Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I tested positive for chlamydia IgA IgG. Negative IgM. I am HIV positive but undetectable viral load and CD4 724. Recommended antibiotic? Thanks.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com. A high title of IgA and IgG antibodies to chlamydia generally indicates active infection but it is an auxiliary test and should also be supplemented by a more specific nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) on a urine sample. A NAAT test specifically detects chlamydia antigen. Do you have any symptoms such as burning sensation on passing urine or urethral discharge? I suggest Doxycycline 10 mg, twice daily for seven to 10 days or Azithromycin 0.04 oz single dose as the drug of choice for treatment of chlamydia.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
