If one partner has chlamydia it's usually a good idea to have the other partner treated as well, as a precaution (it's the same with gonorrhea).
Since these STDs can be passed back and forth, if one person gets treated and the other doesn't, then there is a possibility that it will continue to be spread back and forth. If both partners get treated though, then it kills the bacteria and eliminates the possibility of spreading it back and forth.
All sex partners should be evaluated, tested, and treated. Persons with chlamydia should abstain from sexual intercourse until they and their sex partners have completed treatment, otherwise re-infection is possible.
Good luck!

When you give your urine sample, it's the first part of the urine that tests strongest and sometimes wrong results can be given because of this. My friend tested positive and her boyfriend tested negative and he thought he was amazing for being clear but it turned out a wrong reading because of the urine sample given. (this is what the dr said can happen) He was tested again and came up positive. The chances of you not having it, even if you have only had unprotected sex once, is one in a million. I'd get retested. Theres no harm in takin the med, you don't want to unknowingly reinfect your girlfriend.

If you can get it prescribed, then sure, better safe then sorry. The worst it can do is get rid of other infections you may have. Truth is, tests arent always 100% accurate, with false positives and false negatives. Be safe. Plus, you might as well, I mean, you got tested for it in the first place, so you must be sure you had something/

No you should not. He never got tested even though he knew there was a possibility, but he just decided to guess and say he didn't have any STD'S, however he decided to just go ahead and say he was clean. So basically he lied to you, so no you should not get back with him.

~Chlamydia is VD. If you and your girlfriend are having intercourse, you have it too. Listen to the doctor and take the medication.
If you don't take the medication, you'll have to go back to the doctor and both of you will have to take the medication again. Does that sound like fun?~

You should both take the complete regiment of antibiotics and hold off on sex until you are both clean to avoid re-infection.

yes. keep in mind you should use a condom and reframe from oral and anal sex as well. If not treated properly, your girlfriend is at a greater risk for HIV and/or damage to reproductive organs.

What does YOUR doctor say????
S&^$$$ your girlfriend's doctor.She doesn't know you,who you are or what your medical history is.
See your OWN doctor, or make an appt with hers, and her doctor, as a patient.
