infections could be detected by performing a test of cure (TOC) after treatment. Current chlamydia treatment guidelines recommend a TOC between 3 and 4 weeks after initiation of treatment, in certain patient groups or when symptoms persist [4, 7, 10].

How long after chlamydia treatment will you test negative?

Following single-dose treatment for chlamydia, both pregnant and nonpregnant women should test negative with NAAT by 30 days post-treatment.

How long should you wait to get tested after taking antibiotics for chlamydia?

If you have been recently treated and want to retest to be sure the treatment worked, wait at least 3-4 weeks after completing your treatment. The CDC recommends retesting three to six months after treatment, preferably along with your partner(s), so that you can be sure that all of you are chlamydia free.

How do I know 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.

Why do I have to wait 7 days after chlamydia treatment?

If you're being treated for chlamydia, it's important to avoid sex until 7 days after finishing your medicine. This gives your body time to clear up the infection completely to make sure it doesn't get passed on to anyone.
