Answers:
Chlamydia and HIV are two different things!. One can never turn into the other!. What you read/heard is that people with Chlamydia or any other STD are more likely to contract HIV when exposed to it!. That's because STD's lower your immunity!. STD's cause you have sores, bleeding, etc!. These sores and such give STD's(including HIV) a more direct path into your bloodstream!.

So, if you have Chlamydia, then you are more likely to catch HIV than someone without an STD!. Either way, make sure he has finished his medication and been re-tested(negative result) before you two have sex again!. And if you have it, you do the same!.

You can't tell how long you've had an STD and who gave it to you unless he's the only person you've had unprotected sex with or since your last tests!. Just make sure you get tested for HIV, herpes, Gonorrhea, syphilis and HPV too!. And use condoms next time!.

Don't panic!. =-)

That's your choice wether to leave him or not!. If he was cheating on you, I don't blame you!. But if you're not sure who gave it to who, then you can't really judge!. No one expects for something like this to happen to them!. Trust me!. I felt the same way!. (you feel dirty, embarassed, angry) But, take it as a lesson that you can never trust wether someone is with or without an STD but yourself!. Even if you two get tested together and see each others results, you don't know for sure what they're doing when you're not around!. Plus HIV can take awhile to show up on tests!.

You must protect your health at all costs!. Condoms everytime, k!? =)

Last edit: Don't think that because you felt fine, you didn't have an STD before him!. Most STD's have little to no symptoms!. The only sure way to tell, is if u get tested!. I had the symptoms of Chlamydia(lower back pain, and very slight bleeding) and didnt even think I had an STD!. I was in the small percent of those who get the symptoms!. I thought it was another UTI!. So, ya never know!. If it ever happens again though, you have no one to blame but yourself (whether they were unfaithful or not) because you didnt use a condom!.

Stop stressing! At least there's a cure for that!.

OK, last one!. lol!: Forget asking him for his "papers"!. You really want to trust your health on someone else's health record or word!? You just take care of you!. It's not uncommon for someone with Chlamydia to also have Gonorrhea!. (My ex had Herpes as well!. And the only reason he found out is because he had an outbreak!. Had the outbreak because he stressed about me having Chlamydia, which he gave me) Ask for all test that the docs are willing to give!. The main ones being Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, HIV, Syphillis, Herpes, HPV!. Just a lil blood and pelvic exam!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

One STD can not become another STD!. If you have any particular STD, it will not "turn into" HIV!. However, symptoms of some STDs make your body more vulnerable to HIV infection, meaning that if you have unprotected sex with someone who has HIV, you are more likely to contract HIV!. (However, you can not get an STD from someone who does not have an STD!.)

You should be tested for ALL STDs, not just chlamydia and HIV!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Chlamydia does not turn into HIV if left untreated!. You could develop PID ( pelvic inflammatory disease) which causes extreme pain and could cause infertility!. You are at risk to get HIV because you and your partner do not use condoms and/or not in a monogamous relationship!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You could test positive for Chlamydia!. You would not test positive for HIV unless he has that as well!. The two are different STD's!. Basically someone has to have a certain STD to transmit it to you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
