On my way to work this morning I got a
phone call that devastated me. My doctor
called to tell me that I tested positive
for chlamydia. I am terrified. Not only
do I feel dirty but I am angry. In the
time frame that I contracted it ( I know
exactly where it came from) me and my ex
started talking and pretty much got back
together. Now that I know I have tested
positive I have to tell him and I don't
know how. I am afraid that he will hate
me and leave. How should I do this?

That's a very hard question to answer,
have you two had sex since you were
diagnosed? You definatly have to tell him
and he probally will be upset. Put
youself in his shoes something like this
would be a big shock so I wouldn't expect
him to totally understand. Also don't let
him make you feel bad and walk all over
you. This is a hard thing for you to deal
with and you never ment to contract it.
My advise be prepared for any situation
and be okay with the decision that is
made.
Good luck!!

Do you know if it effects him, even if
you're treated? I don't know much about
it but 2yrs ago I got my first exam &
they told me that I had excess discharge
& it was a very mild case of chlamydia
and said it can be treated with an
antibiotic but I didn't need it unless it
got bad. And I haven't had any problems
or any of my sexual partners being
affected at all. Anyway hun, I would
begin treating it before you have sex with
him long enough where he can't be
affected, personally. I would find out
all the facts of how affects you & him
so you can inform him. And deffinately
don't let him say anything like yur dirty
or slutty beacuse no matter if you have
had sex with 1 guy or 10 guys you are at
risk for std's, be strong & treat it.
I truly wish you the best on informing yur
boi if he's genuine he'll see that it
wasn't yur fault for getting it and yur
really torn up & feel awful inside
about it. Good luck, let me know if you
have any questions or feel like venting
about it aiight?
