Dear user
The CDC usually recommends the regimens for treating chlamydia infection with Doxycycline 100 mg by mouth twice daily for 7 days.
Abdication from sexual intercourse is recommended during treatment and for 7 more days following the last day of antibiotic treatment.
Based on your introduction, I strongly suggest that your boyfriend should be checked for chlamydia infection.
Good luck!
