| She said that she must have had it for a year and showed no symptoms. Internet is not providing answers. Definitely not from me. |

| so what do you want us to tell you? |

| If you don't want to take medication unnecessarily, get tested first. If she's had it since before you got together, even if you didn't have it then, there's a good chance you have it now. If you do, then even if she gets treated you can re-infect her. |

| How is this a question? You need to get tested... |

| it isn't a blame game OP, no doctor or internet article will be able to tell you when you got it, just whether or not you need to be treated. |

| Skip the test.. the meds are fairly benign (zithromax) and cheap, so just get a scrip and take them. |

| Dude, why would you not? If you've been exposed to chlamydia, by all means, get treated. |

| I think he's asking if she could be telling the truth about it being dormant for a year, or if she definitely cheated on him. |

Take the meds. If she's showing symptoms then in all likelihood you have it too. BTDT.
For what it's worth it can stay dormant for a long time. |

| I will totally take the meds. Sorry I wasn't clear. I'm focused on the trust issue |

Guy here who's had it a few times. With guys, you often show symptoms. With women, symptoms are not common.. So she could not have noticed it, or she could be cheating.
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). |

What trust issue? She told you she had it, didn't she? |

OP, the fact is that it could have been dormant.
Do you have other reasons to suspect cheating? |
