Is Chlamydia Infection Contagious?

Hi my wife have recently tested positive for Chlamydia and both of us have been given antibiotics to treat it. I know that first thing to do is accuse someone of cheating but I know 100% that none of us did such a thing. Both of us had no sexual partners or even activity before we got married. My wife have recently started working in a lab and part of her job is to receive specimens. She admitted to doing that without using gloves which is A NO NO. Is there a possibility that she got infected from direct contact with contaminated fluids in a specimen? like if she have an open cut in her finger or hand?
