Hi, i'm a new member here and decided to
ask a few questions i'm confused about. I
recently (this past friday) found out I
might have chlamedya so I went to the
doctor today and she gave me 4 hot pink
pills to be taken all at once. I did
that. I also took a urine sample and a
blood test to the lab. I'm waiting on the
results. I haven't felt any symptoms yet
and I know they can be silent/dormant for
a while. I've only been intimate with 2
people my whole life.
The person that told me to get checked out
has not had intercourse in around 2 yrs
with anyone else but me in february. He
found out this week because he got a
kidney infection a month ago and through
further tests, they told him he had it.
My questions are:
is it possible for a male to carry
chlamedya for over 2 years and not know
about it at all? Also, is it possible to
get chlamedya without having intercourse?
What i'm thinking is that maybe the guy
that had the kidney infection has been
carrying it for over 2 years and never
knew and then blew out by causing the
kidney infection?
Please, i'd like some ideas on this. I'm
pretty confused and new on all of this.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks.

Yes, he probably could.
A recent survey of young army recruit
proved that approx 10% had chlamydia.
For a lot of men there will be no symptoms
at all, but some will experience mild
dicomfort in the end of the penis - even
then that may only last for a couple days.
