Can you reinfect yourself with chlamydia?

Answer 1

No. Chlamydia can damage the body, but the germ is gone after effective treatment is completed. Patients being treated should avoid oral, anal, and vaginal intercourse until seven days after one-dose treatment, or until seven-day treatment is complete.

Answer 2

Yes, if you have sex before giving the antibiotics enough time to kill all the chlamydia bacteria. You should avoid anal, oral, and vaginal sex, and sharing sex toys, until seven days after single-dose treatment, or until seven-day treatment is complete. Don't even have sex with a condom. Reinfection is very common, and so retesting in three to four months is important.

Answer 6

The CDC recommends retesting two to three months after treatment to make sure you didn't catch chlamydia again. However, treatments are realiable, and the CDC does not recommend test of cure.
