How are chlamydia and gonorrhea transmitted from one person to another?

Chlamydia and gonorrhea are transmitted through sexual contact with the penis, vagina, mouth, or anus of an infected individual.

Chlamydia and gonorrhea can also be transmitted from a mother with an untreated cervical infection to her newborn during childbirth. This can increase the risk of eye infections, sepsis, and pneumonia.
