Will Clamydia Spread Through Saliva?

I have recently found out that i have had clamydia for almost 3 years. could i have given it to my son via him thinking its funny to stick his tongue in my mouth when he kisses me, briefly of course, or by playing a game called wind n rain where i spray spit on him and he must try to blow it back at me?
