A member asked:

If i tested positive for chlamydia my partner took his medicine but we had sex the day after & i still haven't taking my meds yet could he be reinfected after 24/hrs of treatment?

Dr. Jay Park answered

Your worry is valid. Ideally, both you and your partner get treated at same time to prevent reinfection. Reinfection is common and retesting at 3 months following initial treatment is generally advised.
