I had unprotected sex with a girl over the weekend who told me the following morning she may have chlamydia. I went on Monday and got tested and treated. If I was infected, would that cure it before symptoms showed? I received treatment about 36 hours after exposure

Hi..
Thanks for the query..
Chlamydia can become symptomatic within 2-3 weeks while at times it can not produce any symptoms and remain in sub-clinical state..
So my suggestion is to get a proper clinical examination done and investigations like urine culture and urethral swab culture can help in confirmation..
Nucleic acid amplification tests can be done..
Hope this helps.,
Regards..
Hi..
As far as treatment is concerned if the infection is confirmed then antibiotics can be advised like Azithromycin..
Also get it confirmed that the female partner has Chlamydia..
Hope this helps..
