Chlamydia - where has it can't from?

268 replies

ForeverLivingMyArse · 02/02/2017 18:15

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?

Oh ffs op! What did you expect people to say? This is a sexually transmitted infection. Either the test is wrong or one of you has shagged elsewhere since your last test. If you haven't and the test is correct then your oh has. I would take a lot of convincing that my dh had shagged elsewhere too but a positive std test when I knew I hadn't been with anybody else would certainly do it.
Get the test redone and see where that takes you but don't be all indignant with posters who have pointed out that a std is a fair sign of sexual infidelity.

giraffes there is a difference between being 100% trusting of your OH, and being 100% certain that in no way could they ever have possibly cheated.

"Percent of men who admit to committing infidelity in any relationship they’ve had - 57%."

"New diagnostics accuracy studies indicated that false positive rates for chlamydia or gonorrhea were 3% or less"

Thats why people have a hard time
believing you were given a false positive result.

Not sure what virus the nurse is talking about seeing as Chlamydia is a bacteria

Calm down Northern, it's not your problem, you seem more worked up over it than we are.

I have no idea what she was talking about either and can't find anything about it online (god help anyone looking through my history!) but to be fair I'm paraphrasing so the virus/bacteria thing is probably my mix up. I was out and about with work when I took the call so just took in what I needed to. The anal and transferring through wiping due to the 'geography' of the area were some of what she said as a possibility for the result. She then took me through what to do next and how to get the anti b's.

I like you OP. I like how you are standing for yourself and have a fiesty spirit lol Grin
Anyway hopefully it's nothing sinister and was just one of those fluky result Flowers

A man once announced to the whole world, "I did NOT have sexual relations with that woman". We all believed him. But by happy chance, That Woman had kept her semen stained dress as a souvenir. The evidence was then undeniable and the man had to modify his statement to say that he'd previously thought 'sexual relations' had meant actual intercourse, not the kind of pastime that had resulted in his DNA being able to be scraped off a dress.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 02/02/2017 20:50

But how did you get Chlamydia in your anus?

Bloggybollocks · 02/02/2017 20:53

How was I rude?! I thought I explained what i was asking in a rather 'non rude' way actually! It seems from your response you're maybe not quite sure as you think. Good luck, with everything.

How interesting Molly...

BeingATwat - I don't know, my anus hasn't even been tested and I don't think I do so I really don't know what she was on about! I did say 'how does it get there' and she said 'it just kind of does' so I'm not sure what she was on about.

It's not really a bacteria or a virus is it? It's somewhere in between.
Anyway Op, I do these tests for a living and I reckon you've been given the wrong result. Sadly samples do get mislabelled, the wrong sample can be tested, they're tested in big batches and although there are measures in place to make sure that the samples are identified and tested properly, sometimes mistakes happen.
Get a re-test. Get your husband tested. Decide what to do when you have those results.

Inferring someone's partner has a gross disfigurement deeming him unfuckable to woman kind - is that normal, polite behaviour in your world is it?

It was a busy clinic and we were shunted from one room to the next for lots of different things - counselling, interview, scan, bloods and then sent to the loo with a swab to insert in me then put in a tube and hand to the nurse waiting outside. This was the swab test for chlamidyia. I was told to phone in after a week (this was Thursday) but the nurse called me Monday. I didn't get back in touch with her until today (line always ringing out) which is when she told me. It feels like Thursday to Monday was pretty quick for the results.

I'll go get tested again, get him done and go from there.

Sounds like I can safely write of the anal thing she mentioned.

@MollyHuaCha maybe OP will have a book written after her too then

I might also do an inspirational TED Talk on internet wankers too, just like she did.

You do seem a bit worked up op TBH.

Bloggybollocks · 02/02/2017 21:10

It was at the the top of 'active' threads. Hence the wider audience who no, may not all tell you what you want to hear. If you wanted to keep it private and not hear a range of opinions then perhaps you shouldn't have posted on an Internet forum and, y'know, just gone back to the Dr's.....Hmm

Dealing with idiots tends to get a bit trying after a time...

Anyway, as I've said, I have my plan of action and I'm grateful for the useful input of many on the thread. I'll update when we have some progress.

Good luck OP. Hopefully it'll just turn out to be a false positive.
I think it's nice you feel that secure in your relationship
