I was diagnosed almost a year ago and
treated. I have not been in a
relationship for several months after.
I had my yearly exam and I was positive
for the infection and given the
antibiotics again.
I contacted my last partner and he wasn't
infected. So I didn't get it from him, yet
he didn't get it from me. Is it possible
that the antibiotics didn't work and the
infection recurred months later?

yes it is possible. Usually when you have
been treated with anti-biotics they will
test you again to ensure that it was
entirely cleared up. Were you tested again
right after you finished your course of
anti-biotics?

I didn't get tested again until recently.
I'll make sure I do that this time, I have
already scheduled some time.
Why was my last partner so lucky not to
get it from me?

It's really hard to give a definitive
answer. Having sex with a condom often
prevents transmission, it could also
depend on how many times you had
intercourse, the more times you did it the
greater the chance for him to contract it.
Although it could be due to the fact that
it is easier for women to contract STI's
from men than it is for men to contract
STI's from women.
