A member asked:

You have chlamydia and you are experiencing discharge and itching. then, yo take the medication and hours later you still feel itching and you go to itch. does the discharge from your underwear reinfect you and stop the medication from working?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: When you take the common treatment for chlamydia it builds up & stays in your tissues for a week or more. Over this time frame your system is resistant to reintroduction of that germ & allows you to heal. If you are exposed to the germ a few weeks later when the tissue levels have disappeared, you can get it again.
