    If you don't have symptoms you won't get tested. Can you carry it forever and never show symptoms and just spread ir?

      I’m not sure about forever, but certainly you can carry it for a while - up to 2 years in some cases. You are quite right, people don’t think to get tested which is why it’s important to know that chlamydia can be silent - hopefully it will prompt some to do so!

      Hey Vikas, treatment options will vary depending on the site of infection and each persons circumstances. In Australia, we typically use doxycycline or azithromycin

      Hey mate, it can depend on the STI - some can be resistant to antibiotics or need at least 7 days between treatment and sex to avoid reinfection. Maybe chat with your doctor and ask them what they would recommend 👍
