Can a woman get chlamydia even if not sexually active?

Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. It is usually spread through vaginal, anal, or oral sex. In most cases, chlamydia is not transmitted through non-sexual contact, such as kissing, hugging, or sharing food or drinks.

However, there are a few rare cases in which a woman can get chlamydia even if she is not sexually active. These cases typically involve contact with infected bodily fluids, such as through:

* Sharing sex toys that have not been properly cleaned

* Using contaminated medical equipment

* Being exposed to infected childbirth fluids during childbirth

It is important to note that these cases are very rare. Chlamydia is primarily spread through sexual contact, and the vast majority of cases occur in sexually active individuals.
