Could the clinic be wrong?

[anjelgottaquestion]

Ok i went to the clinic and they said i had chlamidiya.However my b/f also went and was told that he was clean.He was my first (and i never had sex with anyone else).i thought you could only get it through sexual contact, so could the clinic have been wrong or are there other ways to get it?please help

okay we all just posted at the same time how wierd is that? ok it must be a myth then!!

[clinique_diva]

i suppose i could do my own search, but, do they at least put them under or numb it up before hand? do you know? i'm gonna guess they do, because that just seems like an awful way to do it, i believe you, but i just cant believe it ya know, it's hard to explain i guess.it's true what they say about you learn something new everyday!!

:-) Good girl.

Then the other option is to get another test done.
Hope all goes well.

Forgive me if I am wrong,(I am not up on all STD's) but can clamidia be transmitted via undetected shedding???  Or is that a different STD?

You can have false positive and negative results on chlamydia tests. Often if one person has a positive, they treat both (regardless of the other person's results), on the off chance that they DO have chlamydia, because untreated chlamydia can lead to PID.

cinnamonsugar: The STD you're thinking of is herpes :-) But even so, the other partner would have antibodies to HSV if that were the case.
