If i take zithromax a hour after sex will it prevent me from getting chlamidia?

No: If you are concerned about chlamydia, both you and your partner need to be tested.

Possible: But why do you want to expose yourself to chylamidia. Suggest use of protective barrier. Then of course Azithromax will not protect from other STD
