Yes, chlamydia is treatable. It is important to start with medications as soon as possible in order to avoid further complications. Antibiotics can easily cure chlamydia, regardless of whether or not a person also has HIV. Treatment requires either a single-dose or a seven-day course of antibiotics, and it is important to take all medications prescribed to ensure the infection is cured. Additionally, patients should abstain from sex until their symptoms are gone, and the treatment is complete, as this helps prevent the spreading of the infection to sex partners. However, treatment will not repair any long-term damage done by the disease. If symptoms continue for more than a few days after receiving treatment, a healthcare provider should be consulted.
