How rare is recurrence for chlamydia?

Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It is caused by a bacterium called _Chlamydia trachomatis_. Chlamydia can be treated with antibiotics, but if it is not treated, it can lead to serious health problems, including infertility and pelvic inflammatory disease.

About 10% of people who are treated for chlamydia will get it again within a year. This is why it is important to follow your doctor's instructions for treatment and to practice safe sex to avoid getting reinfected.

There are a few things that can increase your risk of getting chlamydia again:

* Having multiple sex partners

* Not using condoms consistently

* Being under the age of 25

* Having a history of chlamydia

If you think you may have chlamydia, it is important to see your doctor right away. Early diagnosis and treatment can help to prevent serious health problems.
