A member asked:
I am sexually active and a partner tested positive for chlamydia. i have been taking minocycline for my acne prior to her notifying me but never completed it. i been tested twice at two different facilities, both negative. how is this possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
minocycline is affective against chlamydia so it is possible the monocline protected you from getting it. The other explanation is even though you were exposed it does not mean you will definitely contract the chlamydia, your immune system may have been able to fight it

Hello, so I tested positive for chlamydia and was treated with doxy for 7 days and am now wondering how soon I can retest for TOC? I know normally you would retest 3-4 weeks but my new partner wants a negative test first before any sexual activity?
