How Can I Prevent Chlamydia?

To reduce your risk of getting infected, use a condom each time you have sex. Limit the numbers of sexual partners, or consider practicing abstinence.

If you think you are infected, avoid sexual contact and see a doctor.

Most doctors recommend that all people who have more than one sexual partner, especially women, be tested for chlamydia regularly even in the absence of symptoms.
