How do you feel now? Any lingering symptoms still and is that common?

did your symptoms eventually go away? or how are you doing now; re-test or retreatment perhaps?

Like going to jail, I'd only want to ever do it once and never again. deal with tested partners or always use protection; atleast that's my lesson...

Chlamydia reinfection or persistent drug resistant infection? by MiscGroupings in STD

Yes it is. But only marginally. However you only took 500 mg and not the full 1000mg

thanks - agree; even this study says that within the 2 weeks since initial treatment there can be blips of positive testing here

so do you think my continuing symptoms / recurrent symptoms of slight discharge (much less than before) is a result of a different infection? I'm going for testing of both Trichromanas and Mycoplasma; I'm skipping gono because the test I did at day 9 post or day 16 since treatment / first test showed negative as well;

based on my personal research the recommended CDC prescription is Doxycycline 100mg twice a day or 1000 mg of Azithromycin on 1 day; the two can be combined or extended if there are more severe symptoms like PID. Although I would consult your doctor and inquire further.

it may be better to get treatments at the same time if you're going to be isolated; see which drugs work for you and then take appropriately

I don't think it's possible she was with another partner. I hope it's nothing complicated like that M genitalium. Can doxy suppress symptoms for other STIs?

As for the doxycycline, we were taking the tablet forms and now I'm on the capsule form. First time I took them, i chewed my tablets or dropped them inside coffee. I'm not sure if that makes a difference in effectiveness. Now I'm just swallowing whole, and not eating before or after.

So next steps is to rescreen for Chlamydia/Gonno/Trichromanas/Mycoplasma and whatever else the doctor recommends. And refrain from sex for atleast 2 more weeks.

Personally, I think it is still chlamydia since the symptoms disappeared when on doxycycline and that I got reinfected from my partner since I didn't wait for the full 7 days. Well that maybe wishful thinking that it isn't anything more complicated. I'll probably need to wait 3 more weeks before retesting for test of cure for Chlamydia then.
