Answers:
Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the bacterium, Chlamydia trachomatis, which can damage a woman’s reproductive organs. Even though symptoms of chlamydia are usually mild or absent, serious complications that cause irreversible damage, including infertility, can occur “silently” before a woman ever recognizes a problem.
Chlamydia also can cause discharge from the penis of an infected man. .Any sexually active person can be infected with chlamydia. The greater the number of sex partners, the greater the risk of infection. Because the cervix (opening to the uterus) of teenage girls and young women is not fully matured, they are at particularly high risk for infection if sexually active. Since chlamydia can be transmitted by oral or anal sex, men who have sex with men are also at risk for chlamydial infection.
The surest way to avoid transmission of sexually transmitted diseases is to abstain from sexual contact, or to be in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with a partner who has been tested and is known to be uninfected.
Latex male condoms, when used consistently and correctly, can reduce the risk of transmission of chlamydia.
Chlamydia screening is recommended annually for all sexually active women 25 years of age and younger. An annual screening test also is recommended for older women with risk factors for chlamydia (a new sex partner or multiple sex partners). All pregnant women should have a screening test for chlamydia.
Any genital symptoms such as discharge or burning during urination or unusual sore or rash should be a signal to stop having sex and to consult a health care provider immediately. If a person has been treated for chlamydia (or any other STD), he or she should notify all recent sex partners so they can see a health care provider and be treated. This will reduce the risk that the sex partners will develop serious complications from chlamydia and will also reduce the person's risk of becoming re-infected. The person and all of his or her sex partners must avoid sex until they have completed their treatment for chlamydia.

i have no idea .
The same thing happened with m y best friend and her husband, but she was cheating on him.
It may have just been luck of the draw. But I'd definitely be asking her some questions. If you are in a monogamous relationship, there shouldn't be any way she "innocently" contracted chlamydia.
I hope they gave u the medicine because u need to be treated for this to (first). Yes this does happen when she had her out break u may not have had sex for it to be transported. If so count ur blessings and say ty.
It's harder for her to give it to you. Most cases of STD come about from the male giving it to the female. And she's probably had it for a while, being normally it shows no symptoms at all, and if it does, they are mild and generally go unnoticed for long periods of time. Don't jump to conclusions.
