A member asked:

My partner said they tested positive for chlamydia, i am already on oral antibiotics for a upper respiratory infection. would that kill the chlamydia if i was positive for it too? or do i need to be tested and given a different dose of antibiotics?

Depends: Not all antibiotics will kill chlamydia. When you post a question on this site the more detail (what med,what dose, how many times/d) the more likely we can provide a specific answer. You are welcome to start over.Posts are not linked so each must have all relevant info.
