a. "I did practice abstinence while taking the medication."
b. "I took doxycycline two times a day for a week."
c. "I never told my boyfriend about the infection."
d. "I did drink wine when taking the medication for Chlamydia."
ANS: C

The other statements were in compliance with the recommendations of abstinence and the usual medication regimen with doxycycline. Wine should not interfere with the treatment.
