Prognosis states its not recurring in all cases... Worth the risk I reckon

Reactive arthritis may be self limiting, frequently recurring or develop continually. Most patients have severe symptoms lasting a few weeks to six months. Approximately 15 to 50 percent of cases have recurrent bouts of arthritis. Chronic arthritis or sacroiliitis occurs in 15-30 percent of cases. Repeated attacks over many years is common, and more than 40 percent of the patients end up with chronic and disabling arthritis, heart disease, diabetes or impaired vision. However, most people with reactive arthritis can expect to live normal life spans and maintain a near-normal lifestyle with modest adaptations to protect the involved organs.
