Small chance of chlamydia infection present

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
There is a small chance of getting chlamydia from the above incident. This risk is more if you had a cut in your finger or mouth.

Men less frequently have symptoms from chlamydia infection. Please get tested for chlamydia if you have any of the symptoms including penis discharge, pain during urination of swollen testis. These might indicate chlamydia infection. Urine test is commonest for making diagnosis.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek
