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. |

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. |
