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?

You are safe to have sex again once your
treatment is completed, unless your doctor
tells you otherwise. However, it is
recommended that women retest three to
four months after treatment is completed
to make sure that the chlamydia is, in
fact, gone.
You can look here http://www.cdc.gov/std/Chlamydia/STDFact-
Chlamydia.htm#treatment for more
information, but keep in mind the internet
is not a substitute for a doctor. If you
think of more questions, you can write
them down so you don't forget, then ask
the doctor if you go to get retested at
3-4 months. Also, make sure you read any
paperwork that comes with your medication
(I know it's kind of late since you
already finished these meds, but for
future reference) as they will often tell
you when it's safe to start having sex
again and things like that.
