Hi poster

treated did work last time you have prob benn infected again. Did doc not advise that you not have sex for 1 week while taking treatment or you will be infected again or if you have sex with someone else you mey infect them clamidyia is serious for females as this can cause infertility so has to be treated and kept at bay. Please take the advice of the other posters as well as other conceception please please please use condom you can get them free as some clinics and it saves a lot of heartache and also be choosy who you have sex with as you could end up with more serious infections that cannot be treated.

take care

petina1 agony auntAlso before you finish with him altogether he needs to inform all the girls he has been with because now they all have it. STD's can stop you having babies in the future if they are left untreated. Next time you start a relationship it is always best to wear a condom, this prevents STD's and other serious diseases entering your body. hope this helps.

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

I just want to thank everyone. We both got treated at the same time so it does look like he has been cheating. Thanks again.

I take it that both you and your partner were treated last year for Chlamydia? If not then he has just re-infected you. If you were both treated and you have contracted it again, then I suspect that your boyfriend has had sex with an infected person and you are the lucky recipient of the STD. Go back to your doctor for treatment and make sure your boyfriend gets treatment as well then both go for a check up to make sure you are both in the clear.

Boredatwork agony auntSorry I hate to say this, but One of you is most likly cheating! and the fact that your asking this question its probably not you.

If you partnet asking questions asw ell, or is he just brushing it aside, saying that the treatment must have not worked?

Are/were you suffering from symptioms? If so how long have you had them, if it wasnt cured last time, you would have had symptioms since then (the last year). Ofc not everyone gets symptioms... but they dont come and go for people... you either have them or not.

You really need to question if you want to go back to having sex with this person, as its very possible your not the only person there having sex with. Using a condom would be very recommended, what to say next time they wont give you somthing worse?

Safe sex should be in a solid, faithful relationship only. Or you are putting yourself at risk.

IF you are using a condom, then i see no reason why you cant go back to having sex straight away, as it will stop the infection form passing on, but leave it 7 days just to be sure.
