i have chlamydia been my husband doesnt?

Question

i found out i had chlamydia 3months ago ive been with my husband to the clinic on two separate occasions and hes been told he doesnt have it. i HAVE NOT been unfaithfull, but i am confused to how i have it and he does not as we have sex regular,
is it possible to get chlamydia from any where other then sex and how is it possible for him not to have contracted it.
(and i have now been treated for it so no stupid answers please)

Answer 1

I have had the same problem with another infection and couldnt till this day find out who gave it to me or how I got it. It could be that he did contract it but his body fought it off easier than you. Who knows, the world of health works in mysterious ways. Just keep reassuring him that you didnt cheat and make sure you guys use condoms for a while so that in case he did contract it and the docs missed it you wont get it again. (ps...if these things arent treated on time it can develop into Pelvic Inflammatory Disease which can cause scarring around your fallopian tubes and stuff and eventually make you infertle.) Good luck with this one hun....stay safe and I hope you figure it out.

Answer 2

Don't play the fool and be like the girl in Seinfeld who's boyfriend told her she got Chlamydia from riding the tractor in her bathing suit.. You most likely got it from your husband and he already got treated. If like you say you haven't been messing around then that's the only way. You don't just get an STD out of the blue and The Clap doesn't lie dormant in your system like Herpes and some types of Genital Warts. Also contrary to popular belief you can not get STD's from a toilet seat..Once the std leaves the body the it doesn't live long...You would have to sit on it literally minutes after it got there...anyway your guy is cheating. Hate to be so brutally honest but its true. I've seen this hundreds of times and its always infidelity. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Unless you had sex with someone who was infected, or poured a culture of chlamydia into your vagina, you likely got it from your husband. He may be a silent carrier, or you may have been inadequately treated. Did your husband tell you that the clinic told him he didn't have it, or did a doctor or nurse tell you? Did he have a swab (like a qtip) inserted into his penis for a culture? or a swab for a dna probe? Or was this based on symptom alone? Don't take my word for it, here's the cdc link:

Answer 4

it is not possible to contract it from an outside source it is a STD, but Something is not right about this. Men will tend to be asymptomatic and continue to spread it without knowing. SO with this in mind he has it. One of you had to of contracted it some how. So both of you need to get treated, and have a LONG talk about this.

Answer 5

Its possible that you've had it for a long time but it was dormant. Not probable but possible.

Answer 6

that sounds strange if it was my girl and she got an std and i didnt have it id be mad as hell lol that sounds awful strange maybe you had it from a previous relationship but hten again how could he not of gotten it from you? very very strange

Answer 7

that's weord but poeple can carry it for years. Maybe he had it and got meds for it and didn't tell you?

Chlamydia


OVERVIEW
Chlamydia ("kla-MID-ee-uh") is a curable sexually transmitted infection (STI). You can get 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 infections in newborn babies of infected mothers.
Chlamydia is one of the most widespread bacterial STIs in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates 2.8 million people are infected each year.

CAUSE
Chlamydia is caused by bacteria called Chlamydia trachomatis.
SYMPTOMS
Chlamydia bacteria live in vaginal fluid and in semen. About 70 percent of chlamydial infections have no symptoms, thereby naming it the "silent" disease. Symptoms usually appear within 1 to 3 weeks after you are 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.
The bacterial infection may move inside your body if it is not treated.


In women, bacteria can infect the cervix and urinary tract in women. If the bacteria move into the fallopian tubes, they can cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) .

In men, bacteria can infect the urinary tract and the epididymis, causing epididymitis (inflammation of the reproductive area near the testicles).
PID and epididymitis are both very serious illnesses.

C. trachomatis also can cause inflammation of your rectum and lining of your eye (conjunctivitis or "pink eye"). The bacteria also can infect your throat if you have oral sexual contact with an infected partner.

DIAGNOSIS
Chlamydia is easily confused with gonorrhea because the symptoms of both diseases are similar and the diseases can occur at the same time.
The most reliable ways to find out whether the infection is chlamydia are through laboratory tests.


A health care provider may collect a sample of fluid from the vagina or penis and send it to a laboratory that will look for the bacteria.

Another test looks for the bacteria in a urine sample and does not require a pelvic exam or swabbing of the penis. Results are usually available within 24 hours.
TREATMENT
If you are infected with C. trachomatis , your health care provider will probably give you a prescription for an antibiotic such as azithromycin (taken for one day) or doxycycline (taken for 7 days). Or, you might get a prescription for another antibiotic such as erythromycin or ofloxacin.
Health care providers may treat pregnant women with azithromycin, erythromycin, or sometimes with amoxicillin. Penicillin, which health care providers often use to treat some other STIs, won't cure chlamydia.

If you have chlamydia, you should

Take all your medicine, even after symptoms disappear, for the amount of time prescribed
Go to your health care provider again if your symptoms do not disappear within 1 to 2 weeks after finishing all your medicine
Not have sex until your treatment is completed and successful
Tell your sex partners that you have chlamydia so they can be tested and treated, if necessary
These steps will help you avoid being reinfected with the bacteria. Repeated infections may increase the risks for reproductive complications.

For updated information on treatment for chlamydia, read the CDC STD Treatment Guidelines.

PREVENTION
The surest way to avoid getting an STI is to not have sexual contact or to be in a long-term, mutually monogamous relationship with a partner who has been tested and is not infected. You can reduce your chances of getting chlamydia or giving it to your partner by using male latex condoms correctly every time you have sexual intercourse.
Health care experts recommend all sexually active women 25 years of age and younger get chlamydia screening tests annually. They recommend an annual screening test for older women with risk factors for chlamydia (a new sex partner or many sex partners). In addition, all pregnant women should have a screening test for chlamydia.

If you have genital symptoms like burning while urinating or have a discharge, you should stop having sexual intercourse and see your health care provider immediately.

COMPLICATIONS
Each year up to 1 million women in the United States develop PID, a serious infection of the reproductive organs. Twenty to forty percent of women with chlamydial infections that are not adequately treated may develop PID.
PID can cause scarring of the fallopian tubes, which can block the tubes and prevent fertilization from taking place. Researchers estimate that 100,000 women each year become infertile because of PID.

In other cases, scarring may interfere with the passage of the fertilized egg to the uterus during pregnancy. When this happens, the egg may attach itself to the fallopian tube. This is called ectopic or tubal pregnancy. This very serious condition can result in miscarriage and can cause death of the mother.

In men, untreated chlamydia may lead to pain or swelling in the scrotal area. This is a sign of inflammation of the epididymis. Though complications in men are rare, infection could cause pain, fever, and sterility.

Complications in newborns

A baby who is exposed to C. trachomatis in the birth canal during delivery may develop an eye infection or pneumonia. Symptoms of an eye infection, called conjunctivitis, include discharge in the eye and swollen eyelids and 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.

i found this short piece, hope it helps.
