A member asked:

I took azithromycin ( 1 dose) to cure chlamydia, how long does it take to kill the bacteria and when can i get tested again to make sure i am cured?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

"Z-pack"/chlamydia: Assuming that your partner has also been tested, and does not have other contacts which have not been tested, testing a week after finishing the azithromycin should be accurate.
