A member asked:

How long after taking antibiotics for chlamydia will the result still say positive even after being treated?when should i test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wait 2 weeks: Most antibiotic treatments for Chlamydia take 7 to 10 days. After 2 weeks post Rx, the Chlamydia test should revert to negative as long as you were not re-exposed to the non treated Chlamydial giving sexual partner.
