Chlamydia False Positive????

I have just been told that my pap came back showing I had Chlamydia???  I am 50+, divorced, have not had sex with anyone in at least 5 years, I have NO symptoms and trying to find out what the percentage is for false positives.  I understand this may be tough to find out because of people not wanting to admit they have been messing around with someone else.  I did have chlamydia about 25 years ago and have been married a couple of times without my partner ever testing positive that I know of.  My doctor is going to retest but I am just baffled!

Yep., sounds like a false positive to me.

In certain communities, where the tests are comming out negative, there is a propensitiy for false positives.  When I had read up on this literature a whlie back ago, I found that interesting.  I forgot the name of the scientist who's law this reflects, but false negatives do happen.   Its a statistical realistic account.

Let us know if indeed it was a false positive test.

So relieved to have received a phone call back from my physician's office saying they had mixed up my samples with someone elses.  So sorry for the person who really does have a positive test but glad they figured it out!  Thanks for your help.
