I read in articles that chlamydia (even after curing the bacteria in the genital using antibiotics) can still survive and live in the gut and reinfect you randomly and can even lie dormant for years. is this true doctors?

Persistent chlamydia: This is a theoretical possibility according to recent research, but only if chlamydia is treated with azithromcyin. Probably it is uncommon, and zero risk if chlamydia is treated with doxycycline.
