 [ Symptoms ] can you re catch chlamydia from unwashed clothing  specifically i am at university and before summer term ended i caught chlamydia i only found this out mid summer and i left some clothing behind such as unwashed pyjama bottoms i have returned after having been treated and testing clean and without thinking i wore the bottoms i feel like i have had persistent symptoms which i can not seem to shake and do not seem to be thrush could i have caught chlamydia back from the clothingtowels even if it is been over 3 months since they were worn [ Disease ] hi this is from the uk is nhs you can catch chlamydia through unprotected vaginal anal or oral sex it can also be passed on if you share sex toys and do not wash them or cover them with a condom each time they are used it is unclear whether chlamydia can be spread if infected semen or vaginal fluid on your fingers is transferred to another person is genitals or by rubbing female genitals together you can not catch chlamydia from kissing or sharing facilities such as toilets or towels with someone who has the infection so as for 3 month old very dry clothing if there was some on them they would not be alive now but if you do have a re occurrence then that is all part of the chlamydia game it just loves to come back again and again sometimes the length could be up to 15 years or longer hope this helps you good luck
