Hi, thank you all for sharing! I too recently went through a similar experience, my partner was having symptoms of an infection, having to urinate frequently, burning sensation, it had come and gone a couple times, within a few month period. He finally we to the Clinic and the doctors told him they would treat him for gonorreah- before they even got the test results back. He told me right away of the " diagnosis" the next day I went to get tested for std's when questioned why I told the doctor that my partner had been treated the previous day for gonorreah, but that I felt fine and had never experienced any symptoms. They took blood and urine samples and tested me for everything. The doctor said that since my partner was treated for gonorreah, they were going to administer the shot and antibiotics for it as well. We both got our test results back a few days later and we are both clear of any std's. What worries me is that the doctors were so
Quick to diagnose and treat us both for something with unverifiable test results. This can cause a lot of harm, actually causing an antibiotic resistant bacteria when testing people with out the said bacteria present. I also experienced very unpleasant side effects for a week following the shot. What the hell? Lesson learned... Don't be so quick to blindly trust your doctors! Ask question get second opinions.

Don't feel bad. I am a 55 year old grandma who stopped having sex many years ago. I went to the ER because I had what I thought was a UTI but to me surprise I was told it was Chlamydia. Now, I know I haven't had sex in a hell of a long time so for the snarky nurse to tell me I have a sexually transmitted disease without having sex is laughable. Only... I'm NOT laughing! As a matter of fact, I'm mad as hell that they don't believe me. If I was having sex at my age that would be something to brag about... not deny! So obviously, they made a huge mistake with my labs.

I am facing the same situation. more than 2 years ago, I got STD tests before actually have sex with my bf. Chlamydia result was negative but recently he was tested positive after irritations happened to him. I'm quite sure that despite we are often apart as we worked in different areas, we are both faithful to each other. I trust that he is faithful and so do I know I had been. So this news is very traumatizing and he is now questioning if I cheated on him. I am going get tested, but since he has it, I will have to be on medication anyway.
My question is whether it is possible that there is false positive for him/ false negative for me? Can the disease be hidden or temporary cured during the time I got tested? I saw some articles saying that some women can fight the disease without treatment for some period of time until re-infection happened. The reason I am asking about myself more than my partner is that I had 2 relationships before him and the guys were definitely having other women during the course of the relationships.
I'm devastated because my bf needs proof but to be honest, I can proof it. Such as if I got positive next test but why was it negative before? I love my bf so much and since he had impression of me having random history, I have cut of dates with guy friends and only met them for group functions. I don't know what can I do to recover the trust now and it depresses me.

Going through that now! My ex fiancé and I broke up we tested negetive, and a week after my current check up I get a call I tested positive for chalmydia... there's a six month gap in between two test ... well my new boyfriend and had sex for the first time in that week time span. He didn't handle it soo cool like and our relationship is most likely over. I had to call my ex and talk to him he sent me the results of his test which where negetive so I got a new test done and I was negetive as well... apparently when these test are done with Pap smears the sample gets contaminated. Think medicine could have better ways of testing.

I noticed that most people commenting on this thread have experienced bizarrse test results and are waiting more. Not many come back with the end of the story.

When me and my partner had only starting to court about 6 months back she informed me she had done a test and everything was clear.

3 months ago my partner had the merina fitted in her cervix (form of contraception). Before this was done she again had to have another series of tests, again all clear.

After the dust settled a few weeks later, she felt uncomfortable with her vagina and had some tests done, it turned out she had thrush and again no chlamydia. After treating the thrush it had cleared for a short while, but it shortly came back.

She asked me to go to the clinic test for thrush and other STI tests to find out more information. A week later I received a phone call saying that I had chlamydia.. but no thrush.
I know I haven't been unfaithful and have only had a few sexual partners and my last relationship lasted almost 4 years. I assumed that there was very very little chance I brought it into the relationship.

At first I doubted her, (only because I had a positivite test result for and STI) but we discussed (argued) and we decided to treat it, settle it and move on. We both knew we hadn't cheated and trusted each other. We decided to blame that the tests are not 100% accurate, even though she had done a few!!

We both went to the clinic the same day, took the appropriate meds and taken another test.

2 days later she recieved a test from the clinic for her results (one she had posted the same time I sent mine away). She was in the clear....

I was gutted that I have had chlamydia for years and worried about being sterile..


Anyways the results came back today from last weeks test and I am in the clear from chlyamida..

Either they got the thrush results mixed up or made a complete penis up.
Long story short, it's not 100 per cent accurate and mistakes can be made

This just happened to me. I've been in a relationship for almost a year now with a guy that I love very much. I was going to get an IUD inserted this week, and so they gave me a gonorrhea and chlamydia test a few days ago before the procedure. I wasn't worried at all beforehand, because I had just gotten tested 4 months ago and my boyfriend had just gotten tested 2 months ago, and both of our tests indicated we were clean. However, two days later I get a call from my doctor saying that I tested positive for both chlamydia and gonorrhea. I was horrified, and called my boyfriend right away to accuse him of cheating on me. I hadn't so much as kissed anyone else since we first started dating, and knew that if I got it, it had to be from him sleeping with someone else in the past two months. He denied any infidelity, and pointed out that we use condoms every time and are unlikely to spread disease even if one of us was infected, so we both made appointments to get retested. Sure enough, I got a call from my doctor tonight saying that the testing lab screwed up and that I was actually clean. Their mistake nearly cost me my relationship. Remember that those reports on the accuracy of STD testing generally don't take human error into account. If you're unsure, always get a second opinion

How cute at the end in parentheses! I never completely trust the doctors! They are only human after all!

Just had a scare. BF tested positive for Chlamydia during a routine physical. Neither of us could believe it. My last test 2 yrs ago was negative. We've been together for 12 yrs. no doubts about fidelity. So obviously we were upset amd confused. I got tested and he got retested. Both negative.

I was with my boyfriend for a year. He wanted a break over time and over the break I found out I was pregnant, over a period of time the baby passed away. He slept with 3 girls over that short period of time. He completely broke me on numerous occasions. He broke up with me around our 1 and half mark, so because I thought I might have been pregnant again I went to the doctors. I’ve only been with him. My tests came back positive for chlamydia. I contacted him and he bullied me . Telling me I cheated when I know I was never unfaithful too him. Over time he said he went to the doctors and he got “mistested” because he didn’t pee up to a certain line ... bs.. so he said he went back . Today he sent me a video of the paper stating his was negative, he continued to bully me . But it makes no sense.. help please.

Me and my partner tested positive for chlamydia 4 months ago. We had broken up and started talking to other ppl so where it came from we didn't really know. We took the antibiotics and tests after about two weeks came back negative twice but then 4 months later I tested positive for it again. How? Idk. Me and my bf are together 24/7 and sleep every night together.

Hi, I went in to the doctor because a cough, he listened and prescribed azithromyacin. he said bronchitis...
They look @ my records and saw that I never taken a STD Test but my wife has . Within that conversation the nurse practitioner said ,'take one your wife did it'. It won't I got nothing to hide but why would my wife take one.
so I took it . Everything from HIV, Herpes came back negative except one and that was the one that ruined my marriage. I couldn't believe it I'm like how I just been with my wife, so I told like any normal husband would and I said I'm confused. I set an appointment that day to talk to the Nurse Practitioner to explain the results. all my wife kept saying was his truly positive and she said yes. Then we took the test again . By now my wife left me and right now we in the process separating accounts and so on.. My results came back today and they are negative..I'm lost.I go back to show my wife and she won't bother to look she says was is done but she hasn't told me her results. I give.........up...........this test ruined everything .... maybe she's just using it as an excuse...
