Blood screening is not a normal way to test for chlamydia. With the normal testing for chlamydia, the tests are accurate again in the future (although possibly not accurate within the first month after treatment, depending on which test is used.) You should consider yourself contagious until seven days after single-dose treatment, or until seven-day treatment is complete.

If you had chlamydia do you have throw away your underwear?
No, you don't need to get rid of your underwear after chlamydia treatment. Chlamydia does not live outside the body for more than a few minutes. You can't catch it from wearing the same underwear, even if you didn't launder it. Although laundering it is always recommended for general hygenic reasons.
What are the chances that a male will get chlamydia?
About 3% to 6% in the US have chlamydia at any given time. Rates of infection in the general population appear to be the same among males and females, although female reported cases are higher (likely due to programs encouraging screening in young women). In females, 50% will have chlamydia by the age of 30. The rates are probably similar for males. See related link for references.

Chlamydia is not for life; it can be treated.
Can you get chlamydia after four days of treatment?
If you got tested seven days after you started treatment, you got retested too soon. The tests used today will give a false positive result for weeks after treatment. Test of cure is not recommended; that is, you don't need to be tested to see if treatment worked, as it always does. However, because reinfection is common (due to unprotected sex with an untreated partner, or some other mishap), retesting is recommended two to three months after treatment. Next time you see a health care provider for testing, be sure to give the provider your complete history, so that you aren't misled by a test that should not have been done in your case.There is no known problem with lack of effectiveness of chlamydia treatment. If you used the correct treatment and took it as directed, and did not have sex during or after treatment, you should not be infected. If you still have symptoms, contact your health care provider. If you made the mistake of getting retested immediately after treatment, then that explains your misunderstanding -- you can't get restested until four to six weeks after treatment or you'll get a false positive test result.
Why didn't you get pregnant if you had unprotected with while you and your partner were infected with chlamydia?

Sadly, that is one of the side effects. And you two should not have unprotected sex while undergoing treatment.
Who is responsible for the cost of pre employment screening?
The cost of pre-employment screening is always the potential employers.
Is a heavy period while having chlamydia a sign of a miscarriage?
Yes, chlamydia can cause a miscarriage.Not surprisingly, evidence suggests that it is a good idea to do whatever you can to not have chlamydia during pregnancy. Previous chlamydia infection may double the risk of ectopic pregnancy, in part by increasing the risk of pelvic inflammation.As far as typical miscarriage goes, there is some evidence that chlamydia infection could also play a role. In a 2008 review, researchers concluded that evidence suggests that several microorganisms similar to chlamydia may be related to miscarriage. And researchers in 2007 also uncovered a possible biological mechanism by which Chlamydia trachomatosis, the strain that causes the STD known as chlamydia, could cause miscarriage by attacking early pregnancy cells, although more research is needed to flesh out the concept.To add to that, according to the CDC, chlamydia can increase the risk of preterm delivery. In short, although researchers do not fully understand the relationship between chlamydia and miscarriage, getting treatment is always a good idea if you have the disease. If you feel you have symptoms of chlamydia or that you may be at risk, promptly talk to your doctor about testing and treatment.
