what are the chances of me catching chlamydia from giving oral on someone that has chlamydia
Your chances are extremely high because chlamydia can be passed to person to from oral sex as well. Sometimes, teens do not even know they have it because there are little to no early warning signs. In any case, you do need to go see your doctor and get tested and/or treated. There are treatments for Chlamydia, however no one should ever have to go through with that. Next time, be more careful.

How do people get chlamydia?
Chlamydia can be transmitted during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Chlamydia can also be passed from an infected mother to her baby during vaginal childbirth. Chlamydia can be found in the throats of women and men having oral sex with an infected partner.
Any sexually active person can be infected with chlamydia. Because the cervix (opening to the uterus) of teenage girls and young women is not fully matured and is probably more susceptible to infection, they are at particularly high risk for infection if sexually active. Since chlamydia can be transmitted by oral or anal sex, men who have sex with men are also at risk for chlamydial infection.
Chlamydia is known as a "silent" disease because the majority of infected people have no symptoms. If symptoms do occur, they usually appear within 1 to 3 weeks after exposure.
