It's very effective provided the course is taken properly. There aren't any doxycycline resistant chlamydia bugs.

It is possible to get a false positive result for up to 6 weeks after treatment, so if this is the case then you shouldn't be worried just get tested again after the 6 weeks is up. There was also an MSV strain of Chlamydia going around last year which is more resistant to antibiotics and required 3 weeks of treatment instead of one but still not anything you should be seriously worried about.
