If you're still getting a positive result then you need to be treated again. And until you get a negative you should avoid unprotected sex (condoms should be ok) as there is a risk of transmitting to your partner and in men Chlamydia can be asymptomatic. Remember to take probiotics after you finish the antibiotic course and you could also apply some kefir to your groin area after bathing (maybe try every day for a couple of weeks) and this will help the genital area to repopulate with its natural bacteria too.

Untreated pelvic infections can and do make women infertile, so do persist until you get a negative test result.

Yes you re-tested too early. Should ideally be 5 weeks post treatment
