Chlamydia can damage the body, but the germ is gone after effective treatment is completed. Patients being treated should avoid oral, anal, and vaginal intercourse, even with a condom, until seven days after one-dose treatment, or until seven day treatment is completed.

No, there is no need for an injection of any kind to cure chlamydia. It can be cured with a single dose of antibiotics in pill form.
1 gm of zithromax is required to treat chlamydia, taken in 1 dose. A Zithromax Tri-Pak contains three pills of 500 mg each. Take two of these in one dose to cure chlamydia.
If you take 100 mg twice a day, you cure the chlamydia.
Simply take the antibiotic (zithromax) to cure chlamydia. It likely will have no affect on your life at all. Go to your local health department if needed.
There are often never any signs of most STD's, so the only way to know is to get tested. Curing chlamydia is simple and only takes about a week, maybe 2, dependant on how bad it is.

It sounds like your doctor is treating you for chlamydia with doxycycline, and against the possibility of undetected gonorrhea with ciprofloxacin. However, Cipro is no longer recommended for treatment of gonorrhea in 2011 as I'm typing this answer. Call your doctor to find out what was intended with the two medications. There may be some other explanation specific to your situation. If the doctor was trying to cover gonorrhea, ask him or her to choose a medication from the current CDC treatment recommendations.
