Accepted Answer

Chlamydia: Reinfection with chlamydia can be treated with one oral dose of azithromycin or a week of doxycycline.

Question 2

what is the chances of a antibiotic for chlamydia not working ?

Accepted Answer

Chlamydia: If the medication is taken properly it should work. Often the improper intake of the medication and the lack of treatment of the partner or re-exposure to the infection through unprotected sex is the reason for the failure of the treatment.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Yes: The treatment for chlamydia is the same in men and women.

Oral: A single dose of oral Azithromycin (1 gm) is the treatment of choice.

Question 5

how long does it take chlamydia to clear your system after taking a antibiotic?

Accepted Answer

ONE TO TWO WEEKS: After taking the full course of antibiotics like 2 gram of azithromycine it may take 1to2 weeks to clear the infection completely and one should refrain from vaginal or oral sex for two weeks after the treatment is completed.

Question 6

got tested for chlamydia, took antibiotic a day before. does that affect test results after only 18 hours?

Accepted Answer

What kind of test?: A DNA test would not be affected. If it was a culture, antibiotic treatment may produce a false negative.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 7

tested positive for chlamydia. today i got a shot of antibiotics instead of pills. how long will it take for symptoms to go away?

Accepted Answer

Maybe gonorrhea?: Are you sure the test wasn't positive for gonorrhea, not chlamydia? No injection treats chlamydia -- at least none that is commonly used -- but gonorrhea is treated with a shot of the antibiotic ceftriaxone. If gonorrhea, symptoms should stop getting worse within a day and start improving after that. For chlamydia, it's somewhat slower. For both, complete clearing may take a week or more.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

STD: Transferable YES!
Where did he get it?
You and he should be diagnosed and treated and any other partners interacting, or you just keep circling the bacteria.
Azitnromycin or doxycycline are commonly used.

Question 9

my bf was treated for chlamydia last friday with 4 antibiotics and a shot. last night i gave him oral are we both ok since we didn't wait 6 days?

Accepted Answer

Probably OK, but...: Most likely &quot;4 antibiotics&quot; means 4 pills of a single antibiotic, azithromycin (total 1 gram). The shot was ceftriaxone, to cover gonorrhea in case it was also present. It&#x27;s usually recommended to wait a week before sex, but 4-5 days really isn&#x27;t a problem. But only if you were also treated for chlamydia. If not, see your doctor today; you both may need re-treatment.

Question 10

if a man doesn't take all of his antibiotics for chlamydia in 15' and his partner tested negative in oct 16' and now he has tested pos. is he cheating?

Accepted Answer

He was infected.: if in 2015 he was positive for chlamydia didn't finish his antibiotics he may still have had it. But, if he has had sex with his partner throughout 2016 and she was negative then he probably did NOT have it. Now he is positive again. This means most likely he has a new exposure to chlamydia. Please followup with your primary doctor to get treated and tested.
