Treatments Your Physician May Prescribe
A test will be done on the urine (in men) or from fluid from the penis or cervix.

If the test is positive, treatment will be prescribed with oral antibiotics (usually azithromycin or doxycycline). All sexual partners should also be tested and treated if positive. If a partner is infected and not treated, re-infection is common. 

Persons with infection should not have sexual intercourse until 1 week after treatment is finished in both partners.
