Was he treated?: Was your partner also treated? If not then you have likely reacquired the infection. Both partners should be treated and then avoid intercourse for 2 weeks. I generally recommend couples get retested so we can be sure it is gone but that is not necessarily the standard of care per the CDC guidelines.
