Dear , This is Dr. S. Tomar from healthcaremagic.com's medical team and I ll be your medical advisor for this question. First of all thank you for sharing your concern with us and showing trust on us.
Chlamydia mainly spreads through sexual contact with penis , vaginal , anal or oral sex .
Using a used underwear ( not washed) from a infected person can definitely cause such infection , IF you have any doubt regarding this then its better to get checked for STDs. If the underwear was washed before then such microorganisms mostly gets killed and there is no need to worry much . Consult this issue further with venerologist if any sign or symptoms is noticed in form of any mucoid or watery uretheral discharge or painful urination and get checked.
This is my initial response and discussion is open untill you have any query or need further clarification.
I wish you good health .
Thank you for your question and feel free to contact further for any question .
sincerely,
Dr. Shardendu Tomar
