A member asked:
Without another exposure can chlamydia return once treated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: The treatment for chlamydia is very effective. Most people who have a positive test for chlamydia after being treated have been exposed again and have contracted a new infection. It is important for all of one's sexual partners to be treated in the event of a positive test for an std.
