A member asked:

How long does it take for the treatment to cure it 100% and how long do we have to wait to have sex again ? ok my girlfriend was told that she had an early case of chlamydia, and her doctor gave her the antibiotics to get treated. she took them last wedne

You : You should not have sex until 7 days after you both were treated. If you both were treated with the single dose antibiotic last wednesday, then you can have sex again this wednesday without fear of re-infection. If you were on the 10 day course of antibiotics, then you have to wait 7 days from when you finished the antibiotics. Below, i linked to a website from the center for disease control that gives more in-depth information about chlamydia.
