How Soon

Hello

I have a question. How soon after unprotected sex can you take Chlamydia antibiotics to help just in case you may have contracting it or just playing it safe. Can i take it like 2 days after sex? would the med be effective if in case i may have contracted it. Again just trying to play it safe no gurantee but just want to stop it if thats teh case... Let me know

I agree with Daisy.  Don't take any meds.  This is how bacteria becomes resistant to antibiotics.

Chlamydia can be detected on a test within a few days.

You have posted in many forums about possible stds.   Your most recent show that you had a condom break and you pulled out immediately.  If that's the case, you don't need to worry about anything.  The chances you got anything are really low.

You seem to have an anxiety about stds.  I'm not sure why this is, but perhaps its something you need to talk about with a counselor.  In the meantime, you might want to avoid having sex if every time you do, you get so worried.

You seem to have settled for Chlamydia for some reason which I find strange,you are at risk of contracting several STD's via unprotected sex therefore you have no way of knowing which if any you might have contracted,some STD's present no symptoms at all or are so mild they are dismissed as somethng else.  
To treat yourself on the presumtion that you have Chlamydia alone would be silly so the best advice I can give is pop down to your Clinic and get tested for everything.
Don't put yourself at risk in future

If you are in doubt about having contracted an STD then your best bet is to be tested at a Gum/Std Clinic it could be that you take meds for what you think you might have and be totally wrong,leave this stuff to the experts and get tested that way IF you have contracted anything you will be treated accordingly ..... don't try to self diagnose these things.
Unprotected sex has the potential to transmit different types of STD's

Get tested and play safe in future
