Doctors find nothing in girlfriend?
1) Had sex with another woman, got symptoms
2)Had unprotected sex with my gf
2) Got tested by myself, told by doctors it was NGU, as chlamydia and gonorrhea came back negative
3) Didnt tell girlfriend what I had, but gave her encouragement to get tested
4)4-5 months later, my gf and i have unprotected sex for the first time since #2
5)This time i tell my gf of all the symptoms, (as i secretely know its going to be NGU, and I learned that NGU isnt solely developed through sexual activity. therefore it was a nice cover)
6)My gf agrees to get tested if i get tested and i have something. I go to the clinic, and as expected it was NGU (again).
7)I tell my gf over the phone of my diagnosis, and she was very, very quiet. Crying a bit too. Though, she never suspected me of cheating... and actually, i sensed relief in her voice when i told her its not necessarily a sexually transmitted infection...
8)I go with her to her doctor. When she comes out, she says her doctor "saw nothing wrong", and took the pap. And, "the pap came back negative"
9)A month later, im skeptical of her last pap (#8). She claims she went 10-20 days after her period (the ideal time). She agrees to go to the STD clinic to make sure.
10) We go to the clinic, and "everything was fine".
11)Any ideas?

The thing about antibiotics is that many people discontinue using them after the symptoms vanish with the mistaken notion that the condition is completely gone. But, often, it's still present. That's why these meds have to be taken exactly as prescribed (typically, a 10 day cycle). While, at other times, a different (perhaps stronger) antibiotic might be necessary. Again, I strongly suspect that you're still carrying the infection of the original contact... especially, since your girlfriend continually tests negative. But, I agree... it does seem curious (perhaps, coincidental?) that the symptoms re-emerge and seemingly co-relate with unprotected intercourse with your girlfriend. Another visit/ consultation with the doctor and possibly another round of antibiotics will probably answer the mystery and cure the problem. Take care!
Thanks for all the suggestions. Who knows, maybe she cheated on me too, and tested positive for the NGU but didn't tell me. Or she contracted it from me but was too embarrassed to admit it. Either way, ill get checked out again to make sure its all gone. Thanks.
if she was told she's negative by her doctor no she does not have it. just b/c the physical symptoms clear up DOES NOT MEAN it's cleared up. it can lay dormont if you do not get rid of it completely.
go back to your doctor and tell you g/f she should be retested to make sure you didn't give it too her...this time. and STOP having unprotected sex. whether it's with your g/f or whoever. not only do you risk another std you're risking pregnancy.

I didn't get the all clear, no. But my physical symptoms cleared up after taking the antibiotic following my original contraction. I didn't have unprotected sex for another 4 months, and immediately after I did, the symptoms reoccurred. Wouldn't this mean that she has it?
Brian... this is just a thought but, maybe what would seem like a recurrence or a reinfection might be a case of not being fully cured of the original condition. Did you get the "all clear" from your doctor regarding this condition and prior to engaging in intimacy with your girlfriend?
I know, I got it from another girl originally. But it reoccured after intercourse with my girlfriend. how does this make sense?
yes i realize this. Her tests are coming back negative, therefore she hasn't received treatment. But I re-caught it from her. She took the pap test at the correct time of her cycle. Does anyone have an educated theory as to how/why this may be happening?
This is how std's keep getting transferred. What if you would have had hiv and gave it to your girlfriend. She has trust in you and you have broke that trust and she dosen't know. Not cool! Use a condom and quit cheating. This may be your only get out of jail card.
