What Can Possibly Cause Chlamydia?

I am currently 38 weeks pregnant and found out I tested positive for chlamydia.
My partner and I have been sexually active, with each other only.In the
beginning of my pregnancy we both tested negative but now towards the end it
shows up positive for myself. Is there any other way to catch chlamydia besides
having sex?

HI,
I understand your concern.
Chalamedia is spread only by sexual relation ( vaginal/ anal/ rectal ) with an infected person.
There is possibility that either of your tests had false reporting. Either you had the infection from the beginning or you don't have it now.
You should get a repeat test done at different pathological laboratory.
In case it is confirmed +ve.. you have to consult a gynecologist for a course of antibiotics . Complete the course to avoid risk of passing the infection to baby during birth.
Thanks.
