What if my boyfriend tests negative for chlamydia but mine is positive?
29-year-old woman
I tested positive for chlamydia. Is my boyfriend automatically infected? Or could he test negative?

Hello Ms., thank you for your question!
Since you have an established diagnosis, it is not recommended that your partner be screened. He will be treated right away.

Hello, thank you for your answer. How do I get a prescription for him? Does he need to call his family doctor so that he can prescribe it? because at my pharmacy, they just wanted to give me a dose for me (the 4 pills) but not for my partner

Your partner will need to contact his or her doctor or a physician. The doctor who prescribed the treatment for you may also issue a prescription for your partner under certain conditions.

Great! And then, do I have to go back for a test in the next few weeks? or is it not necessary because of the treatment?

Unless treatment has failed (symptoms persist), there is no need for further screening.
