A member asked:
Does a previous chlamydia infection put me at greater risk of catching it again? or catching any other stds? i was treated and am completely clean now
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A previous chlamydia infection does not make a person more susceptible to future chlamydia infections. However, it is important to ensure that your partner is tested/treated to ensure that reinfection does not occur. In addition, barrier contraception (condoms) can help to prevent STD transmission.
