    Chlamydia treatment for patients in New York

    If you have tested positive for chlamydia, or a partner has, treatment should not wait for an appointment. Patients in New York submit a secure request, and a clinician licensed in New York decides whether antibiotics are appropriate.

    Every clinician who reviews a New York request holds an active license issued by the New York State Education Department Office of the Professions, and your request is only routed to a clinician licensed in New York.

    If a prescription is appropriate, it is sent electronically to the New York pharmacy you choose, whether that is a chain, a supermarket pharmacy or an independent near you. Medication is billed by the pharmacy, not by Plunge Care.

    Care is available today in Texas, Florida, Arizona, New Mexico, Maryland and New York. Your request is only routed to a clinician licensed in the state you are in.

    Partner care and follow-up

    Overview

    Chlamydia is the most commonly reported bacterial STI. It often has no symptoms but can be easily treated with antibiotics. Early treatment prevents complications.

    Treatment

    Chlamydia is typically treated with doxycycline (100 mg twice daily for 7 days) or a single dose of azithromycin (1 g). Partners should also be treated.

    Testing

    Testing involves a urine sample or swab. Retesting is recommended 3 months after treatment to check for reinfection.
