I recently found out I have chlamydia. I’d never gotten tested before then so I didn’t jump to any conclusions as to who I got it from. I’ve been monogamous with my partner for a little over two months now and didn’t have any symptoms. I contacted my ex to let them know of the situation and they informed that they had just gotten tested two months ago and everything came back negative, which means I got it from my current partner. I feel lost on what to do, I feel icky and don’t know how to go about the situation. My partner claims they didn’t know, I’ve put myself in their shoes and I know it’s an honest mistake but still. I need advice
Partner gave me chlamydia

That’s not just gross it’s betrayal in your body. Even if they didn’t know you now do so protect yourself and rethink who deserves access to you.
But really how isn’t an honest mistake? Partner gave me chlamydia Oopsie daisy. like be real they have to be cheating on you. How else would they have gotten it? You don’t just get chlamydia. You get it by fucking someone else. You really need to press your partner because how else would you’ve gotten it like genuinely. And if they didn’t know, they had chlamydia for a while that’s a problem in itself. That can ruin your body if you don’t get it treated right away.
Take your pills sweetheart and find another partner..
How old are you to have never been tested before ? And how many sexual partners have you had to not be tested after your last sexual encounter. Not the safest bet. Chlamydia can remain dormant and is less noticeable in males bc lack of symptoms. Maybe your ex never tested and lied.
We have to be honest with each other in a relationship.
You and your partner are not exclusive until you discuss about it
Your partner is a weak human who couldn’t even acknowledge. This is very common in a non exclusive relationships.
Cut them loose.
Chlamydia can be a symptomatic for a while. It’s not out of the realm of possibility
Give it back
Use condoms every time you engage in sex. No matter what.
actually chlamydia, the partner you’re with may not have known guys can carry it may not know so if he hasn’t had a relationship and he’s been you know sleeping around I think he could’ve gave it to you and maybe he had it before even you need to find out how long how long were your symptoms after she started dating him? Did you get them immediately or did you get them you know two months later and then find out the dormant time and see if it’s possibility the other thing is it’s weird that your ex said he was tested two months ago. Why would he just randomly test?
If you get it from your partner again after he gets treated, then he’s sleeping around with you. I don’t think you could make a call on this not sure.
Don’t listen to the people saying he must of cheated. Chlamydia can have no symptoms for a lot of people for months. You didn’t get tested before going into this relationship and it’s possible your partner didn’t. He could have had it and not known, you could have had it and not known. Your ex could be lying. Either way, you can’t know for sure and it’s very possible nobody has cheated. Take your medicine, get your partner to get checked and get medicine and in future always ensure you and your partner are fully tested when entering a new relationship, especially if you plan to have unprotected sex.
Don’t blame yourself, mistakes happen. Focus on healing.
You’re not wrong to be upset, it’s uncomfortable and stressful. Get treated, and have an honest talk with your partner: when did they last get tested, and did they know anything? It doesn’t necessarily mean they cheated, but it is about trust and responsibility. Do what feels right for you, whether that means staying or leaving. Most important: take care of yourself.
Your current partner may have had it before you started dating and just didn’t have symptoms.
You have only been with your partner for 2 months. Some people are asymptomatic so it is very possible that your current partner didn’t know they had it. Chlamydia is easily cured so you should be fine. Your current partner obviously needs treated as well. What’s your concern?
If you makes you feel better I got chlamydia from my ex-husband after he cheated on me. We were married for 15 years at the time.
