How long is chlamydia contagious after treatment?

After beginning treatment, most physicians suggest that patients with uncomplicated chlamydial infections (cervicitis, urethritis, and/or proctitis) are no longer contagious after about seven days.

How long after getting chlamydia can you infect someone else?

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. Make sure to tell your sex partner or partners that you have chlamydia.

How do you know when chlamydia is gone?

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.

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.
