The first question I would ask is do you use protection with your partner? But I've known for two people to be involved with one another unprotected and one is positive while the other is negative. It's like this ( don't mean to get off the subject), but if someone have HIV/AIDS and they have unprotected sex with someone, that doesn't neccessarily mean that they will pass this disease on. They would be at higher risk of having it, but won't neccessarily have it because in order to pass this particular disease you have to have certain ACG levels in your system to pass it on. I figure that with StDs it goes the same way or maybe it's possible to have traces of chlamydia in your system but don't actually have it which may lead to a false positive. I had a similar case. I was going to a plasma center giving plasma and everything was fine, keep in mind they check it b/f giving it to someone. About three weeks later I was told that I possibly had syphyllis and to go to the clinic for a follow up to check. Well when I got there of course they drew blood and they gave me a quick test which gave results in 10 to fifteen minutes which came back negative. And I was then told to call back in seven days to get my bloodwork which also came back negative. So basically I was then told that I had traces of it in me but I didn't have it. Don't really know how that works all I know is I was negative so I didn't ask no further questions. Anyway I hope you find out what's wrong and I hope I shedded a little insight on this topic.
as everyone else has said...I also am currently going through the same situation. I had an std test about a year and a half to 2 years ago, it came back negative. Since then I have met the person that I feel very strongly is the one I want to spend the rests of my life with and have a family with....anyways. I have been completly faithful to him and when I went to the gyno the other week my tests came back positive for chlamydia. So of course we both assume that he had it from a previous partner and he also went and got tested, his tests came back negative!!! We have both been treated so I can't even go get retested! How does this happen? Now he thinks I have cheated on him and I just cant stand to lose the love of my life over something I did not even do. I do not blame him for thinking I cheated, because I think I would react the same way, but I just dont get it! Ive only been with him since my last test...how can i have it and he not? Has anyone found answers? Can anyone tell me how they got through this?
my husband admitted to having a one-night stand over a year ago. we have worked hard to save our marriage. following his indiscretions we both tested negative for a full std panel. now, pregnant with our second child, I have learned I am testing positive for chlamydia. my online research suggests the test for chlamydia is such a unique one, that it has a low false-positive rate...however...I am learning that the false-positive rate seems to increase in pregnant women. obviously, another test is in my very near future. stay strong everyone. doctors and medical professionals become desensitized over time and forget that you are person with concerns and feelings and a family. it is possible that one partner test positive and the other negative. it is possible that the infection laid dormant for up to several months. it is possible the test results are wrong. it is possible there was a mix-up in the lab. just take a second test or take your antibotics and live life normally.
Everything that I've read says that these results are almost always correct, but every time I mention Chlamydia someone tells me about how they tested positive even though there is no way they could have gotten it. This morning Health Services at my university called me and told me that I tested positive for Chlamydia when I went in for a routine smear. I have never had sex. I had oral sex one time over a year and a half ago and I have tested negative for Chlamydia several times since that occasion. I have an appointment tomorrow to do a retest and get treated, but these tests cannot be as accurate as doctors claim if so many people have had problems with inaccurate testings.
OMG.. this has just saved my relationship
I went for my normal smer and got a call asking to come in. I have tested positive :(
also with the smer i bled, she butchered me with the first contraption so had to use another.
My partner and I have been together for almost 5years and I know for a fact I have been faithful, My Partner got tested about 4-5months ago because he was really unwell.... and he came back negative for everything, (seen the results)
We also have not had unprotected sex for over 2years....
Im so confused and im currently on the border of depression again and this is not helping
I normally have a problem with thrush etc so im wondering if this has anything to do with it
I almost died when the doctor told me! I was disgusted! I felt dirty! Diseased! Cheated! just lucky i had my best friend with me
my last smer i never got a call back so Im guessing it was negative but now im scared maybe it wasnt.. Im going to contact that doctor surgery and get my results,
When we did have unprotected sex i was not on the pill and never fell preg so now im scared I may have had it from my ex (as the prick cheated on me) but then again we always were protected..
Over this stress.. and I have my period at the moment so I cant get retested yet. Im taking the drugs so if i get retested it would prob show up negitive anyways..
Seriolsly people if you are reading this.. you will be feeling the relief i am now...

