Chlamydia Reinfection: Risks & Prevention After Treatment

Yes.

Once someone has been treated for chlamydia, it is possible for them to get reinfected with the bacteria if they have unprotected sex with an infected partner. This can happen even if the partner has been treated for chlamydia in the past.

It is important to take precautions to avoid reinfection with chlamydia, such as using condoms during sex and avoiding sex with people who have symptoms of the infection. If you are concerned that you may have been reinfected with chlamydia, it is important to see a healthcare provider for testing and treatment.
