Hi nurse,
I got 1wk supply of doxycycline at the clinic for chlamydia. I finished the pills but still feel little symptom. Is that enough to cure it 100% or should I get re-tested and ask for more doxy. If so, how long should I wait until re-testing. Thks.

Hi james51788

If you have taken Doxycycline 100mg, twice a day for 7 days that will be enough to take care of chlamydia.

The testing is so sensitive today that they recommend that you do not retest until 4 weeks after you finished the medication. If you test before 4 weeks there is a chance of a false positive result due to the presence of non-viable organisms.

Chlamydia can make the urethra (pee tube) swell up and even after all the chlamydia is destroyed it can take awhile for the swelling to go down. I would recommend that you wait for a week after you finished taking your medication. If after this time you still have the same symptoms I would go back to the clinic.

If symptoms get really bad quickly or you think you have untreated chlamydia go back to the clinic ASAP. You may still have chlamydia if:

(1) Didn’t take all the medication.
(2) Had sex with a partner who has not been treated.
(3) Had sex with a new partner who has not been tested.

As most people do not have symptoms of chlamydia it is easy to pass it to a partner and get it back again before they take their medication.
