Are Chlamydia meds and treatment 100% effective? Can I get C
Posted: 05-06-07 16:09pm

I was dignose with chlamydia about two months ago. I have been with my boyfriend for 5years, but we were broken up for three months during that time i had unprotected sex with another male. He was just my second sexual parter so its not like i sleep around. Once my boyfriend and I got together again, I got tested and it appeared positive for chlamydia. I told both my boyfriend and the men i slept with to get treated for it. I dont speak with the male i slept with but i know my boyfriend was positive for chlamydia also. Now after that scare we are only with eachother no one else becuase we dont want to get infected again. My question is are the antibiotics 100% in killing the STD clamydia???Can my partner and i get chlamydia again even though we both took antibiotics and have not slept with anyone else? We had unprotected sex 2weeks after we were done with the medicine was that too soon to have sex again, should we get tested gain?

A genital Chlamydia infection is a typical sexually transmitted disease. Antibiotics are efficient if are they used in both partners properly:
1. Doxicyclin-2x100mg for 7 days, or
2. Tetracyclin-4x500mg for 7 days
3. In case of allergy to tetracyclines you can use Eritromicin-2x500mg for 7 days
After the treatment, a control test should be performed to observe the results from the therapy. If the test is negative and the infection cured, both partners you can be re-infected only if you have unprotected sex with other partners.
