relationship between gonorrhea and chlamydia

by moura123, Aug 19, 2009 09:07AM
My boyfriend and i got diagnosed with gonorrhea last summer and we got treated for it but we were told not be sexually active for 5-7 days from the day we got treated, but we didnt wait that long, so i got tested again at the beginning of this year and i was clean but he didnt test himself again until now. i found out that he has chamydia now and i have to go test myself again. I have heard that usually the people that have gonorrhea also have chlamydia but we only got treated for gonorrhea last year. According to him, he has not been with anyone else so, is it possible that he has chlamydia because of the gonorrhea??

They are two separate bacteria, totally different, but both well adapted to infecting the human sexual organs.  

There is no relationship between the two, it's just so happens that in 50% of the cases of either infection, there is a co-infection.  

I always thought that both were tested for at the same time... where Im from, both are tested for at the same time, there is no individual test, and both are also treated for at the same time.
