Chlamydia can even spread without penetration, orgasm, or ejaculation, as genital contact is all that is needed to spread the infection.
“It can also be passed by a pregnant woman to her baby,” the NHS added.
Chlamydia, however, can not be passed on through kissing or hugging.
Furthermore, the infection is not passed on through sharing towels, swimming pools, toilet seats, or cutlery.
