A member asked:

If my partner and i mutually masturbated 2 days after both taking 1g of azithromycin for chlamydia, with no sex, could we get reinfected?

No: It is unlikely and hopefully hands were thoroughly washed before and after. Make sure you are both re-tested for Chlamydia after the designated period of time after the Azithromycin by the MD(s).
