Married for 15 years, Could Chlamydia re-suffice after 15 years?
I am pregnant with my third child and I have been tested positive for Chlamydia. During my pregnancy with my 2nd child in August 2005 I tested negative for Chlamydia (she just turned two in March).. My husband and I have been married for 15 years and been together for 17 years. My husband was a virgin when I meant him, but I was not. When we first meant I gave him Chlamydia. We both tested positive in 1993 and both were treated at the same time in 1993 and both cured. We have not strayed. While I was pregnant with my 2nd child when I was tested negative He had come to the Lord, He would not sin against the Lord and me! He has been in a job that he works late hours and he is busting his hump and has no energy or time to stray. And I certainly with two children and being pregnant don't have desire for anyone or the energy. If he isn't working, we are together almost 24-7. I have asked for a re-test. Is it possible that I was never cured and it has layed dormant for over 15 years? He had the drip back then and doesn't have any symptoms now. And I have a yellow discharge but I am prone to yeast infections. I am really confused because the doctor's office said that there has never been a case of a reoccurrance.

No, it wouldn't recur like that.
I'm glad you asked for a retest. Your husband should also test, just to be sure. If you both get negative tests, then you can definitely say you had a false positive.
However, if its positive, then its a new infection, and that would mean someone had been with someone else.

AJ...you still refuse to believe in the immaculate infection :)
That joke is probably in bad taste given the occasion of this weekend. However, I could not resist.

To Scared:
Some people just happen to be faithful in a marriage, you would know that if you knew the Lord. My re-test was negative. Praise the Lord! And Scared ....... if you are scared because you have something then repent and ask God for forgiveness -- then sin no more, and fornicate no more.
To Married couples & AJ: lab techs can mess up! Before you get the treatment -- Get a re-test!!!! My re-test was negative. Only Satan can do evil and when you get closer to the Lord - Satan will tempt you, he will tempt you to doubt. And yes I doubted my husband only because of this positive test. But knowing him and knowing that he would have had to have cheated during his walk with the Lord, I should of trusted him and trusted the Lord, but I let Satan tempt me. Please forgive me Lord. I pray that all on this form stop your fornicating, stop your sinning and come to the Lord. Ask the Lord for forgiveness and get married if you are in a position too, if not, stop and wait until you are able to marry then stay faithful, that is what pleases the Lord. Except Jesus as your savior. I rebuke you Satan in the name of Jesus. Amen!!!! We are here on Earth for only a short time, Heaven is forever!

*blink blink*
wow... you totally remind me of that God Warrior from "Wife Swap".
Also, I think whomever you believe in; whether it be God, Buddha, Allah, Gaia, etc - you make peace and you move on with your life. You make your own decisions, your own choices - no one tempts your willpower but yourself because it is your concious mind that makes the final decision. For those who have "sinned" here, we all just need to make peace with ourselves and our loved ones and learn from our mistakes. Forgiving it is one's heart not in some intangible parent-figure who shakes a finger at us. Yet again, that is just one person's opinion.

Hey...it's an STD forum. Not "convert to my religion" forum.
If you need help w/ your chlamydia problem, then go ahead. But don't bring that Satan this and God that **** on here. No one needs it.
Get off your bible thumping soap box, and let the rest of us think what we like. Geez.

I'm glad you re-tested, and it does show that there can be false positives. No test is 100% accurate.
Personally, I find the preaching offensive, as it has no place on this board. You come for help then assume everyone is "fornicating" and needs the lord. Would you be saying all this if you had been positive again?
And I wonder why you were testing for STDs if you were so sure in your marriage.
Z is right - this is a medical help site, not a theology one.

Oh and you had chlamydia years ago - what makes you different from the rest of these people?

I'm not here to preach. I too have to repent -- we are all sinners. I did not say everyone on this board was fornicating. I said if you are to stop, ask for forgiveness. I am no different from any other sinner, I need the Lord every day. We all fall short of God's glory. -- I was just saying that for all those Married couples out there that are about to get a divorce because of this test or are confused because of a positive result that they too should get a retest. And God should be in all that we do.... Forums -- everyday living. I don't want to offend anyone, but I would rather Glorify the Lord........ and if this helps one person turn to the Lord -- it would be worth all of your insults.
No one defended me when Scared made light of the situation. But I mention God and you all are offended. How sad. I will mourn for you all that are so offended because the reason you are offended is maybe your hearts were pricked and you know that you need repentance.

I don't know your medical background if any, but to answer your question. It is a routine test when you are pregnant, I didn't ask to be tested for Chlamydia.

Yes, I re-read your original post after posting that, and noticed you were pregnant. I apologize for that comment.
No one defended you when Scared made his joke because it was really a joke for me, and not about you. We get a lot of people here very scared about infections when they've had NO RISK. We also have people who refuse to believe their partner has strayed when all the evidence is there, and are more comfortable believing that the infection "just appeared." That's why he made that joke.
He also said he realized the joke was in poor taste.
People tend to get prickly when someone preaches to them, period, and they are hear looking for medical help, not salvation. Salvation, their relationship with God, sinning, etc., are all matters they can take up with their preachers/ministers/pastors/priests if they feel the need to.
It doesn't belong here.
I'm glad your test was negative. Let's leave it at that.

I'm leaving this forum.
If you believe that your partner isn't cheating, get a retest, it may save your relationship.
Thank you for your advice AJ.
Goodbye! and God Bless! In Jesus Amen!

Man...I know EXACTLY what I'm getting tonight for dinner....Chocolate chocolate brownie...oh man...
I was in retirement from this forum, but your pathetic attempt at ministry has brought me out of retirement...
1. If you are so faithful, then why did you even have to ask in a forum called Sexually Transmitted Diseases. Why didn't you just call your Paster and ask him why you tested positive for "the clam" and what to do about it. Don't get pissed off at me because you have faith issues and doubted your husband.
2. I am "scared" because I have chronic pain in my pants that hurts like pure hell all day and some of the night. I am on this forum because I have found it to be good place to find answers and to help others that need it.
3. You need to read about the Pharisees. You sound like one of their kind. Here is a lesson for you: Why is it that Christ always reached out with compassion, but the Pharisees always have disdain for the rest of the world? Get over yourself!

I got on this site to help my daughter understand some of the dangers out there when you live outside what the Lord calls for. I am amazed that people got so testy and offended when the married lady with the false positive was just expressing herself and giving her oppinion which happen to include God. We who believe in God try to see everything as God would see it and mend whatever we are doing that does not please him. That may include doubting our partner, straying, and (gasp!) FORNICATING! I don't believe she was being judgemental as the Pharisees, she was just simply giving her oppinion and advice as you all have.

First, this thread is from March. Kind of old to be responding to it simply to create debate.
Second, I had already asked people to not get into the debate, as everyone has different beliefs, and this is not the place for debate about those. This is a medical information and support site, and those debates have no place here.
You are certainly entitled to feel as you do, as is everyone else. It just doesn't belong HERE.
Please - no more comments, or I will delete the thread.
