What are the chances that chlamydia and gonorrhea treatment worked?

Chlamydia and gonorrhea treatment are normally effective. You can get retested three weeks after treatment. Talk to your health care provider if you believe you are still infected, or got reinfected. Reinfection is so common that the CDC recommends retesting for all patients three months after treatment.

Is chlamydia treatment effective if taken immediately after exposure?
Yes, and it's often given that way after a sexual assault. But how do you know that the STD, and the only STD, that your partner has is chlamydia? Get tested for STDs, reduce your risk by abstaining or using condoms or reducing the number of partners, and make sure that you and your partner don't reinfect each other by having sex before the medication has worked completely.
How long does it takes chlamydia to go away?
This question has three aspects:How long do you take medication to cure chlamydia?Length of treatment depends on the medication and the clinical situation. For uncomplicated chlamydia, the first-choice treatments are azithromycin 1 gram in a single dose (one time treatment) or doxycycline 100 mg twice daily for seven days.When can you count on the germ being cleared after treatment?If you took the single-dose treatment with azithromycin, the CDC recommendations are to abstain from oral, anal, and vaginal sex, even with a condom, until seven days has passed. If you took a seven-day treatment, you can consider yourself cured when the treatment is complete. Do not have any kind of sex, even with a condom, until both you and all partners have completed the seven days.Repeat infection with chlamydia is common. Persons whose sex partners have not been appropriately treated are at high risk for re-infection. Having multiple chlamydial infections increases a woman's risk of serious reproductive health complications, including pelvic inflammatory disease and ectopic pregnancy. Women and men with chlamydia should be retested about three months after treatment of an initial infection, regardless of whether they believe that their sex partners were successfully treated.When can you prove you're cured by getting retested?Because of the way that the most commonly-used chlamydia tests work, your test will still be positive for up to three weeks after treatment, even if you are not contagious. However, the CDC does not recommend immediate retesting to prove the treatment worked; treatment is effective enough that test of cure is not needed. However, retesting to check for reinfection, as noted above, is recommended for all patients, regardless of treatment.Chlamydia can stay in your system for seven days after the single-dose treatment, or during the seven days required for other treatment. You should abstain from oral, anal, and vaginal sex during this time so you are not reinfected.
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.
