Should I Get Tested After Having Oral Sex With A Girl Having Chlamydia?
Hello, i had oral sex with a girl, by licking her vagina, apparently she has chlamydia, it has been several months now and I have no symptoms and i feel perfectly fine, should i still get tested, i have recently engaged in oral sex with my new partner, is she at risk?

Hi there.
I would at the outset advocate safe sex & that applies to the oral route as well.
You may feel fine but may be transmitting the infection to your new partner/s.
Having said that, testing for chlamydia in males is a bit tricky as secretions are not easily tested. Please do go across to a good laboratory in your area & request for a serum analysis linked to immunoglobulins testing for best results.
Alternatively, meet with an STD specialist in your area & consider a 3 week course of tetracycline antibiotic to rule out any infection albeit emperical.
Good Luck & Godspeed.
