Why do you keep getting reinfected with chlamydia when you know your partner is not cheating?

There is a possibility your symptoms have cleared up, but you are not entirely cured. The antibotics you have been prescribed may not be effective in your case.
Has you partner been tested? Get your partner tested. You may be getting reinfected because your partner has chlmydia as well. Your partner may be asymptomatic - has chlmydia but is not showing any symptoms.
Also, how do you know you're getting reinfected with chlamydia? If you get tested too soon after treatment, you may be getting a false positive result. If you believe you're reinfected based on symptoms, you may have a second undetected infection.
