BF has chlamydia, I don't....

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend went to the Dr last week, and they tested him for STD's. He got his results back today and it showed positive for Chlamydia. I had to go in and take 2 pills. Since my boyfriend swears up and down that he has never cheated on me, and he got it before he and I got together, I asked the nurse if it was possible for Chlamydia to stay dormant for 9 months. She said it was possible for him to have it this long and not know. But, after I left the office I started wondering, I was tested for this in Oct. because I went in for a UTI and the nurse asked me for safe measure if I wanted to get tested for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea, I agreed and I tested negative. Now, 6 weeks later he tests positive. Is it possible for him to have it this long, and me not catch it? He'd never tell me if he cheated, and I know the nurses won't either.

Chlamydia is known as a "silent" disease because about three quarters of infected women and about half of infected men have no symptoms. If symptoms do occur, they usually appear within 1 to 3 weeks after exposure. It is possible for it to go unrecognized which is why he wasn't tested in the first place. 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, which is why it's often confused with a UTI and never diagnosed. 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.

There are some facts that will tell you all about it. How long have you been with him? He would have had symptoms a few weeks after he contracted it.

Yea I agree that def sounds fishy to me. Why risk it? I'd dump him if I were you, I don't think you'd ever completely trust him after this.You've even said yourself "He'd never tell me if he cheated" so I don't think you trust him already. Unless you're deeply in love, this would be a good time to break it off.

So true. That statement says it all. It is possible you have a resistance to it, but it is unlikely. I had sex with my boyfriend who had chlamydia, once, without protection, and I caught it straight away.
