Looks like by sex is about the only way........."Chlamydia (Chlamydia trachomatis) is a bacterium that causes an infection that is very similar to gonorrhea in the way that it is spread and the symptoms it produces. It is common and affects approximately 4 million women annually. Like gonorrhea, the chlamydia bacterium is found in the cervix and urethra and can live in the throat or rectum. Both infected men and infected women frequently lack symptoms of chlamydia infection. Thus, these individuals can unknowingly spread the infection........"

Chlamydia can be transmitted during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Chlamydia can also be passed from an infected mother to her baby during vaginal childbirth.
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.

urine test r good for testing so if it was negative u r negative and like the other guys said it is sexually transmitted...the only thing is ur girlfriend cld have had it for ages as it is very common that pple can have chlaymydia for a long time with no symtoms and this is especially in women...if u live is the uk it is the biggest growing sti in pple under 30.....so it doesnt necessarily mean ur girlfriend cheated on u...it means she could have had it for a long time with out knowing

Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease so either you have it and gave it to her or she got it from someone else.

Babies can get it from their infected mothers at birth, from passing through the birth canal. That's why they give babies antibiotic drops in their eyes, to prevent it. Other than that, it's pretty much just sex.
