by Prof. Jovanny Cronin Published 3 years ago Updated 2 years ago

If you had doxycycline, you shouldn't have sex – including vaginal, oral or anal sex, even with a condom – until both you and your partner(s) have completed treatment. If you had azithromycin, you should wait 7 days after treatment before having sex (including oral sex).

Can you use a condom after being treated for chlamydia?

You need to take the full course of antibiotics. Don't have sex with anyone while you are being treated. If your treatment is a single dose of antibiotics, wait at least 7 days after you take the dose before you have sex. Even if you use a condom, you and your partner may pass the infection back and forth.

How long after chlamydia treatment can you have unprotected intercourse?

If you have chlamydia, don't have sex until you and your sex partners are done with treatment. If not, you may get infected again. Wait 1 week after taking the 1-dose azithromycin. You can start having sex again the day after finishing treatment with the 7-day or 21-day course of doxycycline.

When do you know chlamydia is gone?

How do you know if chlamydia is gone? If you take all of the antibiotics as prescribed, a chlamydial infection will likely be cured. You should notice an improvement in any discharge, pelvic pain, or pain during urination within a week or two.
