Hi there -

Since you both tested positive, there is no chance for a false positive, etc.

I am SO sorry to say this, but the only way this could have happened is through sex with someone else.  Chlamydia can go a long time without giving you symptoms, but not 7 years.  The longest I've seen personally is a year and a half, and I've seen some experts say 4, but I've never heard of anyone going 7 years.

Have you had babies?  If you have, my guess is that they tested you during your pregnancies.  You should talk to your OB about this.  He/she will have a record of testing.  If you were negative then, and positive now, its a new infection for you.  Even if you didn't have symptoms, your test would be positive for it, if you had it.

Other infections don't turn into chlamydia.  

I'm so very sorry, and I wish you the best of luck.
