No, generally you do not need to take more antibiotics after completing the prescribed course for chlamydia, as a single dose or a short course is usually effective. However, it's important to avoid sexual activity for at least seven days after treatment and to get retested after three months to ensure the infection is cleared. Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions and advice regarding follow-up care.

What if you were treated for something else and had antibiotics could you find out if you had chlamydia?

No; you must be tested to confirm that you have chlamydia. It's possible that the other antibiotics cleared chlamydia, even though you didn't take them for that purpose. Ask your health care provider for advice based on the antibiotics you took.

Can antibiotics affect the results of a chlamydia test if you still have symptoms?

If you already took antibiotics after a positive chlamydia test, the test may still be positive for two to three weeks after treatment, depending on the type of test your health care provider uses. If you're still having symptoms, it's important to return to your health care provider for a repeat exam. Be sure to ask for testing for trichomonas at that time, as that STD may cause similar symptoms.

Will medication for chlamydia stop it from occurring?

Taking tablets for chlamydia won't stop it from occurring. There is no immunity built up in your body against chlamydia; if exposed you may still catch it again and again. On the other hand...if you just got exposed, and took medication immediately for chlamydia, you will prevent chlamydia from continuing, even if you haven't yet had symptoms or a positive test.
