A member asked:

I'm curious if chlamydia can come back on its own. i had it in aug 2013,after meds got a retest. came back neg. just curious if it comes back

Not really: When it is appropriately treated it is killed off. However, any re-exposure can bring it back.Some people can carry the germ for prolonged periods with no symptoms and pass it to their partners.
