If that happens, you'll need to repeat treatment. You will continue to be contagious after taking Zithromax 1 g until 7 days have passed. You should abstain from oral, anal, or vaginal sex during that seven days. A repeat test is recommended in 2-3 months, for precisely the reason you asked about -- so many people immediately reinfect themselves with chlamydia that it's worth the time to retest.
What else can I help you with?
What if you had chlamydia for at least two months?

Have chlamydia treatments changed over time?
There hasn't been a problem with drug resistance with chlamydia, but the biggest change was the introduction of azithromycin, which is a one-day treatment that's easier to complete than the previous seven-day doxycycline or erythromycin treatment.
Do chlamydia go away after being treated?
Treatment for chlamydia is very effective. Reinfection, though, is common. Patients being treated should avoid oral, anal, and vaginal intercourse, even with a condom, until 7 days after single-dose treatment, or until finishing seven-day treatment. Any damage from chlamydia is not reversible.
How can chlamydia be treated with one oral pill?
While chlamydia can be treated in a single dose, it's usually two pills. The single-dose treatment is one gram (1g, or 1000 mg) of azithromycin. Persons with chlamydia should abstain from having sex for seven days after single dose antibiotics, or until completion of a seven-day course of antibiotics, to prevent spreading the infection to partners.
What is a one-day treatment for trichomoniasis?
Two grams of metronodazole is the one-day treatment for trichomoniasis. Although the treatment is a single dose, you should avoid sex for seven days after treatment -- even sex with a condom.

There is no such thing as a "chlamydia trait." Chlamydia is not a genetic infection. Once you take effective treatment, the infection is gone, although any damage or scarring it caused is not reversible with antibiotics.
How long will chlamydia remain in your system after treatment Will the blood screening always read 'positive'?
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.
What is the fastest cure for chlamydia?
Whether you take single-dose treatment or seven-day treatment, it will be seven days before you can consider yourself cured. Even though you take just one dose of azithromycin to cure chlamydia, it needs seven days to eliminate all bacteria.
Can you cure chlamydia during the incubation period?
Yes, when you are getting treated you can still transmit chlamydia. Patients being treated should avoid oral, anal, and vaginal intercourse (even with a condom) until seven days after single-dose treatment, or until seven-day treatment is complete.
What should you do after treatment for chlamydia?
After treatment for chlamydia, make sure that all partners were treated. Abstain from sex for seven days after single-dose treatment, or until seven-day treatment is complete. Get tested for other STDs including HIV. Get retested in two to three months to make sure you weren't reinfected. Come up with a plan to reduce the risk of getting reinfected.
Can you carry chlamydia without transmitting it?
Yes - you can have chlamydia and not have any symptoms and it is an STD which of course can be passed on. This does not and will not go away without proper treatment and if not treated properly it can cause serious problems for your future such as not being able to conceive. You as well as anyone you have slept with must be tested and treated. The following link is information on chlamydia that you must read: http://www.cdc.gov/std/Chlamydia/STDFact-Chlamydia.htm
