My partner and I have our results back. We both had urine tests and I also had a swab, which the clinic called a wet mount. All three of our tests came back negative!! What a stressfull few days! Next time, I will be sure to not jumb to conclusions!
TI think you and I can look at the same information and come to different conclusions. It is possible that he entered the relationship with an infection, that it was not transmitted for some time (both due to intial condom use and subsequently due to the nature of STD transmission - not every or even most exposure leads to transmission). I have seen this happen on more than one occasion. EWH_
I tested negative also in Dec 08, If that test was correct, then I got Chlamydia in the last 6 months, means he cheated. So I'm really hoping it was a false negative test, that I did infact have Chlamydia at that time, or I cleared it.
Thank you for your time. The reason I asked about false negative tests, was because I'm thinking that perhaps he had the disease before we got together which was 6 months before I tested negative. And now 6 months later, I'm postitive. So either he cheated since that negative test or the negative test was false, or I was infected and cleared it on my own prior to the negative test. And I wanted to know the likelihood of these events occurring. Clozer2thezun
I'm not sure why you raise the question of false negatives. Chlamydia is more often asymptomatic in both women and men than symptomatic, can persist without symptoms for long periods of time (over a year for sure) and is not transmitted on every episode of unprotected sex. You had 2 negative tests in January 08 and June 08, followed by a positive test now, in June 09. Assuming you were tested with a high quality test, the chance that your most recent test represented a false positive or a laboratory mix up are quite small and could be ruled out with a repeat test, before treatment. Thus, it certainly appears that you acquired chlamydia in the past year.
On the other hand, your BF had symptoms a few months after you began seeing one another and has not been tested. You don't mention whether he was tested or not but if he was not, it is possible that he was infected when he entered the relationship and subsequently transmitted the infection to you. He would not need to have cheated on your relationship for this to have happened. This may all be due to something that happened before you two were in a committed relationship.
The important thing at this time is that you both get treated.
Am I missing something here? EWH
the tests the clinic used were PCR tests- clozer2thezun
