Chlamydia - where has it can't from?

[ForeverLivingMyArse]

Last week I had a medical termination and as part of the procedure they test for STI and I was swabbed for chlamydia. I got a Cahill today too say I tested positive for chlamydia.

Dh and I have been together 12 years, no other sexual partners in this time. I was last tested 3 years ago when pregnant and was clear.

I have not cheated and I am 100% sure he hasn't. Not a doubt is in my mind about that. He works, eats and sleeps and thats about it!

Neither of us have had any symptoms, nothing.

I've got a line to get the anti b for both of us but I'm puzzled as to where it's came from.

Everything I read says sexually transmitted only.

The nursery mentioned anal chlamydia that might have transferred to my vagina?

Any ideas?

Magic fairies or a random unicorn then.

You can believe it or not, clutch at straws or not but one of you has had unprotected sex with an infected person.

But its your life. Just make sure you have a full screen in case another infection has randomly appeared.

I thinks very unlikely that your 2 (?) previous tests were both defective and gave false negatives. Therefore you have contract this on the last 3 years. It is sexually transmitted only.

One of you has had sexual contact with someone else. Otherwise you're a medical marvel. Sorry, you must be very shocked at the news, assuming it wasn't you and I'd expect it'll take some time to sink in.

Gamer, give it up. I'm not on AIBU for a roasting, I'm asking in health for advice. You might lack trust but you'll need to take my word for it. I'm not naive, I just know for a fact he hasn't cheated and I won't be made to look stupid for knowing that so do me a favour and move on to something else.

Please listen to me, this is my job! If I screened enough virgins occasionally a test would come back positive, falsely (why we don't screen virgins). Don't take the antibiotics and get a repeat test before questioning things further. The anal sex is a red herring. Good luck

OP just wants to know what options are if neither been unfaithful for 12 years

horrid i've been active anally to a degree (like trying when pissed) but only with him and not in years!

get you partner tested. If its negative, you will know it hasn't come from him, won't you. But make sure you actually see the results in person, with your own eyes.

I'm sorry to ruin your chance of being a medical marvel though!

Thanks neckless, I'm not looking for my relationship to be ripped apart by strangers online, just some advice. That's why I opted for health and not another part of the forum.

Don't take the antibiotics and have a retest then.

If you tested negative previously and neither of you have cheated then there in 0% chance you have it and the test must be wrong. There's no alternative.

unless you are with your partner 24/7 365 days a year then i dont see how you can guarantee that he hasnt cheated.

you sound a bit childish with your "i know for a fact". unless you have cheated...?

either that or a false positive or mixing your results with someone elses. only way to know is to be retested

X post.

My GP surgery has baskets of home chlamydia testing kits for people to "help themselves". Can you get hold of a home test for yourself and your DH. You really need to be certain that you are actually have chlamydia (and that the previous test gave a false positive) . Then you can take it from there...

Please try and go to a GUM clinic rather than self test, then someone can talk through what the implications of a repeat test being positive are vs a negative repeat.

It is a STI you can only get it from having unprotected sex with somebody who passes it on. You have 2 possibilities

• test was wrong - retest and find out
• dh has passed it on to you

It's not difficult to understand.

You need to get a retest if you are 100% sure there is no way you could have contracted it.

What is this anal thing you're talking about?

Retest OP. I really hope it was a false positive

Just out of interest, how can you be absolutely certain he hasn't cheated? I trust my DH but I don't think I could ever be 100% certain given a positive result like this. Maybe it's because of previous experiences for me but I'm genuinely interested in how you can be 100% sure

Most tests before confirming a positive STI result are tested more than once. You have a confirmation test that confirms the original positive result but patient samples can get mixed up quite easily. Ask for a repeat test

If you want to choose to believe that neither of you have cheated, then just take the anti biotics and forget about it.

Both get tested. If you are both positive then back to the head scratching. If you are both negative, it was a false positive. Or have you already taken the abx? Has your husband been treated?

He's not flipping out, I'm not flipping out. We trust each other so both assumed there's some kind of mistake. We can function without flipping out about it. We're kind of past the flipping out stage. Childish or not I just know my first thought was not 'hes theater's just like his first thought wasn't 'shes cheated'.

No koala contact, sexual or otherwise!

We were a bit suspect of the hot tub on holiday in November

We've not taken the antibiotics yet. I got a text to take to the chemist to get them for both of us tomorrow.
