So my girlfriend wants me to take meds for chlamydia

[Anonymous]

She said towel. I didn't know you get it from sitting on a tractor

A towel? No. Whose towel did she use, and when?

Did she know she was at risk, then?

If that's the reason behind her having it then yes I would be suspicious.

oh man, is she said she got it from a towel, then I think you have reason to be suspicious.

which means you should go get tested for everything!

Well of this happened to me that guy would be kicked to the curb. I don't care when, that's nasty.

The thing is.. how does she know she has it? Docs don't test women for it unless they ask to, or they are pregnant (or sexual assault.. but taht's a different story).

My GYN runs a full STD panel every year at my eval, simply because many things can have a long "incubation" period and something from years ago can finally decide to show itself.

+1 Same here. Many gynecologists will automatically run the tests at every checkup. It's just a swab that's done along with the pap smear. The first couple of years, I didn't even know my doctor was testing me for STDs.

OP, you should take the meds now. If you feel for some reason that your relationship is "soiled" or that your GF is lying, then deal with that later.

Again. I don't need to be asked twice to take STD meds. That is not the issue. I was just wondering if it's plausible that symptoms could suddenly flare up after being dormant for just over a year. Or do dormant symptoms stay dormant. I should add (and this is going to be the head slapper) this has been a long distance relationship. I was totally monogamous.

OP, I have only heard of symptoms from a dormant infection appearing suddenly in the cases of Herpes, so while possible I do not have a straight answer. If you were to go to your doctor for treatment, would you feel comfortable asking them? they will not be able to guess when someone got infected but they might be able to answer your question

Oh she has herpes too.

I had chlamydia once for probably a couple months before I was caught. Hard to tell when exactly I was infected.
It flared up after having sex with my new boyfriend after not having any symptoms for a while. Thought it was a bad uti but when I started peeing blood, they tested further and found it.

I believe she could have had it for a while. Though I think it's highly unlikely she got it from a towel.

At least she didn't give you herpes or the aids

The symptoms may have been silent but the infection would always be there from the time of infection if it is there now.

She didn't get it from a towel, she got it from unprotected sex from someone.

She's a hoe

STOP having sex with this woman. My guess is that she's sleeping around a LOT.

Make sure she gives up the butt sex for this snafu ?

That was from a Seinfeld episode. Girl got the clap, I believe... Well, that was the story her boyfriend told her. LOL.

She didn't get it from a fucking towel. Smarten up.
