I was diagnosed with chlamydia and given doxycycline for 2 weeks. It has now been 2 weeks since I completed my treatment. How soon can I go back for test of cure? I want to avoid a false positive. Also will I always have chlamydia antibodies in my blood? How long does it take for the antibodies in the blood to disappear? The initial test was a blood test.

First information given by you is vague incomplete. Chlamydia infect eyes also and genitals alos which one you had and regarding your question serology test for chlamydia is not recommended. And not standardized. In one study it says that chlamydia antibody igg remain for years but it declines over time naat like pcr from sample like urine or swab is done.
