Chlamydia is a serious bacterial infection. It is not suggested that a person treat themselves for Chlamydia. There are many locations that provide free testing and treatment services. Leaving Chlamydia untreated can result in serious, long term medical consequences. I suggest you consult a medical provider about the proper course of treatment.
