my
sister recently contracted chlamydia. Her
boyfriend says he hasn't been with anyone
else but its hard to believe. I've heard
the disease can be dormant in men but
wouldnt he have infected her as soon as he
was infected? She made the mistake of not
using condoms (stupid I know). My
question ultimately is if she's been clear
of std's up until now wouldnt that mean he
was recently infected, and if thats the
case then we can only assume he cheated
right? I really need some answers as soon
possible. Thanks.

hi
argh. No condom?? Yeah, you are right-
it was stupid. But- I used one, with the
person I was with-- and condoms only
protect one "thing" in particular, if the
std[s] is on other "areas" you can
contract it still. I did
are you *sure* she hasn't had any other
partners - unprotected - up to this point?
Of course, if he was the one and
only...Then she contracted it from him-
obviously. He might have had it..And
carried it along with no symptoms for
awhile--but due to the pain in
urinating...He would have to have the
smarts to go get checked.
There's only two ways to get chlamydia-
from birth--which doctors usually treat
asap.. Or sexually. She contracted it
from him.. And how he contracted it..
She will have to use her judgement on that
one. If not treated with antibiotics..
Then yes it can be severe. Her partner
has to obtain antibiotics too. He is too
old to be a baby.. As your sister.
Judging just off of that... Yes. He
most likely has been sleeping around.
She's lucky it can be treated with
antibiotics..And it wasn't worse.
Hope your sister is getting better- go
beat his (_)_)!
