Chlamydia related bacteria similar to any other bacteria?
by sera777, Feb 16, 2008 02:30PM
Is the bacteria that is diagnosed as Chlamydia similar to any other bacteria that can be mistaken in the results for chlamydia? My husband is ready to end our marrige (for me cheating) and I did not do anything, no sex with anyone else, I am starting to think that I am going insane because everyone says you could have only gotten it through sex, I know I did not have sex with anyone else. Help!

If you have chlamydia, and you know you didn't cheat, then you got it from your husband.

Of course, this isn't as common, but it is possible. It's a shame that relationships can be ruined because this isn't explained to people better.
There are different forms of chlamydia bacteria, and there is one that can be spread the way you describe. That would cause pneumonia, though, not a genital infection.
The std test would identify ONLY the type that causes a genital infection, chlamydia trachomatis. If you had a chlamydia blood test, it doesn't specify which chlamydia bacteria you've had, and it might be the chlamydia pneumoniae bacteria. Blood tests for chlamydia shouldn't be done as part of an std screening.

The original question was is Chlamydia similiar to any other bacteria. The answer should be yes.
When my dh got the initial dx, it was our first assumption as well. Now I know it's not the case.
