A member asked:

Finished my antibiotics, how to tell if my chlamydia is gone?

Dr. Joel Gallant answered

Specializes in Infectious Disease

Symptoms: If your symptoms are gone, then it's gone. Repeat testing to prove cure is not necessary, but repeat testing in 3 months to be sure you haven't been reinfected is recommended.
