Can Chlamydia Infection Be Transmitted Through Kissing?
Hi, my name is Kate and recently I have had mouth to mouth and some sexual intercourse and I am wondering if I can get chlamydia just by kissing someone or other things? A friend of his said he had chlamydia and I m like sure whatever but when it came down to it i was to afraid to ask him. Research says fevers and pain during urination with other symptoms but this is all that has occurred so far. Second question is that if I make an appointment to go to the doctors and they run tests but the testing wont be done for a couple days and they call home will they talk to my parents? I am 18 and I don t want them to find out? Is there antibiotics for this disease?
Chlamydia is usually spread during sexual contact with someone who has the infection. I suggest getting tested to confirm the diagnosis. If the diagnosis is confirmed, the treatment consists of antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
