A member asked:
Am very upset about spontaneous chlamydial reinfection from gi tract. does this mean my partner's health will never be safe? it can resurface any time

Misunderstanding: There is no such thing as "spontaneous" chlamydial infection, whether from the GI tract or anywhere else. You can catch chlamydia only by sex with an infected partner. New research indicates the possibility of chlamydia persisting in the GI tract and maybe resistant to azithromycin. Even this probably is rare, and such persistence probably is cleared by tetracycline antibiotics like doxycycline.

Nice story: Sounds like your partner is trying to cover their tracks. Around here we would now try to sell you some swampland as residential property.
