sorry for another post on chlamydia, but i figured if i add on to an existing post it wouldnt get responded to...

so i think i have it....i read up the symptoms, went in for a check up today, and they said i have an infection which is probably chlamyida but they wouldnt be sure for a week or two....

then the docs gave me 4 pink pills and told me to abstain from sex and alcohol for a week....i can understand the alcohol part, but i dont get the sex....is it becuz i'll infect other people or does it actually affect the effectiveness of the drug? i read in a pamphlet that u can have sex, just make sure u use a condom....anyone have a concrete answer?

i also asked if i could smoke marijuana since i wouldnt be able to drink...the doctor stuttered and gave me a very shaky no....should i believe him (i cant see how it would affect the pills) or do u think it mite have been office policy not to promote drug usage? i also smoke cigarettes (yes, i know im a substance abuser), does that affect the treatment?

thanks for your time in advance....

Hummm.... when I was treated for clamydia I wasn't told to abstain from anything but sex. But they said no sex for 2 weeks, not even with condoms. Longest 2 weeks of my life! I'm cured though. Sorry, wish I could be more help.

You use drugs and smoke tobacco products and you are worried about abstaining from sex for a week????

Well, no, there is really no reason you can't have protected sex, but lay off the drugs.

thank you for replying....much appreciated...

thats dope...so i can still have sex but i cant do drugs....so im guessing that weed has the same effect on antibiotics as alcohol does? hmmm...wonder how that works....i remember someone telling me tho that weed weakens ur immune system....smoking i dont think i can stop....i've been addicted for a decade now.....

sucks tho...today is 420 and i have to stay sober....

oh yea, also, can a person contract chlamydia thru oral sex?

ps- i totally predicted that someone would use the
