The best way to avoid getting chlamydia, or any STI, is to avoid sex altogether.
Another way is to make sure you're having sex with a partner you know to be free of STIs—who only has sex with you.
Latex condoms, when used consistently and correctly, can also help reduce the risk of transmission by providing a barrier between you and the infection.
		If you have sex, get tested for chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, and other STIs regularly—at least once or twice a year or more often if you have multiple partners.
		If you get infected with chlamydia and/or gonorrhea, get treated and make sure your sex partner or partners get treated too, so that the infection can be stopped from spreading or reinfecting you.
