Had chlamydia for a long time without noticing... kinda worried..please help.

I'm male and I went to the health clinic less than a week ago to get a STD screening. They said that I probably had an NGU, so they gave me an antibiotic... it was either zitromax or zithromax, it was red and they gave me two pills to take at once.. and they said that one dose of it would cure whatever it was that I might have. I couldn't tell before, but now, after the antibiotic went through my system I feel ALOT better. After going through the types of NGUs I think I had Chlamydia. I must have had it for almost two years though, so I was wondering if I should worry about any side effects caused from having Chlamydia that long? And what those side effects might be? .. Also, just in case... an antibiotic like the one I took would treat oral Chlamydia at the same time too right?... sorry for asking so much at once, but I was also worried about it coming back.. once I’m treated it won't come back unless I have sex with an infected person again right?

Yes, the zithromax will cure it, and you won't get it back unless you are re-exposed.
Men don't generally have the same effects on fertility, etc., as women do, but that is a possibility.
Chlamydia isn't an oral infection, so you don't need to worry about that part.

Unless of course, you want new underwear and this is a good excuse to buy some. :)
