Answer 1

The symptoms appear pretty quickly- he'd know if he had it for 'years'. Talk to a gyno about it. If he'd had it for years, he would have been very sick by the time be was diganosed. Even if the infection hadn't spread to other parts of his body, he would have been swollen, had serious trouble urinating, and have some serious leakage going on. He definately would have noticed something was wrong, and you probally would've noticed too! What prompted him to go get tested after dealing with it 'on and off' for years? Besides that, I'm sure he's been on antibiotics some time in the past few years- most people have. That would've taken care of the infection. I sincerely doubt he's had it for years. Your dealing with a cheater and a liar, girl. It is possible that he's had it for months- how long have you been dating? could he have gotten it from an ex without cheating? But if you've been dating for any lenghth of time... he cheated, and with someone dirty. Unless you want more stds from him- incurable ones!- leave him. At the very least, demand he get tested for the whole range of stds, and ask to see the results on paper. Until you see a clean bill of health, don't go near him. Men like that carry herpes and HIV.

HELLO, I'M SAD THAT YOUR BOYFRIEND GAVE IT TO YOU. THERE ARE TREATMENTS FOR IT;
What Is It?
Chlamydia (pronounced: kluh-mid-ee-uh) is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that is caused by bacteria called Chlamydia trachomatis. Although you may not have heard its name, chlamydia is one of the most common STDs. Because there often aren't any symptoms, though, lots of people can have chlamydia and not know it.

The bacteria can move from one person to another through sexual intercourse, and possibly through oral-genital contact. If someone touches bodily fluids that contain the bacteria and then touches his or her eye, a chlamydial eye infection is possible. Chlamydia also can be passed from a mother to her baby while the baby is being delivered. This can cause pneumonia and conjuntivitis, which can become very serious for the baby if it's not treated. You can't catch chlamydia from a towel, doorknob, or toilet seat.

How Does a Girl Know She Has It?
It can be difficult for a girl to know whether she has chlamydia because most girls don't have any symptoms. Chlamydia may cause an unusual vaginal discharge or pain during urination. Some girls with chlamydia also have pain in their lower abdomens, pain during sexual intercourse, or bleeding between menstrual periods. Sometimes a chlamydia infection can cause a mild fever, muscle aches, or headache.

How Does a Guy Know He Has It?
Like a girl, a guy can also have a difficult time telling whether he has chlamydia. Some guys may have a discharge from the tip of the penis (the urethra — where urine comes out), or experience itching or burning sensations around the penis. Rarely, the testicles may become swollen. Many times, a guy with chlamydia may have few or no symptoms, so he might not even know he has it.

When Do Symptoms Appear?
Someone who has contracted chlamydia may see symptoms a week later. In some people, the symptoms take up to 3 weeks to appear, and many people never develop any symptoms.

What Can Happen?
If left untreated in girls, chlamydia can cause an infection of the urethra (where urine comes out) and inflammation (swelling and soreness caused by the infection) of the cervix. It can also lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which is an infection of the uterus, ovaries, and/or fallopian tubes. PID can cause infertility and ectopic (tubal) pregnancies later in life.

If left untreated in guys, chlamydia can cause inflammation of the urethra and epididymis (the structure attached to the testicle that helps transport sperm).

How Is It Treated?
If you think you may have chlamydia or if you have had a partner who may have chlamydia, you need to see your family doctor, adolescent doctor, or gynecologist. Some local health clinics, such as Planned Parenthood, can also test and treat people for chlamydia.

The doctor will do an exam that may include swabbing the vagina or penis for secretions, which will then be analyzed. Sometimes doctors can diagnose chlamydia by testing a person's urine. Talk to your doctor about which test is best for you.

If you are diagnosed with chlamydia, the doctor will prescribe antibiotics, which should clear up the infection in 7 to 10 days. Anyone with whom you've had sex will also need to be tested and treated for chlamydia because that person may be infected but not have any symptoms. This includes any sexual partners in the last 2 months or your last sexual partner if it has been more than 2 months since your last sexual experience. It is very important that someone with a chlamydia infection abstain from having sex until they and their partner have been treated.

If a sexual partner has chlamydia, quick treatment will reduce his or her risk of complications and will lower your chances of being reinfected if you have sex with that partner again. (You can become infected with chlamydia again even after you have been treated because having chlamydia does not make you immune to it.)

It's better to prevent chlamydia than to treat it, and the only way to completely prevent the infection is to abstain from all types of sexual intercourse. If you do have sex, use a latex condom every time. This is the only birth control method that will help prevent chlamydia.

Yo man well hes lying he would have detected that by Untreated chlamydia in men typically causes infection of the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the body. Infection sometimes spreads to the tube that carries sperm from the testis. This may cause pain, fever, and even infertility.
Sweetie just go get checked and I hope nothing is wrong with you honestly, you didn't deserve what he has done to you

Answer 5

I got diagnosed with herpes virus (type 2) about 6 yrs ago, while I was still attending college and had a mindless one-night stand. I realize loads of girls will say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a massive mistake that one time and all of a sudden it seemed like I was going to have to live with the consequences for my entire life. The worst part was feeling I could never date men again. In the end, who wants to go out with a girl that has sores round her private parts? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/4zbou everything changed.

Not only was I able to eradicate all traces of the hsv from my body in less than three weeks, but I was also able to start dating once more. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so fortunate to write that just a week ago, in front of everyone in a busy restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This system gave me back the opportunity to be happy and experience real love. Now I want to help you too by sharing this with the World.

Answer 6

One of you has cheated or at least had multiple partners. How difficult it must have been to endure this pain for over a year. I don't know where you are living, except abroad, but isn't there a way to talk to a doctor about getting you some relief? Maybe, when you say you've dated "on and off" for a year, those "off" periods were "on" times for your boyfriend to 'date' someone else? There are several possibilities how you got it, but try to get something to give you relief.

Answer 7

chlamydia does not come and go, it just stays. Although people can have it for years without any symptoms. I would not rule out cheating, what made him decide to go get tested?? Perhaps he knew he had unprotected sex and knew he needed to get checked. Now you need to go get checked. Dont worry though, chlamydia is curable.

Answer 8

Men can have std's longer and have them go undetected unlike women who will have symptoms right away. But I wouldnt rule out cheating.

Answer 9

50% of men and 70% of women have no symptoms of chlamydia,the unfortunate thing is that if one does not know they could end up infertile.

Answer 10

Chlamydia will go away if treated.. its not like herpes or anything if u go get trested you should be ok with in a week..
