What should you do if you think you have chlamydia?

Answer 1

If you think you have chlamydia, go to your local health department, family planning center, primary care provider, or urgent care to be checked. If you have chlamydia, you need to be treated to get rid of the bacteria. You should get testing and treatment as soon as possible. Until you get these results, you should avoid oral, anal and vaginal sex, and genital-genital contact. Don't even do these things with a condom until you've been tested.

Answer 2

If you have chlamydia you should complete treatment as prescribed by your health care provider. You should make sure all partners are notified and treated. You should get tested for other STDs, including HIV. You should abstain from oral, anal, and vaginal sex until seven days after single-dose treatment, or until seven day treatment is complete. You should get retested in two to three months to make sure you weren't reinfected, and you should come up with a plan to reduce your risk for STDs in the future.

Answer 3

If you still have discharge one week after treatment for gonorrhea and chlamydia, you should revisit your health care provider. You may have an additional infection, or may require different treatment.

Answer 4

There is no chlamydia vaccine. Please contact your health care provider to get a better understanding of your diagnosis and treatment. Until then, avoid oral, anal, and vaginal sex as well as genital-genital contact.

Answer 5

If longer than 2 weeks after treatment, go back to your doctor immediately; either the antibiotic didn't work or you had other infections and need to be treated for them.
