Those experiencing chlamydia symptoms will generally see them subside within a few days of beginning a treatment regimen. And typically, a person will be completely free of the infection within a week. During your treatment, you’re advised to abstain from sexual activity just in case you are still contagious. Once some time has passed, you’ll want to test again just to confirm that you are chlamydia free. And remember, just because you’ve been cured of chlamydia once does not give you any sort of “chlamydia immunity”. It is very possible to contract chlamydia more than once in a lifetime.
