Get tested again!: The CDC recommends only re-testing after treatment in a few cases, one of those is if the symptoms have returned. However, if the DNA probe to test is done, you should wait for 3 weeks-5 weeks after finishing the antibiotic, or it will not be accurate. Regardless, repeat test in 3 months. Get partner(s) treated.
