Hello and welcome to HCM,
Chlamydial infection is a sexually transmitted disease.
The variety of Chlamydial infection which transmits by flies is different from the sexually transmitted variety.
However, it is not possible to comment on fidelity.
Since, you are positive for Chlamydial infection, it is important to get the infection treated by appropriate antimicrobials.
Since the infection can be transmitted, barrier method of contraception should be used.
Your partner should also get tested for the infection and start treatment in case he is also positive.
Thanks and take care
