I’ve had chlamydia before, have been treated re tested and was clear. I then had sex again protected this time. I’ve been tested and my results came back positive. How is it possible to keep getting chlamydia when I take my treatment correctly and have protected sex?

Chlamydia
So was this sexual contact the only sexual contact since your last chlamydia test ? Is this sex with the same partner as before or a new one ?
How long did you wait before you was tested again?
If you've been treated and had a clear test in between it has to be a re-infection.
You are certainly unlucky because condoms are very effective at preventing transmission of Chlamydia. Was there any occasion where the condom broke or came off?
I read that you are supposed to wait 3 months between tests. Or maybe you didn't knock it out?
You feeling alright now?
From what I understand once you get it you carry it forever. Meaning it won’t do any harm to u but ur TIDER will always read that u are from that point on a carrier and can potentially pass it to someone else
Like I said is just my own understanding of my own situation
Theres a few reasons this could happen. most likely is the meds didn't work fully and u got tested too soon after treatment, but the condom could’ve broke, a little fluids got outside of it (unlikely but it happens), or there was other sexual contact (saliva and stuff is possible!!)
