Clamiydia
I have been with my husband for 8 yrs (faithful) I had an std test 3 yrs ago when I got my pap, came up everything was good NO std, last week hurt to pee so had an std test again now positive for clamiydia remind u have been with only husband for 8 yrs I asked him if he cheated he said no, now iv heard both sides some say yes u could have had it for over 8 yrs and no u would have known way before that but like I said had an std test done 3 yrs ago and was negative, please I need to know if he is lying. Please help.
I took my meds that day, also gave him his I figure to argue with him is pointless, I pretty much made up my mind the minute the doc told me, but had to get rid of any dought so to say, I no what I'm gonna do just cause I have to b smart at the same time, I have just started my business and my youngest is 9. So I'm playing along so to speak but have to do a couple of things before I leave, I wanted to thank everyone for there help but in the end I no what I have to do, for me. Thx to all of you!!!
Life360 invited me to comment.
I agree with all that has been said so far. To be blunt, statistically the most likely explanation is that your husband acquired chlamydia from an extramarital exposure. Beyond that, we can't judge whether or not your husband is being truthful; only you can do that. You know your husband and your relationship, we don't.
Another possibility is that your test is false positive. Can you find out exactly what test you had, i.e. the type of tst or brand name? False positive results are uncommon but occur from time to time, especially with certain types of tests. (However, I doubt this is the explanation, since you had symptoms in addition to the positive test. Life360 is correct that symptoms usually mean a new infection, not an old one.)
Presumably you have been treated, right? What drug? If your husband hasn't been treated, that of course is also necessary -- before you have sex with him again. And of course he should be tested first. (Even if he tests negative, it won't necessarily mean he wasn't infected. But we can cross that bridge if and when you come to it.)

Just to add an extra comment, if neither have medicated it would be best for both to test. This can rule out false positives.

I cant advise you this but a starting point would be for him to get tested and you be there as well.
Chlamidia and goneareha lol don't no how to spell that still anyway 3 yrs ago same test done and then again now but now positive result. I'm sorry if I'm being a little rude about the whole situation but I need to no exactly if he is to blame since I haven't been with anyone else but him in 8 yrs. that's y it's so important to make the life changing decision

We are not here to point fingers but only explain how std,s are transmitted and risks and such. You tested negative 3 years ago and chlamydia was on the list. You got urethra burning esp while urinating and you tested positive for it. Its only contracted via sexual contact.
If he gets testing and is positive also then you will have your unquestionable answer as to where you got it. Also if you continue to be intimate with him he would need to be treated as well.
In the world of testing, false negatives are much more common than false positive and since you had burning while urinating, considering a false positive would really not be an issue.
What type of test did they perform?

I just thought of something what would that matter if he gets tested iv been faithful so I couldn't have got it from anywhere else but him so I don't think him getting tested is an issue it has to b him right??
Thanks now I no exactly what I'm gonna do

Hi, chlamydia is one of those std,s that a person could carry and be without symptoms esp females. But you would not carry it 8 years as the body would clear this up on its own in a few months or so. Also you did test negative a while back.
There is no way to say tell hes lying but if you just came down with symptoms and also just tested positive then it would appear you acquired it recently. Incubation from exposure to symptoms would be around 7 days.
Bottom line is you got it from someone and its only transmitted via sexual contact.
I would suggest your husband get tested as well and you be there for the test and the results.
