Help!

Hi,

I’m just wondering if chlamydia can live on your hands/fingers when it’s dried.

Totally freaking out as when I had the infection I used to change my baby and apply nappy cream when she needed it and bath her.

Full of worry!!!

Sexually transmissible parasites have all something in common. They don't survive for so long out of the body and our skin is an efficient barrier to protect us from them. A normal hand hygiene is enough to keep them away.
