Is Chlamydia Non-contagious After 36-48 Hours Of Treatment?
Question: hi i have heard that chlamydia is non-contagious 36-48 hours after treatment. is that correct?
Brief Answer:
No, that is not correct
Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but it is important to avoid having intercourse for a week following the start of the treatment to ensure you don't pass the infection.
It is also important that your sexual partner gets treated as well to ensure you don't get reinfected.
I hope I answered your question.
