Someone asked us:

Yes, you can still catch chlamydia even if there was no semen involved in the sex you had. That’s because vaginal fluids and pre-cum can also pass on chlamydia.

If you’ve had any kind of sex (oral, vaginal, or anal) without a condom or Sheer Glyde dental dam, getting tested for STDs like chlamydia is important. Your nearest Planned Parenthood health center can hook you up with STD testing.
