Best Answer

You can get chlamydia from oral, anal, or vaginal sex; from sharing sex toys; or from genital-genital contact. In addition, a baby can get chlamydia during birth to a woman who is infected. If none of these applies to you, you won't get chlamydia.

It would be almost impossible to have chlamydia without some kind of sexual contact (anal, oral, vaginal). You could have had it for some time (even years) without knowing from a prior sexual contact; but it would have been from a sexual contact.
