After taking Azithromycin for chlamydia, how long do you wait before having sex again? Is it ok to have protected sex within that timeframe?

This is the golden question. I was told 2weeks at the STD clinic.  I have done the cardnal sin and did not wait and had protected sex before the 2weeks was up and symptoms returned.

My meds were all taken on day 1.  That's why I was wondering how long after that I have to wait.  It sounds like somewhere between 1 and 2 weeks????

You should wait until you finish all of your meds before engaging in sex.  It wouldn't hurt to wait another full week after your meds are completed just to be on the safe side.

Wait AT LEAST 7 days to have any type of sex, including oral and vaginal.  If you can wait 2 weeks just to be sure. DO NOT have any sex meanwhile, whether it be with or without a condom!
