Chlamydia can be given from a male or female. It may be transferred from anal, oral or regular intercourse. It is not the girl's fault. It is caused by a bacterium "Chlamydia trachomatis". It is not from being "dirty" because the bacteria is spread through sexual activity, so whether or not an individual showers is irrelevant, because it enters one's body via sexual activity like oral, anal or regular sex.

Chlamydia:
Chlamydia is caused by the bacteria chlamydia trachomatis.
Much chlamydial infection goes undiagnosed, because the infection is often without symptoms.
However, it can cause vaginal bleeding and discharge, abdominal pain, fever and inflammation of the cervix in women.
And in men, it can cause a watery or milky discharge from the penis, swollen or tender testicles and a burning feeling while urinating.
The long term complications can be severe, especially for women where it can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy and infertility.
Between 20% and 50% of children born to women with chlamydia will be infected.
Chlamydia is the leading cause of neonatal conjunctivitis, an eye infection in babies that can cause blindness.
However, it is easy to treat with antibiotics. (BBC News)
The bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis causes chlamydia. The condition most commonly spreads through sexual intercourse and other intimate contact between genitals and the rectal area. It's also possible for a mother to spread chlamydia to her child during delivery, causing pneumonia or a serious eye infection.
To clarify, the bacterium that causes the genital infection chlamydia is separate from the similarly named bacterium that can cause respiratory infections, including pneumonia.
A variety of the Chlamydia trachomatis bacterium causes another sexually transmitted disease called lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV). Initial signs of LGV include genital sores, followed later by fever and swollen lymph nodes in the groin area. The greatest prevalence of LGV is in Africa, Southeast Asia, Central and South America and Caribbean nations. The disease has increased recently among homosexual and bisexual men in Europe. American health officials have expressed some concern about LGV's emergence in the United States.(MayoClinic)

1] "Clap' is gonorrhea, not chlamydia.
2] you get STDs from your partner, male or female, who has had sex before you, with an infected person.
Both people must be treated at the same time, and either not have sex, or use condoms until both treatments are complete.

It is a sexually transmitted disease. it can come from a guy or a girl. they could be the cleanest person in the world, it just matters if they caught it from someone else. Not the girls fault. may not even know she/he had it yet when they spread it.

It's a disease, and it can be transmitted by both males and females. It is caused by one partner who has it giving it to the other during unprotected sex.
