A member asked:

It's been about 6 months since i was treated for chlamydia, i'm now expierencing the same smelly discharge i had when i had the std. is it back?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Could be: You can get this STD numerous times if exposed. It is not a one time thing like measles. It is more like a strep throat in your chances of getting it when exposed.
