A member asked:
Treated chlamydia retested 3wks later& still +. could it be a false +? if im taking antibiotics& retest for 2nd opinion will the results be affected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: You likely still have an infection. Your partner should also have been tested/treated, as reinfection is a likely scenario if this was not done. You may need another alternative antibiotic to ensure appropriate treatment. Talk to your doctor about this.
