How do you know if chlamydia is gone after treatment?
If you take the treatment according to the instructions, you won't usually need a test to check the chlamydia has gone. If you're aged under 25, you should be offered a repeat test 3 months after finishing the treatment. This is because you're at a higher risk of getting chlamydia again.
Is chlamydia completely gone after treatment?
Chlamydia is a bacterial infection (like strep throat or an ear infection), which means that once you've been treated and tested negative for it (to make sure the antibiotics worked), it's gone.
Can chlamydia come back by itself?
Yes, you can contract chlamydia more than once, although it's rare for it to reoccur or persist after correct treatment.
Why did my chlamydia come back?
