitted disease) that can infect both men and women. Antibiotics like azithromycin and doxycycline are effective in treating chlamydia . Follow the instruction given by your doctor properly .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well soon.
