How could you get Chlamydia?

You can get Chlamydia by having sex with someone who already has it. This might have been recently or many months, even years earlier.
The infection can spread if you have vaginal, anal or oral sex or share sex toys.
You can also pass the infection to the eyes if it's on someone's hands. A mother can pass it to her baby at birth.
