Question 1

after you get a chlamydia shot can you still pass it on?

Accepted Answer

Usually not: Chlamydia infections are often treated by oral antibiotics.  If a patient got a shot of antibiotics to get rid of a chlamydia infection, then he is likely cured, after a few days.  Cure rates are never 100%, so the patient may want to be rechecked by his doctor.  Also, every person the patient had contagious contact with would have to be treated so that the patient doesn't catch it back again.

Question 2

took 14 day dose of doxycycline for chlamydia and a rocephin shot for gonarrhea, when i get retested could i still have those two if havent had any sexual interaction with anyone that could be infected since ive been treated, or would i be cleared?

Accepted Answer

: Yes  Good idea to get confirmation to see if treatment was successful.

Question 3

i am always safe, should i still get tested for chlamydia?

Accepted Answer

Exposure = get test: The only safe sex is where partners who never had outside exposures hook up and never stray. Chlamydia can stay dormant in a male or female genital tract for months without symptoms and pass with any contact.

Question 4

might i still get pregnant after chlamydia?

Accepted Answer

That depends: Sometimes a woman can develop serious complications from chlamydia that can impact fertility.  I would discuss this with your gynecologist.

Question 5

i have chlamydia - can i still get pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Chlamydia can cause a variety of problems with the female genital tract. It can scar the fallopian tubes & interfere with establishment of a pregnancy. However, treatment after early detection may preserve these structures. Work with your health care provider to find your best options.

Question 6

my boyfriend had chlamydia got a shot, pills he finished them iwent got a shot and pills but i haven't finished we had unprotected sex can he get it?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Finish your meds.  You both need to be checked soon anyway to make sure the meds worked to clear the chlamydia. You may or may not have reinfected him since you were partially treated. Even had you not had sex after the treatment you both would still need testing. Get it.

Question 7

Yes if possible for : If your partner is positive for chlamydia then you you may contact if. Now she was treated about a year ago what has happened since then?  Be cautious

Question 9

greetings. after taking the two red pills for chlamydia my symptoms still appear after two weeks. why is this and when should i go get more pills?

Accepted Answer

Get rechecked: for all STDs. If your red pills were Zithromax (??) you would need 2 500mg tablets or 4 250mg tablets as a single oral dose. If you are still symptomatic, call your GYN for re-testing

Question 10

Uncertain: It you have had pelvic inflammatory disease that can definately have a negative impact on fertility. Please see your gynecologist to determine extent of damage from  your chronic chlamydia infection.
