The diarrhea was probably from the Azithromycin. Sure it could have been the associated CoVID infection but I doubt it. Azithromycin is not a common antibiotic that induces Cdiff infection so less likely.
Crushed Medication
You can cut it in half to make it more tolerable.
Can I get rabies from bodily fluids on car (if any) after running over dead raccon?
Rabies transmission without a bite or a scratch from a rabies infected animal is uncommon.
Blood exposure
Risk of transmission of HIV in this manner would be extremely low.
Chlamydia Testing
False positive Chlamydia test results occur <1% of the time. Thus I would not disregard the positive test. A test can be positive for up to 3-4 weeks after treatment, but I can’t say that a negative test after 5 days of treatment makes the first one a false positive. Complete the course of antibiotics. Be cautious of the sexual relations of your partner.
