my question about this post is that there were TWO ppl involved in this situation...the poster and his b/f.   let's just say that the b/f cheated...became infected...and gave it to the poster...without the poster ever knowing any different.   who knows?  kind of hard to know for sure what the circumstances surrounding this incident were

Well I kinda agree rare does not mean it does not happen, but its always hard to know, and since its so rare its is also hard to prove/back it up too.

That's what you get for going into a forum you had know business of going into. You cannot believe everything in that forum. People risks and when exposed and when they tested. Those people are embarrassed to tell the truth.

Well, while I do not believe you deserve to be chastised for being curious, you may wish to read such posts with a healthy dose of skepticism tucked away in your back pocket, just in case you need it. I agree with the previous posters who say that it is a little difficult to take everything said in such a place at face value, and so, you probably should not do so.

The window, according to the CDC, is 3 months. That is when to test and obtain a conclusive result. Not four months, not five months, not six months, not a year. Three months. Do not make this more difficult on yourself than it has to be.

his post doesnt seem to make much sense, chlamydia just doesnt pop up out of nowhere, especially when youre having safe sex. Obviously there's more to the story than he's willing to share. Just my opinion, though. He was probably infected the same time he got Chlamydia from unprotected sex.

How long where you trawling the interent to find that?

Sigh,  I love how people ignore and take the advice of the authorities on such things, as well as many doctors with a grain of salt, but when some random guy on a forum somewhere says otherwise, they take it as gospel.

i am just worried....that's all. better to be safe than sorry. i know the concensus are that after 13 weeks, a negative result is as negative it shall ever be. What would be the advsive be for those who still feels....what if.....what if.....coz if someone is indeed infected, the virus should stop there and then, correct? is there any online counseling available?

Seek professional mental help. No, there is no unline counseling and that is not what anyone needs. It's face to face counseling that is needed.
