Chlamydia infection
I first slept with my partner on 7th January and 10 weeks later he started having symptoms for chlamydia. I read online that symptoms should show after 1-3 weeks. I know that we have both been faithful and we are not sure which one of us was infected to begin with but we took the tablets to remove the infection.. so how could this happen? Could chlamydia lay dormant? Thanks

Its good that you are aware of such sexually transmitted infections but what i would suggest is don't come to a diagnosis just by reading the symptoms online and rather get yourself tested if you are facing such issues. Also, chlamydia is treatable and yes initially it present itself through mild symptoms.
Health Tips
Till the time u are cured, use barrier method of contraception to avoid transmission.
