Brief Answer:
Only if partner has chlamydia

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing..
I understand your concern..

Only if the partner is chlamydia positive, the infection will recur.. If the partner is negative, there is less chance of getting the infection..

However it is better to use condom to prevent occarrence of other STD's..

Hope I have answered your query.. feel free to ask any doubts..

Good day..
