As said by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the only way to avoid chlamydia, whether genital or anal, is not to have vaginal, anal, or oral sex. If a person has sex, using a condom can reduce the risk of spreading or acquiring chlamydia. Moreover, one could also opt for a long-term and mutually monogamous relationship with a partner who doesn&#8217;t have chlamydia.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Any kind of unprotected sex is incredibly risky. It dramatically increases a person\u2019s risk of spreading or contracting STIs, and the anal region is specifically vulnerable. It\u2019s narrow with fragile skin and doesn\u2019t self-lubricate. Anal sex often causes tears, which may lead to STIs entering the bloodstream.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Another effective way to avoid spreading and acquiring anal chlamydia is to provide enough knowledge and access to care, especially for young, sexually active people. If a person doesn\u2019t know that they\u2019re at risk of getting chlamydia, then they will likely not get tested. They can unintentionally spread the infection to their partners if they are infected without knowing.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-who-is-at-risk-of-getting-anal-chlamydia\">Who Is at Risk of Getting Anal Chlamydia?<\/h2>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Anyone sexually active can get chlamydia in the anus, especially with unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Young people have a higher chance of getting and spreading chlamydia because of the following reasons:<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:list --><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Not using condoms<\/li>\n<li>Moving from one relationship to another (while being infected)<\/li>\n<li>Cervical ectopy (for teenage girls and young women)<\/li>\n<li>No access to STI and STD prevention services<\/li>\n<li>No budget for transportation, testing, and treatment costs<\/li>\n<li>Perceived stigma<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Many sexually active young people have unprotected sex, which exposes them and their partners to STIs.

If a person has unprotected sex with an infected female, they may acquire chlamydia. However, anal sex generally puts people at risk for STIs and STDs because the anal region is vulnerable and narrow. It has fragile skin, and it doesn\u2019t self-lubricate. Tears because of anal sex can lead to STIs entering the bloodstream.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-2664\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2664\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" href=\"\">Can you get chlamydia from unprotected anal to vaginal sex?
