Can tests miss chlamydia?!
Question:
Can tests miss chlamydia?
I was tested in July 2006 and was negative. My ex (who I last had contact with in Spring 2006 had it in November 2006). He called me to let me know. I got tested again in November and was negative again. I had my annual again this past July (2007) and I had it. I have been with my current boyfriend since I broke up with my last one. He was tested in April 2007 and did not have it. Could I have had it since Spring 2006 and the tests just missed it? If that is the case two of my tests and my boyfriend's test missed it because if I had it he would too since we never use protection. Is this possible or do you think I got it from my current boyfriend (eventhough his test in April was negative) He said he hasnt cheated on me and I explained how serious the complications of this can be for me and he repeated that he hasnt cheated. I believe him. When did I get this? AND if I have had it for that long the chances of my fertility being messed are pretty high right?
Answers:
Yes, the guy that gave it to me tested negative for it. Normally in that case though, they are still treated. Everyone needs to be tested again, and stop having sex until you know for sure!
