Chlamydia is transmitted through which routes?

Chlamydia is transmitted through which routes?

• A. Sexual contact and body fluids
• B. Airborne droplets
• C. Water contamination
• D. Blood transfusion only

Answer: (A)

Chlamydia is transmitted primarily through sexual contact and exposure to infected body fluids. It spreads when mucous membranes come into contact with secretions containing the bacteria, such as during vaginal, anal, or oral sex with an infected partner. It can also be passed from a pregnant person to her baby during delivery, leading to neonatal infection. It is not spread by airborne droplets, through water contamination, or typically via blood transfusion, making those routes incorrect.