kind of similar to me hay only. i got a urine sample to see if i had anything and it came bak negative but i still get random syptoms or an infections every now and then.. nothing major but i always just think to myself its all in my head and im paranoid cas wenever i think about it too much or convince myself i have somthing thats wen i get the symptons..... ahh????
i know everyone wrote their posts ages ago so it might seem silly that i'm writing mine now but it helped reading about everyone else. I wasn't sure if a test could come back and be incorrect but it looks like it can.....My boyfriend tested positive for gonorrhea and me negative. Until now I had no reason to think he had slept with anyone else but of course my initial reaction was to think this. He's adamant that he hasn't slept with anyone else in the four years we've been together but when the results are positive it is hard to believe this. But the fact that some of you have said that your tests have been positive but you know you've been faithfull has reassured me slightly....when we found out i was shocked and he was surprised I could think he would ever do that. Anyway some of you swear that you haven't cheated although your tests have been positive so maybe I should have a bit of faith. Just feel real hurt and confused.
IT seems to me that a UTI, Yeast infection, or pregnancy can make you test postive for chlamydia. I also had a similiar experience. I tested postive while the only person i could have gotten it from tested negative. Made no sense.
I just got a positive test result for gonorrhea. I have been with my boyfriend for 3 yrs and have never tested positive before. We have both been faithful and I am 100% sure of this. His doctor treated him today and pretty much told him that I must have cheated on him. He asked me and didn't believe my response that i didn't cheat on him at first, he is still skeptical. I'm so frustrated that i know he thinks i cheated even if he says he doesn't anymore. I can't understand how this could be happening since neither of us had done anything, but reading all this about false positives makes me feel like this could all be a misunderstanding. his result won't come in for a week. I'm going to get treated and retested tomorrow.
Yes, same thing happened to me.
My doctor said I was tested positive for chlamydia. I told my boyfriend, so he got tested, the result is negative. I havent slept with anyone for sure. But my boyfriend broke up with me thinking I cheated. He was the love of my life, I felt like hell because I lost someone over something I havent done. I really blame the medical field, but my anger wont bring him back. This is truely sad. :'( :'(

I'm so glad I have found this! In 2007 whilst pregnant I had swabs taken after a bleed. I was horrified to be told I had chlamydia! I had antibiotics and my fiance was tested with 2 swabs and treated however, his result was negative!!! I was so shocked and couldn't understand how this was possible. I have never cheated. I had another swab to check it had cleared which it did so that was the end, so I thought!
Just had a call from my gp as I had swabs taken last week so I could get a coil fitted and I have tested positive for it again! Don't see how as I had swabs taken in February cos I was pregnant again and nothing showed! Can't believe this has happened again I my fiance is the only person I have slept with in 8 years and hes been faithful to me. Obviously this is causing a lot of stress and grief!
Waiting for the doctor to re check my result but I think I will get re tested if she says its positive!
It seams that a lot of women are having this problem and there must be something causing it, I hate to think how many relationships have ended because of this. Also of the labs are mixing results up, people who are positive must be being told they are clear when they are infected!!!
I refuse to believe I have this.
Hope you all get it sorted xx

how can you say whether it's false positive or false negative if the usual procedure is to treat both partners straight away, just in case? I am really pi**ed off with my clinic, I know I was faithful yet tested positive, my boyfriend - who I cannot be sure about but I trust him - was tested negative. He split up with me and called me names yet I know I didn't have Chlamydia when we started dating (at least I did get tested and it was negative - yeah, great, it could have been false), now I have it - maybe - and he doesn't - maybe... why don't they run two tests straight away, contracting two independent labs, if there's so many false results??? Now I'll never find out which one of us was given the false result but one of us must have...
I went to the Dr a couple days ago. Got called in today, and my test results said I was positive for chlamydia. I was shocked since 3 weeks before when I was having some troubles, I was tested negative! How could my test change within 3 weeks?? When I asked the Dr she told me that it was because I had gotten it within those 3 weeks. I have been in a steady relationship for over 7 months now, and I KNOW that neither of us has cheated, how is this possible?? Without saying it, the Dr told me that the only way you can get this is by sex, and that I did get it in the last 3 weeks, and that it was my boyfriend if it wasn't me that strayed.
I went home knowing full well that there was either a mistake with the last test, or one with the new test. It just wasn't possible! My boyfriend went to the clinic later that day and got tested and also got the meds. The Dr there was much more helpful. He told me that it is common to have a false negative. He said that once its positive though, its positive. No such thing as false positive. I mentioned to the him that I had been told by my Dr that I might have had a minor yeast infection in the last couple weeks that went away on its own. He told me that that was likely the cause of the false negative. When there is yeast in the way, the test can come back negative.
I just wanted everyone to know this. YES your test can come back negative once then be positive again. No one cheated in my relationship, and no one cheated in yours either! This was a past problem that showed no signs or symptoms, either partner could have been carrying it for sometime before the test. FALSE NEGATIVES DO HAPPEN!

My husband and I just got married and then pregnant right away, we've been together 5 years. I went in for my first pregnancy exam and they tested me for chlamydia and other things. Also gave me medication for a yeast infection. Two days later they called me to let me know that i was positive for chlamydia and they wanted to test me again with a urine sample. Just got those results back and they were negative. We've been going crazy for the last few days because we both know we haven't had sexual relations with anyone one else and we didn't know if we could trust each other. I also have been tested yearly over the last few years with negative results and the last negative result was 3 months ago. I'm so glad we have a doctor that knows you should test again.
