A member asked:

Treated chlamydia once, have not been sexually active since then. i think it's back (it's been 2 weeks). just got retested, will i still be curable?

Yes if positive: If the Chlamydia culture is again positive then it can be retreated. This sometimes occurs if the first Rx was either inadequate or there is antibiotic resistance.
