People manage to do it all the time. Some estimates suggest one in ten gets reinfected within weeks of treatment. It's so common that the CDC recommends repeat testing two to three months after infection.

It happens all the time. Patients being treated should avoid oral, anal, and vaginal intercourse until seven days after single-dose treatment, or until seven-day treatment is complete. Because reinfection is common, affecting about one in ten patients, the CDC recommends repeat testing two to three months after treatment.

What should you do after treatment for chlamydia?

After treatment for chlamydia, make sure that all partners were treated. Abstain from sex for seven days after single-dose treatment, or until seven-day treatment is complete. Get tested for other STDs including HIV. Get retested in two to three months to make sure you weren't reinfected. Come up with a plan to reduce the risk of getting reinfected.

Why do you keep getting reinfected with chlamydia when you know your partner is not cheating?

There is a possibility your symptoms have cleared up, but you are not entirely cured. The antibotics you have been prescribed may not be effective in your case. Has you partner been tested? Get your partner tested. You may be getting reinfected because your partner has chlmydia as well. Your partner may be asymptomatic - has chlmydia but is not showing any symptoms. Also, how do you know you're getting reinfected with chlamydia? If you get tested too soon after treatment, you may be getting a false positive result. If you believe you're reinfected based on symptoms, you may have a second undetected infection.
