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?

These two threads together on my active page did make chuckle inside.
I'm clutching at straws for you that it's a false test but if it's not then I think deep down you know the answer.

This is the most naive thing i have ever read. I work in a sexual health clinic, you cannot get chlamydia unless you have had sex with someone infected. Maybe the test was wrong 3 years ago and you did have it, but thats so unlikely. In the last 3 years, you or your partner have contracted chlamydia somehow. If you are 100% sure you haven't slept with anyone else, then im sorry but unless you are completely simple, you surely see that your partner has given it too you? Do you know that he didnt have it before he got with you? He might not have even known. Sorry but you are being so naive if you think you are the one person in the history of the world to contract chlamydia without having sex with an infected person. This is my job, along with others who have posted on here, i happen to know what i'm talking about a little bit more than you do. Everyone who has posted on here, aren't trying to "rip your relationship to shreds"..they're living in the real world and they obviously know there is only one way to get infected.

Harley get off your high horse and read the thread, or better yet just bugger off.

I'm not simple, or naive, nor do I think I'm a medical marvel. The others who work in sexual health have rationally advised a retest, which is what I am doing.

Just out of interest, what is it you do in the sexual health clinic?

So what are going to do if this one is positive, request another one? As you say you're 100 % sure he's not cheated.

Can we all just take a second to read Ops post where it says that she has no doubts about her DH. Now lets all read it again,and a few more times until it sinks in.
Op has posted multiple times, and has even had to justify why she trusts her DH.
The only smugness i see is coming from PPs who are acting as if god gave them an all seeing eye and they know the OPs DH has cheated.

I am genuinely baffled that people are so broken down by life and relationships that they can't fathom why someone would 100% trust their partner. Stop putting your own issues onto the OP. Just because someone works in a sexual health clinic doesn't mean they know the OPs partner better.

OP, I hope you are ok getting through what sounds a difficult week. You're responses amuse me - people are jerks.

loveyouthemoon I am not going to keep requesting retests. We'll just need to see what these tests come back as. There's been no cheating, even more sure there's been no cheating in the last 3 years.

So basically anybody who points out this is a std is unhelpful?

You're not giving up are you?

It's well established it's an sti.

Honestly some of the posts in this thread.

The OP has had a termination this week. Her DH has a life limiting illness. She has a coil that has fell out of her fanny and the same fanny that has gone through a termination this week could possibly have chlamydia which the OP doesn't know how she has. As she is 100% sure her dp has cheated neither has she accidentally fallen on a cock.

Can we just have a bit of compassion for another mother, another parent that is probably going through some pretty shot times.

It doesn't matter if you think the DH has cheated. He hasn't cheated on you if he has. The op asked where else it could have come from. Not whether you think or.know her or dh have cheated.

If you don't have any ideas other than 'he cheated' then don't reply to the thread. The op sounds neither stupid or naive or smug. It matters not 2 fucking figs what job you have or what your knowledge is. Unless you were in the room when her DH fell.into someone elses fanny you don't know he cheated.

This really is a simple matter of - retest for you, test for DH. Matter sorted.

I don't think people are 'so broken down by life and relationships that they can't fathom why someone would 100% trust their partner'.

We're talking in the context of someone mysteriously having contracted an STI, here. There would be no doubt at all over X person's trustworthiness, were it not for the STI rearing its little head.

Wow there are some arseholes on this thread!

Hope you're doing okay Forever, sorry to hear about your husband's condition

Hopefully the retest will come back negative. If not, I hope you get some answers as to where the disease could have come from.

It sounds like one for Doctor House

But if the tests come back as true results and not false positives. Then what? Apologies if you've answered that one OP, this thread has moved so fast and taken on a life of its own!

I really hope it's a false positive. I didn't even think such thing existed, scary really. But if it isn't. What is your next line of action?

Hope you get it sorted OP.

She's already answered that question up the page.

So....what happened then??

I am amazed that so many people think you can't get Chlamydia other than through sexual contact. Yes, it's an STD, but bacteria can spread in other ways too, even though it is uncommon. As an eye infection, it can spread through personal contact, flies or contaminated towels (Wikipedia).
So, a positive result doesn't have to mean someone has cheated.

@Tardigrade001 because Wikipedia is the gold standard of reliable sources

It's basic info, available anywhere if you bother to look. Pretty logical, too.

I've just spent the last few minutes googling and have yet to find anything that says you can catch it from anything but sexual contact- apart from a mother passing it on to her baby,certainly not by sharing towels.

Try 'chlamydial conjunctivitis'.

Its my work area too:
(1) its a bacterium
(2) if you've got it at any body site including your vagina, anus or throat, it was from someone else.
(3) the tests can be falsely positive, so you need to get retested to confirm the result
(4) you need to get rested before you start taking the antibiotics. Same goes for your husband

rested= retested!!
