Unfortunately, it is almost a guarantee that any frog you purchase has been exposed to the fungus. Either due to direct exposure from the wild, or because of the lack of strict quarantine measures taken by prior owners of the frog. It exists in the wild and is almost impossible to avoid. We have treated ours frogs as well as the froglets as they emerge and have eaten. We do it as a precaustion and to try to help stop the chytrid fungus in it's tracks in the pets industry. Just know that if you feed wild frogs and some wild insects to your amphibians, you are taking the chance of exposing them to it.
