Unfortunately, because of its asymptomatic nature, many people can have chlamydia for several years without knowing. Chlamydia is an infection caused by the bacteria Chlamydia Trachomatis that can be shared from one person to another during sexual activities like anal, vaginal, or oral sex. Sexually active people between the ages of 16-24 are advised to carry out periodic tests to be sure they don&#8217;t have chlamydia.
