Is Chlamydia a Lifetime STD?

No. Antibiotics can effectively cure chlamydia. ¹ However, it is not uncommon for individuals to experience repeat infections due to failure of antibiotic therapy or unprotected physical contact with either an untreated existing partner or a new infected partner. ²

Although treatment can effectively cure the infection, it cannot undo any long-term damage caused by the infection. So, an individual should be re-evaluated by the healthcare provider if the symptoms still persist after the treatment. It is also important to avoid physical contact until the given treatment is completed and no symptoms are seen. ³

If you’re concerned about being infected with chlamydia, it is advised to seek medical attention. You can also get tested from home with LifeCell’s Chlamydia and Gonorrhea test kit. It is a very simple and easy-to-use kit to monitor your sexual health.
