One more note! Please visit Medhelp forum on Chlamydia where you can discuss personal issues with other people who have either experience the STD or as yourself going through it. You don't have to suffer alone with this, join the forum and get advice and counseling on how to live with this STD. Good luck, Judy
You want to get treatment right away, and if you like this boy as much as you do (even if you didnt) it is health at risk, the sooner you treat it the better. I know I would be angry (p*****) if i got an STD from someone and they didnt tell me within 24 hours of their knowledge, im a girl that's my body it could change my life! well do the right think tell him and get yourself treated sweetie. if he leaves you think about yourself blow it off, it happened dont look back just get treatment n learn from this ok.
Yes, I agree with the others. You owe it to him to tell him right away. Also, do not delay in treatment for yourself as chlamydia is particularly damaging to a woman. There is a process of treatment that you must go through and you need to stay with it until the end and you test negative for it. Please do that!! Also, I'm not playing mother hen here . . . but woman to woman------- not a smart idea to be so wasted that we think someone had sex with us and it was unprotected. Boyfriend or not, that is not treating ourselves or our body in a healthy way. goodluck
p.s. you have to tell him immediately, even if it means the end of the relationship, because he needs medical help for it now. It is the right thing to do, even if it means losing him!
We do have a specific forum under "STDs" that you might want to look into posting. This is the consequence of irresponsible behavior, not handling liquor properly resulting in irresponsible behavior, unprotected sex and an innocent person who probably has the contagious:
I did a little research on the serious STD:
Chlamydia trachomatis can damage a woman's reproductive organs, which is the reason why women should deal with the problem as soon as possible. Symptoms of chlamydia are often undetectable. They might be mild or absent, but the bacteria can cause some serious complications that result in irreversible damage to the reporductive organs, including infertility. This may occur before a woman ever recognizes a problem. Women are often reinfected if their sex partners do not get the right type of treatment. Between 50%-75% of all women infected with chlamydia have no symptoms and do not know that they run the risk of developing a serious health condition. Men are not immune from chlamydia. In infected men, the disease can cause discharge from the penis. The bacteria can affect other parts of the human body. For instance, chlamydia infection of the eye is the most common cause of blindness.
Chlamydia trachomatis species can cause the following conditions:
Cervicitis
Conjunctivitis
Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome
Lymphogranuloma venereum
Pelvic inflammatory disease
Pneumonia in infants
This is a very serious STD and it is your responsiblity to inform him IMMEDIATELY, so that he can receive treatment in the early stages. Not informing him can have grave consequences for you both in the long run. You must tell him, which is the responsible, honest thing to do.
you HAVE to tell him. he needs to be tested and treated. if he breaks up with...that's something you'll have to live with. it's pretty low and disgusting not to tell a man who you supposedly like so much you possible passed on an std to him.
either way he'll eventually find out. if he has it he'll start showing symptoms, get tested, get treated and figure out it was you. so he either finds out on his own or you come clean.
... it would be selfish and irresponsible if you didn't tell him.
