How To Treat Chlamydia Infection?

My last relationship was with a man who was a swinger. He is claiming that he didn't contract Chlamydia, but I had the infection. How is it that he didn't have the infection like he claims when the sex between him and I was always unprotected? Also, he was pressuring me to smoke meth, I don't think meth smoking alone can cause the infection?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

Occurrence of sexually transmitted disease like chlymadia in individuals is all about chance nothing can be told for sure that it will definitely happen or not happen.

It will all depend on various other factors.In your case, as you happened to have an unprotected sex, there are chances of you getting the infection.

Chlamydia is treated by either doxycycline 100 mg two times a day or azithromycin 1gm single dose.

During the week of treatment please avoid sexual intercourse to get away of the cross infection to the partner. Partner also given the same treatment for same period. once both of you are cured, you can resume with sexual activity.
Thank you.
