Can It Stay Silent In Both of Us For 2 Yr Or Did She Cheat? Posted: 06-23-06 13:33pm
My girlfriend has just been tested
positive for chlamydia after having tests
after experiencing bad thrush and
discharge. We have been together for 2
years and have had sex at least 1 - 2
times a week on average and I havent had
any sexual contact with anyone else and
neither has she as far as I am aware. In
the last few weeks I have experienced
burning while urinating and have been
trated with amoxycillin and this appears
to have cleared up. I have had no other
symptoms of any kind. Is it possible for
us to have been having sex for this long
and neither of us experiencing any
symptoms and what are the chances of this?
Or has she been cheating on me?

I have a similar question!
I've been with this girl for 5 months, and
one day I expirienced chlamydia symptoms.
I didn't tell her this, because I thought
this was from candida, which she also had
this whole time.
One day she calls me and says she has
chlamydia and that we need to take
antibiotics. I ask her how she got it,
and she said that she has chlamydia for a
long time.
Is that possible that I also had chlamydia
for 5 months before I got symptomes ??
Or she cheated?

Hey, I got tested a year ago for chlamidia
and it came back neg. I've been with the
same guy for 4 monthes before I got tested
and a year after. Now the Dr. Wants to
give me a chlamidia test because my cervix
is inflamed. The nurse said that it can
lay silent for a while. I'm not sure if
shes just saying that cuz she feels bad
saying "well you never know if your bf
cheated on you". Or if she really knows
what she's talking about, most of the time
when I ask her questions she has to get
the Dr. To answer it for me. I'm
actually posting stuff on here to see that
same thing? Cuz I dont want to be worried
about having chlamidia if I dont have to
be....

Chlamydia is known as a "silent" disease
because about three quarters of infected
women and about half of infected men have
no symptoms{the damage that chlamydia
causes is often "silent."} if symptoms do
occur, they usually appear within 1 to 3
weeks after exposure.
In women, the bacteria initially infect
the cervix and the urethra (urine canal).
Women who have symptoms might have an
abnormal vaginal discharge or a burning
sensation when urinating. When the
infection spreads from the cervix to the
fallopian tubes (tubes that carry eggs
from the ovaries to the uterus), some
women still have no signs or symptoms;
others have lower abdominal pain, low back
pain, nausea, fever, pain during
intercourse, or bleeding between menstrual
periods. Chlamydial infection of the
cervix can spread to the rectum.
Men with signs or symptoms might have a
discharge from their penis or a burning
sensation when urinating. Men might also
have burning and itching around the
opening of the penis. Pain and swelling
in the testicles are uncommon.
Men or women who have receptive anal
intercourse may acquire chlamydial
infection in the rectum, which can cause
rectal pain, discharge, or bleeding.
Chlamydia can also be found in the throats
of women and men having oral sex with an
infected partner.
How do people get it?
Chlamydia can be transmitted during
vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Chlamydia can
also be passed from an infected mother to
her baby during vaginal childbirth.
Any sexually active person can be infected
with chlamydia. The greater the number of
sex partners, the greater the risk of
infection. Because the cervix (opening to
the uterus) of teenage girls and young
women is not fully matured, they are at
particularly high risk for infection if
sexually active. Since chlamydia can be
transmitted by oral or anal sex, men who
have sex with men are also at risk for
chlamydial infection. Chlamydia can also
be found in the throats of women and men
having oral sex with an infected partner.
