I am jsut so confused and scared........... please help me.


Answers:

One of the men you have been with has the disease. Men are often aysmptomatic and testing men is more difficult then women.
To test a man for the most commen STD's (Chlamydia and Gonorrhea) you insert a cotton swab into the penis and try to collect a sample of bacteria and then put it on a sample plate to see if it grows Gonorrhea or Chlamydia. If the man has recently urinated or if a poor sample was obtained then the test will be negative. The test is not very accurate for the reasons.
In order to have Chlamydia you have to have been exposed to someone with the disease. If you have(or had) Chlamydia and had sex with your boyfriend, he now has it even if he is not showing symptoms.
You probably are not going to get a clear answer as to who actually gave you the disease, however all of your current partners need to get treated or else you will get the disease again.
The treatment is simple, cheap and effective. Just let this be a lesson to you to be careful. There are many STD's out there that are not so easy to get rid of.
