There is no timetable as to how long one can carry the chlamydia infection while showing no symptoms. Months, years, even decades are all very realistic answers. In theory, you could contract chlamydia and go your entire life without ever showing as much as a single symptom. Waiting for chlamydia symptoms to appear before getting tested or seeking treatment is a risky practice and certainly not advisable. If you believe you’ve been exposed, you’ll want to get tested right away whether or not symptoms are present.
