Would recommend requesting expedited partner therapy (EPT) through your doc or your partner’s doc rather than taking amoxicillin-Clav blindly, not a first line choice for Chlamydia infections.

Amox-clav is not reliable against chlamydia. You need doxycycline for 7 days (preferred) or azithromycin single dose (slightly less reliable, but usually effective); and ideally should first be tested for chlamydia. Get in touch with your doctor; the doctor treating your partner; or a local public health clinic or Planned Parenthood. Good luck.
