STD testing

[londonandwhere]

I had STD testing a week ago ourside UK and ureaplsma urealytium and mycoplsma hominis were detected. My doctor said this test was STD-PCR(DNA testing) and advised that my husband should take the test too. My husband is in Sweden at the moment.

Are these STI/STD? I am asking because I am not sure if STD test that I took in the UK included these.

I don't think they are routinely tested for in the UK, but i think your best best would be to attend a GUM clinic where you can see a GUM consultant who can advise you better (you can self refer) I can see that both bacteria are associated with NSU - non specific urethritis which is a type of STI affecting men usually, but they can be asymptomatic for a long time so it doesn't necessarily mean anyone has been playing away.

Thank you very much for your answer. It was very helpful. What has been most frustrating since I heard the test result was whether he has had any sexualy contact with other woman. He answered he hasn't and having seen him for the past 5 years he wouldnt tell a lie to me. But the doctor said these are sexually transmitted mostly but she cant tell what caused it.

We both had a STD test at Jefferiss Wings walk-in centre last November and both of us were all negative(I think it was a standard test tho). And when I had same STD-PCR in December in the same clinic, it was all negative.

He will go to a drop in centre to take a test. I asked him to show my test result to the clinic. You mean regardless of ureaplsma urealytium and mycoplsma hominis detected on the test, it doesnt necessary mean he has been playing away?

Some infections can have mild or hardly any symptoms, so you can catch them a long long time ago and only find out later. If he was tested for these infections and negative a while ago, but now positive then that might be different.

GUM clinic usually have advisors/counsellors that can talk you through not only the infection/treatment but also what it means, they help with contact tracing etc when needed.

I see.. He was not tested for these infection in Nov because I rememebr only Chlamydia, Hepatitis B, Syphilis, HIV were ticked. But when I had another test alone which included ureaplsma urealytium and mycoplsma hominis in Dec it was all negative.
Yeah I will tell him to visit GUM clinic.
