Treatment Prescriptions may include Tetracyclines, Doxycycline, Azithromycin, Erythromycin, and Amoxycillin. All sexual contacts should be screened for chlamydia. Sexual partners must be treated to prevent passing the infection back and forth between them, even though both may not have symptoms. There is no immunity following the infection and a person may become repeatedly infected. A follow-up evaluation should be done in three to four weeks to determine if the infection has been cured.
Antibiotic treatment is usually successful.
Re-infection may occur if compliance with therapy is not good, or if both sexual partners are not treated. Approximately one in five women who develop PID will become infertile. Calling Your GP Call your GP if symptoms indicate a chlamydia infection may be present. Because the majority of infections do not cause symptoms, people who engage in any high-risk sexual behaviour should be screened periodically for chlamydia. Sexually Transmitted Disease clinics are widely available for diagnosis and treatment.
