A member asked:

If im being treated for chlamydia and i have sex with someone who is also being treated will i reinfect myself and need to be treated again?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: It's best to wait until both partners have completed the full prescribed treatment course to minimize both individuals' risk of re-infection.
