It depends...: ...on timing, whether your partner was treated for chlamydia, and so on. If single dose azithromycin or doxycycline for 7 datys, and sex within a week, you were protected by the antibiotic. If your partner had been trearted, it also shouldn't be a problem. If longer or partner untreated, you both may need treatment now. Call the doc or clinic where treated, give details, and follow their advice.
