can you get chlamydia from kissing - #25517

Zoya

I am really confused about something and hoping someone can shed some light. A few days ago, I was out with friends and kissed someone I've been seeing, but then I found out that they might have had a past with STDs. Now I'm panicking because I read online that you can get chlamydia from kissing! Is that even true? I mean, we just kissed, there was no other intimate stuff involved. I’ve been having some weird symptoms like a sore throat and this slight burning sensation down there, which is freaking me out. Seriously, can you get chlamydia from kissing? I don't remember the last time I got tested, and the anxiety is really building up. I've always thought that STDs are mostly through sexual contact or sharing needles, but this whole kissing thing just popped in my mind and doesn't go away. I could just be overreacting, but with these symptoms and not knowing about the risk, I feel like I need to get clarity. Can you really get chlamydia from kissing? Or is that just a myth people spread around? I'll appriciate any insights or experiences!

Doctors' responses

Chlamydia is not typically transmitted through kissing. This sexually transmitted infection is primarily spread through sexual activities involving the exchange of bodily fluids, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex. The bacteria responsible for chlamydia, Chlamydia trachomatis, requires specific conditions to survive and infect, which typically aren’t present in the mouth or saliva to a significant extent. It’s understandable to feel anxious with the symptoms you’re experiencing, like a sore throat and burning sensation, but these do not directly imply chlamydia infection. These symptoms could be related to various other issues, such as a new or recurring viral infection or another type of bacterial infection. If you are concerned about any sexually transmitted infection, it’s wise to get tested, especially since you mentioned you don’t recall your last test. Regular STI screenings are an important part of sexual health, particularly if you or your partner have had other partners. While you’re worried about the kissing, your symptoms might indicate something unrelated; an assessment by a healthcare professional would offer more certainty. They could rule out other causes or confirm your concerns more accurately. In the meantime, practicing safe sex and having open conversations with partners about sexual history can significantly reduce risk. Given your current concerns and symptoms, consider scheduling a medical evaluation as soon as feasible to address any potential infections accurately and promptly.
