You can get chlamydia again if you were reinfected after treatment. You must abstain until seven days after both partners start treatment.

Why were you and boyfriend treated differently for chlamydia?
Chlamydia trachomatis treatment is commonly with medicines such as doxycycline or azithromycin. It is mandatory that the partner is also tested and treated at the same time because otherwise it is very likely to get re-infected. Also, sexual relations should be avoided until the treatment is finished. Treatment is normally administered orally, especially in men but severe infections in women might require hospitalization. In the end, male treatment for Chlamydia is not different than the treatment that women receive but it is mandatory to be given as soon as possible to avoid possible unwanted complications.

Can only one partner have chlamydia?
Few infectious diseases are transmitted after 100% of exposures. In the case of chlamydia, estimates are that there's a 40-50% chance of getting it from any episode of vaginal sex with an infected partner. This can do with various factors. For instance, the presence of another infectious disease (like herpes) can be a "window of opportunity" for a second infectious disease to enter. Our bodies, and the "shedding" schedule of a present virus or disease have a lot to do with it too. Basically, just luck.Also, it could be a false-positive or false-negative result.It's possible that an intervening antibiotic prescription for some other purpose, such as amoxicillin for sinusitis or doxycycline for Lyme disease, could have cleared the infection in one person before they even knew they had it.In addition, a certain percentage of people clear chlamydia without treatment. The infection may still have done damage before the immune system cleared it.A few people may have a temporary mild immunity to chlamydia after recent infection, so it's possible that one person just had a little more immune protection against the infection than the other.The important points to remember:Due to the risk of undetected chlamydia, partners of patients who test positive for chlamydia may be treated.While couples facing an STD should have a frank discussion about monogamy, you cannot assume that one partner has been unfaithful just because one has a positive chlamydia test and the other doesn't.
