Chlamydia treatment failure, or what?
So here's the deal-- I've been with my boyfriend for a year and a half now and we have been completely monogamous. In June I went to the health clinic for a pap smear in preparation for getting an IUD and found out I have chlamydia. My boyfriend and I talked about it and we don't know where it came from, since we both had unprotected sex with our previous partners, but we decided not to worry about it and just get it treated. We each went to the clinic on the same day and were given Zithromax and waited at least 7 days (I remember us waiting longer than that but my boyfriend says it was only 7 days). I got a depo-provera shot and my IUD insertion was rescheduled for yesterday, August 2nd. When I went in, my nurse did a wet mount test to see if my white blood cell count was normal so she could know if it was safe to put in the IUD. When she looked at it, there were a ton of white blood cells, meaning I have some kind of infection that she assumes is chlamydia. She gave me and my boyfriend Doxycycline which we must take for a week.
So, any ideas as to what's going on here? I have a million questions, but I was too upset to think of them in the nurse's office and she's really hard to get in touch with on the phone so it would be pointless to call her. Have I been reinfected? Can chlamydia live on hard plastic vibrators or silicone dildos that have been cleaned with soap and water, or in a fleshlight? I know that I did not use my toys during the week after being treated, but I don't know if my boyfriend used his fleshlight or not. Could the white blood cells be from something else, like bacterial vaginosis? I haven't had any symptoms of anything -- no discharge, smell, pain, etc. My boyfriend and I had condomless vaginal sex the night before, could that have raised my white blood cell count? Is it possible the Zithromax failed? Please help!!

Treatment failure is unlikely, probably something else. Not sure what but don't see this as a STD issue anymore.
Hi sc1989,
You have taken 2 types of antibiotics (Zithromax and Doxycycline). Therefore, your chlamydia have been fully treated.
The second test which there are high white blood cells do suggest of infection. However, they cannot prove of chlamydia infection. Anyway, you have been treated.
No worries.
