It’s often called a “silent' infection for a reason.
, which is a virus and can live in your nerve roots and reappear, chlamydia doesn’t do that, but it can be present for a long period of time,” Dr. Soper says. “If you treat it effectively, it doesn’t come back unless you get exposed again.” And don’t forget to inform your partner if you’ve been infected. After all, wouldn’t you want your partner to let you know? It’s the responsible thing to do.
It’s also a good idea to get retested in three months, Dr. Reno says, as you are at an increased risk of another STI. But not for the reasons you might think. Chlamydia doesn’t actually make you more prone to getting another STI, Dr. Grifo says, but rather the person or people you’re having sex with could have multiple exposures to STIs that then put you at risk, including someone you may think is monogamous.
And don’t feel embarrassed or guilty if you do have chlamydia. “There is a sense of shame around sexually transmitted diseases,” Dr. Grifo says. “Well, what’s the shame? You had sex. People have sex all the time.” You treat it and move on with your life.
