My partner and I have been treated for a chlamydia infection. If we were not entirely cured, can we give it to another person through sexual contact (not penetration, just touching)?
Yes, you can. If one partner touches their genital region and then touches the other person’s genital area, many sexually transmitted infections can be passed on in this manner. This also includes oral-genital, oral-anal, and regular penetrating intercourse. So you, your partner, and the new partner(s) need to be tested again. If any of you test positive, it is really important to take all the medication prescribed to cure the infection.
