How long should I wait after chlamydia treatment to have sex?

It is recommended that you wait 7 days after you take your last medication before having sex again.

Your treatment is likely an antibiotic, doxycycline, which you will take over 7 days. Once these 7 days are over, you should wait another 7 days before having sex so that the medications can fully take effect and you are not reinfecting your partner(s) or yourself. If you cannot wait for this, please use protection (e.g., condoms) as a barrier to prevent spreading the infection during any kind of sexual activity (oral, anal, vaginal). Even after these 7 days, it is still recommended to prevent future STIs by using protections!
