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.
