10. Treatment
As a bacterial infection, chlamydia is treated with antibiotics. Some people will be prescribed tablets to take over the course of a week. Others may be given tablets that are all to be taken on the same day. Patients should not have sex for a week regardless of which method of treatment they receive.
If you have chlamydia then your partner should also be tested, and treated if necessary. In addition, you should also try and contact any sexual partner you have had recently. It is advisable to be tested again around 3 months or so after treatment has been completed.
