Condom's are not 100% for one thing. Another is that most people irresponsible enough to get something like a sexually transmitted disease is usually irresponsible enough to spread it on to their next unsuspecting partners. Plus your 'chlamydia' sharing partner may not be cured yet either or may be giving it back. If you insist upon having sex then use a condom and make sure your partner knows you're infected. Good luck.



Edit: That's not true. Chalmydia can linger. Hence why you go back for another test to make sure it's gone.
