Hello, i would like to ask question regarding chlamydia. First of all, i'm a man. So about a year ago (july 2015), i got infected by my sexual partner at that time because i had unprotected vaginal sex. The symptoms were: burning sensation once inawhile and also some white fluid discharge from the tip of the penis.the next morning after i got my first white fluid discharge, i went straight to doctor to get treatment. my doctor at that time prescribed me 2 pills. i forgot the name of the drug but basically each was 500mg, and i consumed the pills at the same time after breakfast. Long story short, the white fluid discharge and the burning sensation never happened again.
However, i am a paranoid guy, and I wanted to make sure i did not have the disease anymore. I came back to the same doctor and asked her question about chlamydia testing and she said there's no chlamydia lab tests. She said if the white fluid never came out again from my penis, that means i'm already cured. She said it's not possible if the medicine only "cured" the symptom but not kill the bacteria. She told me if the bacteria is resistant to the medicine, the symptoms should have never stopped at all. I just believed her at that time and moved on. Later on i got HIV and syphilis blood test after 3 months and they came back negative. I fully moved on after the test.
But suddenly, my paranoia hit me again yesterday. I tried to do a bit of research about chlamydia, and apparently according to CDC.gov, it's actually possible to get chlamydia testing. CDC.gov also mentioned there are a lot of people who actually have chlamydia but never had symptom, which worried me even more. So I went to visit another doctor today and asked him the same questions I asked my previous doctor last year. This doctor told me the same answer. He said there's no chlamydia lab test for men, only for women, and that test for women is also an expensive test, because it's not a blood test. I asked him if it's possible to check my chlamydia (or gonorrhea) with urine test, and he said it's not accurate.
basically, this doctor I visited today gave me the same answer with the doctor I visited last year. both of them believe the only way for them to diagnose chlamydia and gonorrhea is through symptoms. if the symptoms disappear, that means i'm cured. as simple as that. i have doubts about their answer because internet resource proved there are people with chlamydia but no symptom. My question is, how do I know I'm 100% cured?
