Question 1

is it safe to be fingered one day after taking 1g azithromycin for chlamydia? i am concerned that if i was not entirely cured, and my partner fingered me, and then fingered me again minutes later without washing his hands, could he reinfect me? in other w

Accepted Answer

No, : No, this is not possible. 
Most doctors want to re-test you in about 6-8 weeks to make sure the infection has cleared. Also, if your partner was not treated then he can very easily reinfect you.
Please remember to be safe and protect yourself against std's by using condoms.
Take care.

Question 2

i took azithromycin for chlamydia. what i want to know is during treatment, is it possible to reinfect another part of your body via bodily fluids?

Accepted Answer

No: Since the azithromycin is in your blood stream and therefore everywhere in your body you can't infect another prt of your body with chlamydia while on the antibiotics and the chlamydia should be gone by the time you finish the antibiotics. Hope this helps.

Question 3

i had unprotected oral and vaginal sex and got chlamydia. i'm on azithromycin but suck my thumb, can i reinfect myself this way if i had throat chlam?

Accepted Answer

Not really !: As long as you  finish the prescribed PO antibiotics and get retested to make sure you are fully cured! please please ! " practice safe sex... Or you might be next"  life's  complicated already, don't make it harder for you! regards!

Question 4

how long does it take for pid to be cleared up after only having it for 2 weeks? taking azithromycin for chlamydia. at risk for infertility?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Once antibiotics are given, the inflammation subsides in a week. The earlier you have treatment done, the lower risk for infertility in future. Use condoms to prevent re-infection. Also make sure you get your partner treated.

Question 5

will 500mg of azithromycin cure chlamydia/ngu if exposure was from receiving fellatio yesterday? i have been treated before; have a few early symptoms

Accepted Answer

Chlamydia: The dose of azithromycin used to treat chlamydial infections is usually 1000 mg.  A half dose of 500 mg may be effective in a person of smaller stature with a mild infection.

Question 6

my partner received treatment through azithromycin for chlamydia. however, i received fellatio from her within 4 days of the treatment, am i at risk?

Accepted Answer

Chlamydia does: not usually grow in the mouth, so I would think that you are safe,but I would check with your doctor..

Question 7

i have chlamydia and i had barely unprotected sex with husband for me 8 days after taking treatment for it and my husband 7 days and 10 hours with azithromyacin  2 500 mg pills did we reinfect each other ?

Accepted Answer

More testing needed: If you were both treated at the same time, it is unlikely either of you reinfected the other with chlamydia. However, chlamydia often is present along with other germs that can cause bacterial vaginosis (wth odor) and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which could explain your pain. Also gonorrhea? Stop having sex entirely and re-contact your doctor ASAP. This could be serious. Good luck!

Question 8

i had protected sex the day after taking azithromycin, will that hurt my chances of curing chlamydia?

Accepted Answer

No: Having protected sex will not interfere with the azithromycin.

Question 9

i have taken azithromycin for chlamydia and in parallel to it a five day treatment for fungul infection, can it affect chlamydia treatment
thanks?

Accepted Answer

No, ...: Both should not interfere each other. Nonetheless, if worried, you may take one after another in 3-5 days apart since treating chlamydia and fungal infection are usually not urgent.

Question 10

if my partner and i took azithromycin for chlamydia and had unprotected sex the same day after treament does that affect the treatment?

Accepted Answer

Not if monogamous: If you both are sexual with only each other, than having sex after both being treated should be fine.
