A member asked:

If i am currently being treated for chlamydia and have had sex within the two weeks of treatment does it stop the cure? my sexual partner was yet to be treated for the std.

The : The issue here is re-infection. If your partner has chlamydia and has not received treatment then he will likely pass it to you, and the antibiotics you took two weeks ago will not safeguard you from getting it again. Please see your doctor for repeat tesing and treatment if needed; also encourage your partner to do the same. You both should be free of infection before having sex again. Also consider using condoms to protect yourself against chlamydia and other std's. Best of luck.

Get re-treated: This question implies your partner is the person who infected you, right? If so, he could well have infected you again. Return to the doctor/clinic where you were treated, and bring your partner so he can be tested and treated. If he refuses, ask them for antibiotic for you to give to him. This was a big mistake, but maybe you're not completely in control of the situation.
