Chlamydia - can it be symptom free for 6 years?

[layz2]

Hello,

Is it possible to have no symptoms of Chlamydia for over 6 years?

The last time I had sex with anyone other than my current partner was 6 years ago.

We're trying for a baby and I'm paranoid that a sexual encounter from over 6 years ago may have given me something like Chlamydia.

Neither one of us have any symptoms, but then I understand it can be symptom free and still cause infertility

Any help and advise welcome.

I see, so it can be symptom-less when you're first infected, but eventually there will be signs.

Thank you again for your help,  that has been very useful.

Yes it can be symptomless for 18 maybe 24 months but in that time frame can do damage inside.

But why do people say it's symptom-less. Death an serious pain seem like pretty big symptoms.

You would be dead or in serious pain where you would not be at the computer but at the hospital.

Thank you for your reply, I really appreciate your time.
May I ask one final question:

Even if chlamydia caused PID, after 6 years there would be other more visible symptoms?

No, 6 years would be impossible.
