Question about orally transmitted chlamydia- Can I get it?

Question about orally transmitted chlamydia- Can I get it?About a month ago my best friend was diagnosed with the STD after she went to the ER because she was bleeding and had constant "yeast infections that wouldn't clear up." Her boyfriend cheated on her and they broke up and having no clue she had the STD she started dating a friend of ours and they had sex and she also told me she had oral sex and she managed to probably get herself and her partner re-infected during the treatment because they failed to use protection or abstain from sexual activity, and she had oral sex with him.

My friend always shares spoons, forks, straws, bottles, bites off my food, etc. Is there a risk of my friends and me getting infected orally? My friend told me there was probably no risk, but I don't believe that.

How would chlamydia affect me if I got it from my friend? Could it sexually affect me even if I wasn't sexually active? If I was sexually active could I give my partner chlamydia just by having sex with him or would it have to be oral sex?

A little more than a week ago I started feeling sick I have an ear infection related to swollen tonsils, and it cleared up with an antibiotic but came back worse while I was still taking the antibiotic as instructed. The second time around I got a sore throat and a cough. Could my friend have gotten me sick?

I've been to many websites but many are vague about stds in the mouth/throat.

No, for you to get oral chlamydia - you literally would have to be licking her tonsils. Chlamydia is also very hard to get orally, in fact the CDC has advised against tested for it because it's considered rare.

If you friend has genital chlamydia, you cannot catch it orally unless you performed oral sex on her. Chlamydia does not run rampid throughout the body, it affects one place - either orally or genital.

If you go to medhelp.com - you can search through oral chlamydia and mind you, those doctors in the std forum are experts.
