Good morning,
I believe it is of vital importance to understand that Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection that is transmitted through exchange of bodily fluids (semen/sperm, vaginal fluids, blood, etc.) Therefore, if you have been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection it is important to inform your sexual partner(s) that you have had contact with over the last 6 months to ensure that this person(s) are evaluated and treated. Chlamydia is treated with 1000mg (usually 2 tabs of azithromycin each 500mg). Some providers treat with a 5 day course of doxycycline. It is extremely important that you complete your antibiotic course and follow-up with your provider or local health department in 2-3 weeks to ensure that the infection has been resolved. Please reference/search the CDC website regarding this sexually transmitted infection to learn more.
Thank you and have a blessed day.
