I am a gay male who has been in what I believed was a monogamous relationship for the past year. A couple of months after he and I first met, he had symptoms of, and tested positive for, chlamydia and gonorrhea. At the time, I got an STD test and tested negative.He absolutely swore that he did not cheat on me, and so I gave him the benefit of the doubt that maybe he got it from a previous partner and didn't know. Over the next 9 months, our relationship was off and on. During one of our "off" periods, I got another STD test and again came up negative. Now, in January, he again had symptoms and tested positive for the same two diseases. When I got tested yet again (for now the third time in 9 months), I again came up negative. We have broken up since, and after a month, he is still swearing to me that he has never cheated on me and never even had any sexual activity during any of our brief "off" periods. Not only have I tested negative, but I have never even had any symptoms (from what I've read, men can be asymptomatic for a long time, but not 9 months). Are there any documented cases of nonsexual transmission of either or both of these diseases? Or what about cases where urine tests do not identify an infection (as in, could I actually have it, but it's just not showing up in my tests)? What is the chance of him having a relapse from the first time, without passing it on to me?
Thank you in advance for any answers on what seems to be some tough questions.
