A member asked:

I contracted chlamydia for a second time, can i take the same treatment from the first time? (100mg doxycycline, twice a day/7 days)

Dr. Brian Struyk answered

Yes: Yes. If you took your medication as prescribed and this is a new infection, the same treatment should be effective. I would encourage you to practice safe sex in the future before you contract hiv.
