You : You should not have sex until 7 days after you both were treated. If you both were treated with the single dose antibiotic last wednesday, then you can have sex again this wednesday without fear of re-infection. If you were on the 10 day course of antibiotics, then you have to wait 7 days from when you finished the antibiotics. Below, i linked to a website from the center for disease control that gives more in-depth information about chlamydia.

I went to the doctor for a STD check up. I told them I had chlamydia, because the person I had Unprotected sex with was notified by his doctor he had chlamydia. 10 days after the antibiotics the symptoms came back.
