Question : Hi I've recently have been treated for chlamydia 3 days ago but I was told to not have sex for 7 days..I was just wondering is it okay to masterbate?
Brief Answer:
Yes it is okay.

Hi
Thanks for your query at HCM.
I realize that you had taken the treatment 3 days back and yes that you must avoid sex for about a week. But the masturbation pose no problem as you do not expose a partner with the risk.
Take care
