If symptoms appear, they do so in seven to 21 days. If your partner is a man, and he has a urinary tract infection, you may have chlamydia. Only one in four men with chlamydia have no symptoms. Chlamydia is spread by vaginal and anal intercourse or from the birth canal to the fetus. In rare cases, it can be spread from the hand to the eye.
Condoms offer very good protection against chlamydia.
Chlamydia can be confused with gonorrhea and other conditions. Examination of tissue samples or urine is necessary for correct diagnosis. Chlamydia can be treated successfully with antibiotics. No cure for CMV is known. CMV is also sexually transmitted.
