My first time being positive for an STD.. Help
Posted: Fri Oct 14, 2016 5:32 pm
Hi so I'm new to this and I'm pretty scared to talk to someone about this.
I'm 20 years old and last week was my first time at a gyno and wanted to get tested for STDs and etc.
I've only had 2 sexual partners in the past 3 years. The first guy I was with got tested since we didn't use condoms and I'm not on the pill and everything came back negative, so I didn't get tested myself since I was only with him. We then broke up in March 2015 and I didn't have sex for a year and 3 months. I recently have been seeing a guy since June 2016 and we don't use condoms either. However, he's had more sexual partners than the 2 (him and my ex) that I have and which is why I decided to get tested.
I went to my gyno yesterday so she can read me my result and it came back positive for chlamydia. She told me I shouldn't worry since it is treatable and prescribed me with a single dose antibiotic and told me my partner should get treated too. When I spoke to him about it, he kept telling me he felt fine and that he knew for sure he didn't have it, but I thought I didn't have it either since I didn't show symptoms. So, he just went to get tested at a planned parenthood today and said the test should come back in a week. Is it possible he doesn't have it and it's only me? Should I be scared for having chlamydia since STDs are a very serious thing?
Thank you for taking the time to read this and so sorry that its so long. I'm really worried
