How long should I wait after chlamydia treatment (zithromax) to have sex?

Me and my partner took a dose of zithromax at Planned Parenthood and they told us to wait 7 days to have sex again. I talked to my Dr. and she told me to wait 4 weeks. If you've taken zithromax, how long did you wait to have sex again?

7 days is the correct answer- not sure why your doctor stated 4 weeks. Source(s): I am a nurse for over 21 years

You can resume sexual activity after a week, but make sure your partner took the medication or you'll definitely get reinfected. Medication such as Zithromax kill the chlamydia bacteria fairly quickly. It takes a few days for the Zithromax to be eliminated from your body. Waiting four weeks is excessive. Consider condoms...DrP
if you go to planned parent hood
you need to stop having sex
after your treatment iis over I would suggest going to your doctor again to get re-checked. then you can have sex again. and have your partner checked again becaue is he/she is a carrier you will get it right back. best of luck
a week
7 days.
