Does an obgyn test for chlamydia?

Although the CDC recommends annual screening of women 15 to 25 for chlamydia, many health care providers do not heed this recommendation. As of 2010, fewer than half of commercially insured women in this age group had been checked for chlamydia in the last year, and only 57% of Medicaid insureds had been checked for chlamydia during this time.

Women should not assume that their health care providers are providing this important screening. You should ask specifically to be screened if you are sexually active, and you should make sure that you're seeing a health care provider with evidence-based knowledge and expertise in helping you protect your sexual health.

During chlamydia treatment you should avoid oral, anal, and vaginal sex, as well as genital-genital contact. Don't even do these things with a condom.

Specific things to avoid are specific to the medications you're on as well. Ask your health care provider or pharmacist for instructions based on your medication. For instance, if you're on doxycycline, you should protect yourself against the sun until treatment is complete, and you shouldn't take the medication at the same time as dairy foods or calcium supplements; for azithromycin, you should avoid taking over-the-counter medications at the same time without checking with the pharmacist first.

Is herpes more powerful than chlamydia?

Considering Chlamydia can be cured and Herpes not, I would say so.

Depends on what you would consider powerful. Yes herpes does stay with the infected individual for the remainder of their life but chlamydia has horrible effects if left untreated and can lead to many severe conditions.

Don't know if I would call it horrible since Infections from Chlamydia can be cured but you can get sterile if you go untreated. The disease you can be cured from even after that but the sterility will remain.
