Is it safe to masturbate (with toys) while you have chlamydia if youre taking medication as instructed? im a frequent masturbator (almost nightly) ive been instructed to retest in 3wks and its safe to have sex after 1. will my toys reinfect me?

There is little if any risk of self-reinfection. However, you should play it safe and wash the toys or wipe them with disinfectant after each use. That will eliminate any possibility you could reinfect yourself.

I can’t say for certain whether your toys will reinfect you. To be on the safe side, consider getting new sex toys.
