When do you get chlamydia treatment?

In early 2025, the GGD implemented a new chlamydia testing policy: if you have no symptoms, then testing for chlamydia is not recommended. If you do have chlamydia symptoms, then it's advisable to get tested. 

What is the treatment for chlamydia?

Chlamydia is treated with a course of antibiotic tablets. How does it work? Chlamydia is an STI caused by a bacterium called Chlamydia trachomatis. Antibiotics stop the bacteria from growing or surviving, so they eventually die. Your body then clears out the bacteria. The antibiotics remain active in the body for a while, so the effectiveness of chlamydia treatment is very high. Great, because you can get rid of your STI quickly!

How soon after chlamydia treatment can you have sex?

The sooner you're treated, the better. It's important not to have any sexual contact with others or with yourself for at least 7 days after taking pills for chlamydia treatment. This is because you need to give the infected area a chance to settle down and you can still pass on chlamydia to others in the time shortly after treatment.
