January 29th, 2007
I just got diagnosed with chlamydia and I truely dont know where or how I got it. First of all I am in a long term relationshipwith my wife and we are very faithful. I stake my life on her fidelity and I know where I have been. I just dont understand it. I am really crushed right now, not because I beleive she cheated on me, but because I know she will think I cheated on her. Is there any other way to contract this, such as through liquid excretions touching the penis, or could it have laid dorment for a long peroid of time only to come forward now? I am so scared that this will destroy my relationship it has set me into a very deep depression. I just need to know from a medical stand point that this may have come across another way. I have read on various other sites that it can be left in say ejactualant of urine and if mated with the penis/vagina qickly it may become contracted, is this true? I am utterly depressed right now. Don't anyone accusse her of cheating either, I know she hasn't. Trust me I know. Can I please get some medical advice on this. Please someone out there help me. I am so lost and depressed right now, I need some serious help, also for my childrens sake, I am so concerned.

People can get chlamydia through vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Most people who have it don't even have symptoms, so either one of you could have had it for quite some time without knowing. Make sure both you and your wife get treated, as chlamydia is especially serious for women. It can cause irreversible damage to the female body. You might have to use condoms for ten days during treatment to give the meds time to work to decrease your chances of reinfecting each other. It is recommended that people get retested after getting treated.

i recently had it so I know how you feel. When I told my doc what I should do about the recent girls I had been with without a condom, he said inform them to get checked up and then just worry about your self. Thats all you can do. So I did and now im moving on and learning from my mistakes. Once you find a way of telling her if you havent already by now. Its best to inform anyone that you both have slept with prior before you 2 got serious. Its only responsible enough to do so. You dont know how far back you could of gotten it and had no symtoms still, but if you have had it for some time chance's are your prior partners have passed it on. Just be sure to do the right then ...

I know I dont think I know all my stuff about this because im actually new to this and never of thought I would cetch something. This has changed my life for the better and made me smarter. Im just passing on what I was told to you. I hope you can get through this and still keep your relationship strong. Good luck Wink
