A member asked:
I got retested for chlamydia on monday and it came back positive. is it possible that my birth control interfered with the antibiotics in any way?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antibiotics/OCP: Anything is possible but it is highly unlikely that your birth control affected the antiobiotic treatment for chlamydia. Usually we would think that you were not treated effectively or had possibly a reinfection.
