Chlamydia- I Need Some Advice -
Posted: 01-13-07 14:34pm

Can any1 out there help me with this question, I have been with my boyfriend for 3 years and as far as I am aware neither of us has had any other partner in that time. About 3 months ago he got tested and he showed up positive with chlamydia so a few weeks ago I went to the doc and got tested but I was clean and negative for chlamydia. The thing is that he has moved to another city so we only see each other at the weekends and also in the last few months I have come off the pill meaning that we have been using condoms. He swears that he was not with any1 else and I am tending to believe him but I dont think I should. Can you become infected from a towel or another other way besides having sex??? He also thinks that the test may have been wrong or the doctor could have lied about the results in order to get him to buy the medication from his pharmacy next door to his practice. Any advice as I am seriously confused about the whole thing becasue I dont think he cheated but can it be explained any other way. Is there a possibility that he had it before our relationship and I didn't get it in the last 3 years???
Thanks to any1 with any advice.

A doctor can't 'lie' about a diagnosis. What would the purpose be? To sell some antibiotics? He can lose his license for an offense like that, so I doubt that was what happened. Besides, how much did the antibiotics cost? Not very much in the big scheme of things, that is for sure.

If your boyfriend has chlamydia and you don't, but you've had a relationship where you were active without condoms until recently (when he moved), I think you know the answer yourself. If he'd had chlamydia in the past, he'd have given it to you. Especially if you were having a sexual relationship without condoms for 3 years.

You can not get chlamydia from a towel or a toilet seat. It is called a 'sexually transmitted' disease for a reason. It is transmitted sexually.

Thanks for the reply!
What are the chances of my test being wrong? And also the chances that I couldn't have been infected in the 3 years? Are there any?

- about 60 percent of men and 40 percent of women will have an affair at some point in a relationship

i would bet everything I own that he cheated on you. It's too obvious. You shouldn't even have doubts about this one.
