Confused and Scared!
by staciel69, Jun 03, 2008 11:49PM
Hello,
I went to the doctor last week for what I knew had to be a bacterial infection (I've had them before and knew the symptoms). It was almost time for my yearly pap smear and my doctor asked me if I wanted her to go ahead and do that while at the office. I had her complete the exam. My doctor confirmed to me that I did indeed have a bacterial infection and prescribed medication to me. I received a call at work telling me that the test for Chlamydia came back positive. Imagine my horror! I asked her how could this be. I have been with my husband for 14 years and it is a blissful happy marriage. She suggested my husband get tested and encouraged me to make sure he showed me his results or talked to the doctor. My husband and I were scared out of our mind and he continually stated he had never cheated on me and would ever jeopordize our family. His test came back negative! I have been 100% faithful to my husband and if his test came back negative, how in the world would I have gotten it? I plan to be retested before I start the medication.
Is there a chance that the bacterial infection infection I have is confusing the test that gave me the Chlamydia result?

Are you taking meds for the other infection? If you have started them, your re-test for chlamydia might not be accurate.

My doctor just told me that it was a small bacterial infection called Bacterial Vaginosis and I am in my 3rd day of taking the medication. I have not yet started taking the medication for the Chlamydia yet as I wanted to get retested before I started.
