Chlamydia can be prevented in several ways:

• Abstaining from sexual intercourse
  
• Not having sex with high-risk partners
  
• Using latex condoms every time when having sex
  
• Avoiding the use of drugs and alcohol, which can impair good
  judgment
  
• Having potential sexual partners tested or treated for chlamydia
  before having sexual relation.

Up to one-fourth of patients will be reinfected because their partners
were not treated.
