Heres some info for you on this. It can also be caught from oral sex so in theory, if your friend has given a BJ to another guy, she could have caught this in her throat.

If she then gave her current boyfriend a BJ, he could have got it on his penis and passed it onto her vagina through intercourse.

Another possibility is that he could have got this in his throat from eating out another girl and then passed it onto your friend by eating her out.

There are a few possibilities but you can only catch it through sex.

Chlamydia Chlamydia (pronounced clam-id-ee-a) is a sexually transmitted infection. Officially, it is a bacterium, but it is more like a virus in being very small and unable to multiply outside living cells.

Chlamydia is not life-threatening, but it can do serious damage to a woman’s Fallopian tubes. If this happens, the woman could become infertile (unable to become pregnant). The results of chlamydia infection cost the NHS in the UK about £50 million a year.

Is chlamydia common? In the UK and USA, chlamydia is the commonest sexually transmitted infection.

In 2007, 121,986 new cases were seen at sexual health clinics in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. This is an 7% rise compared with 2006.

Of those affected, 65% were in the 16–24-year age group.

Chlamydia is not just a disease of young people; it is increasing in older age groups as well as in young people.

The true figure must be even higher than the clinic figures suggest, because chlamydia is often a ‘silent’ infection – not causing any symptoms – especially in women. There must be hundreds of thousands of people with the infection who are unaware they have it, and therefore do not go to a clinic.

When doctors in Portsmouth, UK, tested urine samples from all sexually active women under the age of 25 (who were visiting their family doctor for any reason), they found about 1 in 10 had chlamydia (Sexually Transmitted Infections 2003;79:22–27).

How you get chlamydia Chlamydia is passed on during sex, but using a condom gives good protection if you use it properly. You can also catch chlamydia during oral sex, because it can be carried in the back of the mouth. Because most people with chlamydia do not know that they have it, they can pass it on to someone else unknowingly.

It is not caught from toilet seats or swimming pools.

How do you know if you have chlamydia?

About 50% of men with chlamydia have no symptoms, and do not know that they have the infection. In the other 50%, chlamydia irritates the urethra (the tube inside the penis), causing a discharge and making it painful to pass urine.

Occasionally (in about 2% of cases), chlamydia spreads to the testicle (usually only on one side), where it causes pain and inflammation; some doctors think that if this happens, the man’s fertility could be affected.

In women, chlamydia infection is usually completely silent, so they are unaware that they have it – 80% of women with chlamydia have no symptoms at all. Some women notice a slightly increased discharge, or slight bleeding between periods or after sex. If it has reached the Fallopian tubes (see below), it can cause pain in the lower part of the abdomen (tummy).

Some men (and a few women) develop ‘Reiter’s syndrome’. This is a reaction to the chlamydia bacterium, and consists of painful joints (usually knees or ankles) and sore eyes (conjunctivitis).

It normally clears up within 6 months, but may keep recurring over several years, even if you never get chlamydia again.

Whether or not you develop Reiter’s syndrome depends more on your genes than on the severity of your chlamydial infection.
