Were you tested specifically for chlamydia?
It is possible that he had it and it never got passed to you until now. (This is pretty rare but can happen) 1/2 of men who have chlamydia have no symptoms at all; others have symptoms so mild they aren't noticeable.
Worrying about it is just going to make it worst. Best thing to do is see what his results say. Then you will know for sure!

OK...when you were four months pregnant...you got tested for std's...that test was negative...two months go by...and got tested again...and the results came back as you having chlamydia...so what test results are you waiting for...do some research and find out about that std...ask your doctor questions...remember no question is stupid...the more you know the better you can prepare yourself...for whatever comes next....don't be scared...you are not the first...and you are not going to be the last...
The only way a doctor is wrong...is if the lab contaminated the sample...and if that was the case...I don't think that the doctor will give you false information...
Just because you got a negative test for std's two months ago...doesn't mean that you can't catch a std...especially if you are still sexually active with your husband...plus, if he is the only person that you have sex with...
Take care and good luck!

Chlamydia (“kla-MID-ee-uh”) is a curable sexually transmitted infection (STI), which is caused by bacteria called Chlamydia trachomatis. You can get genital chlamydial infection during oral, vaginal, or anal sexual contact with an infected partner. It can cause serious problems in men and women, such as penile discharge and infertility respectively, as well as in newborn babies of infected mothers.
Chlamydia bacteria live in vaginal fluid and in semen. Chlamydia is sometimes called the “silent” disease because you can have it and not know it. Symptoms usually appear within 1 to 3 weeks after being infected. Those who do have symptoms may have an abnormal discharge (mucus or pus) from the vagina or penis or experience pain while urinating. These early symptoms may be very mild.
Chlamydia is easily confused with gonorrhea because the symptoms of both diseases are similar and the diseases can occur together, though rarely.
The most reliable ways to find out whether the infection is chlamydia are through laboratory tests.
• The usual test is for a health care provider to collect a sample of fluid from the vagina or penis and send it to a laboratory that will look for the bacteria.
• The other test looks for bacteria in a urine sample and does not require a pelvic exam or swabbing of the penis, and results are available within 24 hours.
you decide...A baby who is exposed to C. trachomatis in the birth canal during delivery may develop an eye infection or pneumonia. Symptoms of conjunctivitis, which include discharge and swollen eyelids, usually develop within the first 10 days of life.
Symptoms of pneumonia, including a cough that gets steadily worse and congestion, most often develop within 3 to 6 weeks of birth. Health care providers can treat both conditions successfully with antibiotics. Because of these risks to the newborn, many providers recommend that all pregnant women get tested for chlamydia as part of their prenatal care.

Ask your Doc about the test she/he ran two months ago, was if for Chlamydia?
It is possible to pick up Chlamydia without sexual intercourse. It is rare but it is possible. I am not sure how long you two have been together, but you can haceChlamydia for years before you know. So you both might have it and both might have had it since before you were together. Below is some information on Chlamydia.
What is chlamydia?
Chlamydia is a bacterial infection that is spread by sexual contact. It is the most common sexually transmitted disease (STD) in the United States. Chlamydia infects the urethra in men and the urethra, cervix, or upper reproductive organs (or all three) in women. Chlamydia can also infect the rectum and the surface of the eyes and lining of the eyelids (conjunctiva).
An infected mother can pass chlamydia to her baby at birth. Between 50% and 75% of babies born to mothers with chlamydia get the infection. They may have it in the eyes, back of the throat, rectum, or vagina. Between 30% and 40% of babies infected with chlamydia at birth develop complications, such as conjunctivitis or pneumonia. 1
Having chlamydia increases your risk of becoming infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) if you are exposed to HIV. 1
Risk factors for getting chlamydia include:
Having unprotected sex (not using condoms).
Having more than one sex partner.
Having a high-risk partner or partners. This includes people who have more than one sex partner or sex partners who have chlamydia.
Starting sexual activity before age 18.
What causes chlamydia?
Chlamydia is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. The disease can be spread during vaginal, anal, or oral sex with an infected partner. A pregnant woman can pass the infection to her newborn during vaginal delivery. Infection is rare during cesarean delivery, unless the amniotic sac (membranes) have broken.
You can spread chlamydia even if you do not have symptoms. You are contagious until you have been treated. Condoms may help reduce the spread of chlamydia.
What are the symptoms?
Up to 90% of women and men with chlamydia do not have symptoms. 2 As a result, they may unknowingly spread chlamydia to their sex partners. When symptoms do occur, they may include:
Painful urination.
Cloudy urine.
Abnormal discharge from the urethra in men.
Abnormal discharge from the urethra or the cervix (or both) in women.
How is chlamydia diagnosed?
Your doctor will ask you questions about your medical and sexual history, such as how many partners you have. You also may have a physical examination. Women have a gynecological exam to look for signs of infection. Men have a genital exam to look for discharge from the penis and tenderness in the scrotum.
Several types of tests can be used to diagnose a chlamydia infection. Most use a sample of fluid from the urethra or the cervix. This requires that a woman have a pelvic exam. A urine test also can be done if there is no other reason to have a pelvic or genital exam. Test results are usually ready in 2 to 3 days—except for the chlamydia culture, which can take 5 to 7 days.
Low-cost tests are usually available at local health departments and family planning clinics.
How is it treated?
Chlamydia is treated with antibiotics. If taken exactly as directed, antibiotics can cure a chlamydia infection. The infection will not be cured if antibiotics are not taken as directed. Prompt treatment also stops the spread of the infection and reduces complications, such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
Having a chlamydia infection that was cured does not protect you from a future infection. A new exposure to chlamydia will reinfect you, even if you were treated and cured.
Experts recommend that you notify all partners with whom you had sex in the 60 days since your symptoms or diagnosis; if you have not had sex in the last 60 days, contact your last sexual partner. This prevents reinfection. If your symptoms continue after treatment, you probably have been infected again. It does not mean the first treatment failed. If you have chlamydia, avoid all sexual contact or use condoms until you and your partner (or partners) have finished the full course of medication.

If he is a husband then you should know his different looks in different situations, how he reacts when he weren't telling the truth to someone else. His actions around you. If none of these different things are present then he is probably telling the truth, Or just ask him about what you think he is lying about and see how he reacts to the question.
