when can you become infected with chlamydia?

Question

I just started to become intimate with this new guy and I want to know if it was him who would have given this to me. We have been seeing eachother for about 3 weeks

Answer 1

Chlamydia is known as a "silent" disease because about three quarters of infected women and about half of infected men have no symptoms. If symptoms do occur, they usually appear within 1 to 3 weeks after exposure.

In women, the bacteria initially infect the cervix and the urethra (urine canal). Women who have symptoms might have an abnormal vaginal discharge or a burning sensation when urinating. When the infection spreads from the cervix to the fallopian tubes (tubes that carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus), some women still have no signs or symptoms; others have lower abdominal pain, low back pain, nausea, fever, pain during intercourse, or bleeding between menstrual periods. Chlamydial infection of the cervix can spread to the rectum.

Men with signs or symptoms might have a discharge from their penis or a burning sensation when urinating. Men might also have burning and itching around the opening of the penis. Pain and swelling in the testicles are uncommon.

Men or women who have receptive anal intercourse may acquire chlamydial infection in the rectum, which can cause rectal pain, discharge, or bleeding. Chlamydia can also be found in the throats of women and men having oral sex with an infected partner.

Answer 2

Within several days women who have had sex with someone with chlamydia start to have symptoms, itchy vagina, smelly discharge, etc. If you suspect it is him, you must stop sexual contact immediately. If you have even more courage tell him so that he could get checked also.

The quicker you get treated the better you will be.

Answer 3

regardless if he gave it to you or not if youare having unprotected sex it is going to pass it along to her or she
