Diarrhea and medication
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. READ MORE

Chlamydia Testing
False positive Chlamydia test results occur <1% of the time. Thus I would not disregard the positive test.

Be cautious of the sexual relations of your partner. READ MORE
