I was diagnosed almost a year ago and treated. I have not been in a relationship for several months after.

I had my yearly exam and I was positive for the infection and given the antibiotics again.

I contacted my last partner and he wasn't infected. So I didn't get it from him, yet he didn't get it from me. Is it possible that the antibiotics didn't work and the infection recurred months later?

yes it is possible. Usually when you have been treated with anti-biotics they will test you again to ensure that it was entirely cleared up. Were you tested again right after you finished your course of anti-biotics?

I didn't get tested again until recently. I'll make sure I do that this time, I have already scheduled some time.

Why was my last partner so lucky not to get it from me?

It's really hard to give a definitive answer. Having sex with a condom often prevents transmission, it could also depend on how many times you had intercourse, the more times you did it the greater the chance for him to contract it. Although it could be due to the fact that it is easier for women to contract STI's from men than it is for men to contract STI's from women.
