How Can Chlamydia Be Prevented?

I started treatment for chlamydia 3 weeks ago. I underwent a 1 week course. I was told no sexual contact during treatment week and the week after. 5 days after treatment finished I had protected sex once with my partner who started the same treatment as me at the same time. I am worried about re infection, is this possible? We had no unprotected sex or oral during the week of treatment and the week after

Hello and welcome to HCM.
Thanks for putting up your query over here.
There is less chance of transmission of sexually transmitted disease during protected sex.This is true in case the condom was fitted properly all throughout the act and there was no event of tearing.
But still,it is advised to refrain from sex for few days as it interferes with healing process.Mucosa becomes more prone and sensitive.Also healing process is interfered during menses.
Keep doing proper follow up with your treating doctor and discuss about this incident with the doctor.

Hope I answered your query.
Thanks.
