Possible: Azithromycin lasts for a while in the body after the last dose, possibly up to a week or more. However , it is certainly possible to become reinfected with chlamydia a week later. For more information , visit http://www.Std-gov.Org/stds/chlamydia.Htm.

Yes, sometime: If you got treated for chlamydia its well and good but so many people don't realize that the partners to be treated as well. I don't the case here but if your partner did not get treated then you might get reinfected. Both partners should be treated.
