Was it for Chlamydia: The question you ask does not have enough information as to why you and your partner took Azithromycine I am presuming you took it for Chlamydia.It usually is given as a single dose of 1 grm If you took it and waited 5 days then in all probabilities cured of Chlamydia and you no more have it
