Could it be chlamydia?

I caught chlamydia about a year and a half ago after having symptoms (pain when urinating and after sex).

I recently used a sex toy (just before or after Xmas) and can't remember if I had properly cleaned/disinfected it after catching chlamydia a year ago.

Is it possible to catch chlamydia a) from a sex toy, and b) so long after originally catching it?

I'm worried in case I have caught it again as I have been getting a burning sensation when peeing but it has been coming and going away again. I am prone to urine infections as well so could be this.

Any advice would be great, thanks

Probably not is the answer, even if Chlamydia it was on the sex toy it will have dried up and died.

If you are worried go and get a repeat test at least two weeks after you used the toy.
