chlamydia questions???

[frnkbates]

Hi Doc.

Firstly can I refer you to a post that some one added to a posting yesterday ( a posting by shotta added to by spydercomp01):

I have chlamydia in the throat from going down on a women with chlamydia at the time, it was just a little sore throat, and a week of Doxycycline cleared it right up.

But, frnkbates, 3 sets of neg tests, you clearly don't have anything.  You're worrying too much.

yeah, that's the weird thing.. i was surprised when my doctor told me it could be chlamydia.  however, he told me while in med school a guy came in and had same symptoms (but he told the doc "i went down on a girl with chlamydia") soooo i think that's a little bit different of a story; the girl i went down on swears up and down she is clean... but he still tested me. probably just to be safe, i don't know?  

and to the guy freakin out about this.. dude.. you don't have anything.. my doctor has been a doctor 20 years and has seen one case of this when the guy went down on a girl WITH chlamydia at the time.

I SHOULD ADD THAT I DON'T HAVE ANY URETHAL DISCHARGE OR PAIN WHEN URINATING.

The exposures you describe were very low risk for either gonorrhea or chlamydia; your and you partner's symptoms don't sound like either infection (chlamydia rarely infects the throat at all, and gonorrhea causes no lesions or sore throat); although amoxicillin isn't recommended as standard treatment, it would clear most gonorrhea or chlamydial infections; and you had several negative tests by reliable providers (UK GUM clinics generally are excellent).  How much more reassurance do you need?

Bluntly, you don't have it and I'm not going to respond to further follow-up questions for clarification.  If still not reassured, go back to one of the GUM clinics.
