Chlamydia is not treated with an injection, but with pills. Gonorrhea is treated with an injection. You should abstain from oral, anal, and vaginal sex until seven days have passed since you and your partner completed treatment.

Depends on the clinical situation. 7-14 days is the typical range. Ask your health care provider for information specific to your situation.
No, it is not long enough.

The CDC reports that there is little research on treatment for chlamydia in your throat. Typically, health care providers use the same doses that are used for genital chlamydia.
