What Are The Chances Of Recurrence Of Chlamydia After Treatment?
Months ago my partner infected me with Chlamydia, I got treated and so did he. While in the treatment we didn't have sex, we even waited a month just in case. I did got my follow up and was clean from the virus. However, my partner hasn't had his because of work and other circumstances. Is there a possibility of re-infection even if he finished his treatment and we waited over a month to have sex?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
If your boy friend successfully completed his course of medicine without any default, and he sticks to you alone as his sex partner, then there is very less chance for a relapse. Irregular treatment and delayed completion would not assure you that you are safe from a re-infection.
