Assuming he received the correct treatment, odds are HIGH he is cured. But, how can he not know he had it and not know he had treatment?

Can you finger your partner while being treated for chlamydia?
As long as you don't transfer fluids from your finger to your eyes or genitals, you won't get chlamydia from fingering someone. However, you only need to abstain for seven days. For the sake of your health and that of your partner, find something else to do for this brief period of time.
What would happen if you nut why being treated for Trichomoniasis?
If you ejaculate while being treated for trichomoniasis, you won't affect treatment. If you have sex with someone while being treated, you could infect the partner, and the partner could then reinfect you.
Does chlamydia treatment affect the birth control pill?
No, but you should be abstaining from sex while being treated for chlamydia, so your birth control effectiveness is not an issue, right?
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.
Can you get chlamydia without being exposed?
Yes, you can catch chlamydia from someone even if you're taking antibiotics when you have sex with that person.
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.
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.
If you test negative for chlamydia are you good to go?
Both partners should be tested; you should not assume that you are negative for STDs based on your partner's test. Various situations can lead to one partner being negative and another positive. Don't take a chance.
Can you catch chlamydia again 4 days after being treated?
Yes, you can get chlamydia immediately after or during treatment. Contact your health care provider for retreatment. Don't have sex until you and all partners have completed treatment.
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
