A member asked:

Why do i have to wait 3 months to retest for chlamydia? i can't have sex for those 3 months with my partner even though we were treated 2 weeks ago?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hmm: Reinfection is common, which is why we re-test at 3 months. I have not heard of the recommendation to abstain from sex the whole time! i would wait 2 weeks from when you were both treated and use condoms.
