If you have chlamydia and you and your partner take the medicine and have sex right after what will happen? Will the medicine work or not?

Chlamydia, pronounced kluh MIHD ee uh, is the name commonly given to a widespread sexually transmitted disease. The disease is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. Doctors often call this disease nongonococcal urethritis or nonspecific urethritis.

The chlamydia bacterium lives only in human beings and is spread from person to person, chiefly through intimate sexual contact. In the United States, chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases. It strikes at least 4 million Americans each year.

The chlamydia germ can infect many parts of the body, including the sex organs, rectum, and throat. Symptoms of the infection resemble those of gonorrhea. In men, symptoms appear about 7 to 21 days after infection. Most infected men develop a white or colorless discharge from the penis, accompanied by painful urination. The symptoms may go unnoticed, and they usually disappear after several months. But if the infection goes untreated, the patient may infect other people.

In women, chlamydia infection frequently goes unrecognized. Less than a third of infected women develop a vaginal discharge, and many have no symptoms. However, the consequences of untreated infection in women can be especially severe. The chlamydia germ can spread through the uterus and into the fallopian tubes, causing pelvic inflammatory disease, a condition that may result in sterility or death (see PELVIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASE). Pregnant women who have chlamydia can transmit it to their babies during delivery. The germ may infect the baby's lungs, causing pneumonia, and the eyes, causing conjunctivitis (see CONJUNCTIVITIS).

In some developing countries, certain varieties of C. trachomatis can infect the eyes, especially in children. These germs are spread by close nonsexual contact and perhaps by flies. People infected in this way may develop trachoma, which can lead to blindness (see TRACHOMA).

Chlamydia infection is difficult to diagnose. Doctors often assume a patient has chlamydia if symptoms are present and gonorrhea infection cannot be confirmed. Doctors treat chlamydia infection with tetracycline or other antibiotics. Treatment is most effective when given early in the disease. Strategies for avoiding the infection include using condoms or other protective measures during intimate sexual contact.

health.yahoo.com › Sexual Health & STDs

I found this site.

It indictates you should not have sex until the course of treatment is complete or use a condom in the mean time.

Maybe you are. I don't know. But, for the medication to be completely effective and for you to get rid of the STD, you must abstain from sex of any form until the entire round of antibiotics is finished and you get a clean bill of health from your doctor.

I'm only wondering because we both took the pills.. and he like basically made me have sex with him.. hours later.. will the meds not work now or what.. and if I go get more today can I take them right awayy?

What "pills" were you on? The antibiotics are usually a treatment lasting as long as 10 days.

Was the medicine given to you by a doctor?

If you have sex without curing the STD you are just going to pass it back and forth and not get rid of it. Left untreated can cause you infertility.

Then he is raping you. No means NO!

Looks like another visit to the doctor is in order.

mami_to0_blazin · Nov 25, 2009, 07:07 AM

So if I go today and get more pills can I take them as soon as I get them or will it hurt me?

Talk to the doctor and give him/her ALL the information.

J-9 has made a very good point is saying no means no! Try and take that on board and stand up for your health and well being.

You will need to discuss this with your doctor. Since you did not listen to his original instructions... refrain from sex until the test is clear, you may be put on a longer course of antibiotics.
