Brief Answer:
Regarding chlamydia

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.

Was it protected sex or was it unprotected? What sort of sex it was? In any case, if the partner has been diagnosed it is advisable to treat all contacts with oral antibiotics e.g doxycycline 100mg, twice daily for a week or with a single dose of 1gm of Azithromycin.

Hope to assist you further. Take care.
