Chlamydia is a bacterial infection that requires antibiotic treatment to clear. The duration for chlamydia to go away depends on the treatment regimen:

• Typically, chlamydia is treated with antibiotics either as a single dose or a course lasting 7 to 14 days, commonly doxycycline or azithromycin

• Symptoms usually begin to improve within a few days after starting antibiotics, with most symptoms resolving completely within 2 to 4 weeks

• Without treatment, chlamydia will not go away on its own and can persist for months or years, potentially causing serious complications

• After completing treatment, retesting is often recommended to confirm the infection has cleared, especially in pregnancy or if symptoms persist

In summary, with prompt and appropriate antibiotic treatment, chlamydia typically clears within 2 to 4 weeks. Avoid sexual activity until treatment is complete and tests confirm the infection is gone to prevent reinfection
