Can i get Chlamydia this way

Me and my boyfriend had Chlamydia around february this year. We both got treated and was told to wait 7 days before having intercourse. Well we ended up having intercourse the same day of treatment and everyday after that. Now, 7 months later i have Chlamydia again. I havent slept around on my boyfriend and neither has he. He is determined ive cheated no matter what i say. How likely is it that the treatment didn't work in the beginning???

I totally agree with Iain. If you had sex the day you got treatment, you weren't cured yet, and have just been passing this back and forth.

Both of you should get treatment now, and do not have sex for at least 7 days. Untreated chlamydia can cause damage to you especially, so this is really important.

And yes, definitely show this to your boyfriend.

Very likely. Have I got it correct that you.had unprotected sex on the day you started taking treatment and every day whilst you were on the treatment?? If the sex was unprotected then of course the treatment wouldn't work, why would it?? You can show your boyfriend this. Yes, the infection would absolutely keep going back and forth between you!

Did you ever test that you were cured? If not then I'd bet my mortgage that the infection has just bounced back and forth between you. If the sex was unprotected that is
