A member asked:

I took the single 1 g dose of azithromycin 5 days ago, can i have sex with out today with out passing chlamydia?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I would wait: Your prescribing doctor needs to repeat testing to ensure the STD was fully treated. Sex should wait until this is confirmed, since you may be continuing to pass on this infection to your partner.
