The usual dose of minocycline for acne isn't enough to reliably cure chlamydia, but probably it would prevent infeciton if exposed; or could make your test falsely negative. If your partner has had a positive chlamydia test, then despite your negative test you should be treated with a single 1 g dose azithromycin; or doxycycline for 7 days; or take your minocycline 100 mg twice daily for a week.
