Contraception and VD/Chlamydia

Question
Hello Dr.,
  
 My name is John and I have chlamydia. I have not been diagnosed by a
doctor; however I have tested positive for this three times before...
and the symptoms are here again. I was with my girlfriend for 3 years in
which it was her that infected me each time. I am no longer with her
however I know that she infected me one last time before we broke up as
all my symtoms have returned. I no longer have health insurance and is
extremely tight for money at the time so I cannot go to the doctors.
  
 Q: Is it illegal to by Azithromycin or Docycycline from canadian
pharmacy's online and have them shipped to my home in Virginia America ?
  
 Q: Do you know of this chlamydia cream that actually works and treats
chlamydia... and would you recommend it?  www.chlamydia-cream.com
  
 Thank You,
 John  

Answer
Hi John,

I noticed you addressed me as DR. and I am not one. I always have to give notice that I am not a medical doctor and recommend that you do see a physician for medical treatment. However, I did some research and did find out that it is illegal to order drugs from Canada. Here is the link I found:
http://www.aarp.org/bulletin/prescription/a2004-08-02-rxcanada.html
Also, I did find a link about chlamydia as well.
http://www.cdc.gov
then find chlamydia
Like I said, I'm not a medical expert but I'm not really sure about the cream you mentioned. It looked a little suspicious to me. I'm a little bit skeptical about some of the sites online.
That's really all I can recommend right now. Is there a free medical clinic in your area? Look for some resources for free or low-cost. Hope you get treated. Oh, and please think about practicing abstinence to avoid serious problems like this.

Sincerely,
Diane W.
