Shall I Extend The Period Of Therapy Of Taking Vibramyacin For Ureaplasma Infection?

Hi, I have a persistent ureaplasma infection. It does not test positive in culture but I have transmitted it to my partner. I already had some cycles of therapy with vibramycin and 2 times 1g of azithromycin. I am now taking vibramycin for over 20 days and I was suggested after that to take rulid for 10 days. Shall I extend the period of the therapy?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
This is a sexually transmitted disease which can be transmitted from either sexual partners.You have all the potential to transmit this infection to your partner.
As you have taken the medicines for the treatment of the infection by this treatment most of the infection would have comedown, as you have tested for the urine culture of the ureaplasma and turns to be negative, no need to continue the treatment for you.
I would suggest you that your partner should also take treatment for this infection and avoid sexual contact until the infection is completely subsided.
Thank you.
