A member asked:

If i had sex with my partner three days after taking azithromycin for chlamydia, does this mean we have to take the antibiotic again?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: BOTH sexual partners need to be cultured to make sure that you are not "ping-ponging" and infection: you must both test negative.
