NGU Transmission

[sarafina13]

My partner was diagnosed with NGU a few weeks ago and he said that it is generally caused by Chlamydia. We have been together for 5 months and I have been monogamous since I started seeing him. He was angry and said I must have been with someone else because he had no STD's until now. He also said that the common time for symptoms of NGU to develop after transmission was 3-4 weeks.

Again, I have not been with anyone else since he and I became involved, but I did not get an STD test after the last person I dated, about 6 months ago. My question is, if neither my current partner nor I have slept with anyone else since we became involved, could I still have given him this STD as a result of my previous relationship? How long can a person have chlamydia before passing it on to their partner? Does one necessarily get NGU right after a person becomes infected with chlamydia?

Have you ever found out what caused it.  I m maried and it poppoed up oit of no where.  It is causing a great strain on my relationship.  Where can this have come from woth not having any affair?

I was tested and just got negative results back. I guess now I'm wondering what caused it.

no, ngu isn't always from chlamydia. have either of you been tested for chlamydia?  many other bacteria that cause it, even the normal mouth bacteria can cause it from a partner performing oral sex.  http://www.ashastd.org/learn/learn_ngu.cfm  for more reading.
