How long can you have chlamydia before giving it to your partner?
You can have chlamydia for years without knowing, but it can be spread during this time. Each time you have sex, there is about a 40% chance of transmitting chlamydia. The chances of having sex ten times without transmitting the infection are very small -- about 6 in 1000.It's important to remember, though, that the person who gets chlamydia may have no symptoms either. In women, 80-90% have no symptoms, and half of men don't have symptoms. Your health care provider can't tell you how long you've had chlamydia. It's not unusual for someone to enter a relationship with chlamydia, and for neither partner to know they're infected until they are screened.For that reason, you should get tested for STDs whenever you have a new partner.Yes, you can get chlamydia, or first get chlamydia symptoms, four months after your partner did.
Does chlamydia lay dormant after antibiotics?

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.
