Chlamydia Contagious After Six Years?

Chlamydia Contagious After Six Years?

Thirteen years ago, my boyfriend contracted chlamydia.  This was according to his girlfriend at the time who apparently contracted it, and accused him of infecting her with it after a supposed affair he had.  Because he did not show any symptoms of the infection himself, he did not get diagnosed or seek treatment (obviously not a smart move).  I began having a relationship with him six years later, but he did not tell me about this event until this past year (seven years later)  he didn't think he actually had chlamydia .  If he did though, is it possible that he could have still had the infection six years after contracting it and therefore infected me?  I have never had any symptoms, but I know chlamydia does not always reveal itself through symptoms, but only through testing.

Not after six years.  After no more than 2 years, severe symptoms start showing up.  So, either she had a false result or she needed someone to blame.  It is a good idea that you both get tested so you can go on with your relationship knowing you both are or are not std free.
