| Untreated chlamydia can have devastating effects. Getting tested and getting treatment if you are infected is the only way to make sure you're healthy. The good news about chlamydia (and gonorrhea and trichomoniasis) is that it is extremely easy to cure. Treatment should begin as soon as possible after you discover that you have chlamydia. | ||
| There are several medicines for treating chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis. Your doctor will give you specific directions on how to take them. | ||
| If you are infected with chlamydia, your sexual partner or partners should be contacted to get treatment to reduce your risk of reinfection and your partner's risk of long-term health problems. Your most recent sex partner should be treated even if the last sexual contact occurred more than 60 days ago. | ||
