Chlamydia is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. It is the most common STD. It is highly contagious and unless there is early treatment with antibiotics, it may cause sterility in females.
In women, chlamydia may cause cervicitis, which is an inflammation of the cervix.
In males, chlamydia is one of the causes of urethritus, which is an inflammation of the urethra.

Chlamydia is a bacterial infection speard through unprotected oral, vaginal and/or anal sex with an infected partner.
Chlamydia is known as the "silent epidemic" due to most people are asymptomatic. This mean's you will show no symptoms, however the infection is still within you. Due to misinformation, Chlamydia DOES NOT stay dormant in the system and undected from regular STD testing (which tests for ghonnoeahra, syphilis and chlamydia). You may not show symptoms but if you are regularly tested you can make sure you can catch the infection at an early stage.
Chlamydia is easily treatable with a round of antibotics - it is best to return for retesting 4 weeks AFTER taking said mediciation to make sure the infection has been eliminated from your system.

A) Please ask the question using proper English. I swear in 20 yrs there will be an entire generation of people who dont know how to spell and write "sum, sumthin, dis, cuz, and wads". PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.....pay attention in English class cos this does not make you look cool
B)Yes Chlamydia is an infection. Its a sexually transmitted disease. You can get Chlamydia by regular, oral or anal sex. 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. The damage can lead to chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and potentially fatal ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy outside the uterus). Women infected with chlamydia are up to FIVE times more likely to become infected with HIV. And its a silent disease, you might have it for yrs and never know it.
So its not that you were mixing two guys sperm, its because you are obviously having sex with two many guys cos you have the opportunity to mix two guys sperm. Use a condom, dont sleep around, heck, maybe dont have sex even. But if you do, pick one guy who is faithful and clean and stay with him. Sleeping around will get you an STD.
