Dear Ask The Doctor: Can you get chlamydia from having a lot of sex? Dear Sarah: If you get “a lot of sex”, “not safe sex” with infected people or people that you are not sure about their STD status, yes, most likely you will get Chlamydia, and also some other STDs, that’s why it is very important to practice “safe sex" and I would add: “responsible sex”. For your information: Chlamydia is the most commonly reported sexual transmitted disease in the United States, estimated at 4 million infections annually, with rates higher than 10% in sexually active adolescent females. In a high percentage of cases there are no symptoms, and then those individuals (men 25%-50% and women 70%-80%) can have Chlamydia for a long period of time without knowing it. But if you test those persons they come up with positive results. |
