Specializes in Psychiatry

Chlamydia: Chlamydia sxs (if you have them) usually occur 1 to 3 weeks after exposure (but could be more rapid in some situations). Often don’t have sxs. That’s why it’s called a silent STD. Sxs can include: vaginal discharge, bleeding w intercourse or btwn periods, nausea, fever, painful intercourse, & lower abdominal & back pain.
