Chlamydia
Why are women less likely to spread chlamydia to a man, but men way more likely to spread it to a woman?
Vaginal area itching is often due to yeast -- which often is a side effect of antibotics. And chlamydia generally doesn't cause itching. Yeast is a more likely explanation than persistent chlamydia. I suggest you return to the doctor or clinic where your chlamydial infection was treated.
Hello, 3 weeks ago I tested positive for chlamydia, I took 2 gram and got tested 3 days later and it came back negative, I also had bacterial vaginosis. I haven't had sex since I found out and was cured, but I'm experiencing mild itching in my vagina again. Nothing really bad but now I'm extra cautious the second something feels weird. I'm just wondering could I have gotten a false negative? I'm just really worried and frustrated.

I apologize, I didn't mean to send that twice, that was rude. I appreciate you answering me. Thank you so much.
Patience, patience. A little internet courtesy would be appreciated. This is a community forum of volunteers. Nobody is on call 24/7, especially for non-urgent questions like these.
And no, false positives are very rare. Your positive result means you are infected.

Thank you so much, also one more question.... Is it possible to get a false positive for a vaginal swab test, when it came back saying I had chlamydia?
Chlamydia is somewhat more likely to be transmitted male to female then the reverse, but not "much more likely". The same applies to most STDs, including gonorrhea, trichomonas, herpes, syphilis,and, most important, each HIV. The reasons are simple and obvious: I deposited deep inside a woman's body, not the case for men; and women's genitals offer a bigger surface area of moist tissues that are especially susceptible to HSV, HPV, and syphilis.
