as a clinician we are not really sure who gave what to whom when it comes to chlamydia. our goal is just to treat our patient and treat the partner. doing an extensive investigation as to who brought the std into the relationship is really not something we do. clearly you were exposed by someone. whether he tests positive or not is really irrelevant at this point if you are both treated and both test negative again. the urine dna test is very accurate but like most tests few lab tests are really 100% accurate. there may be variables in collecting the specimen and processing it in the lab. chlamydia can be asymptomatic in both men and women so you could have had it for a long time. the important thing is that it was found and successfully treated.
how accurate are urine tests for chlamydia? . i recently found out i was pregnant. at 8wks i had a urine test done & only had a uti. at 12wks i had a pap done & tested positive for chlamydia &been treated. so my partner when to the doctor got urine & blood tests done. no swab. he informed the doctor & they went ahead & gave him the treatment. he got his test results back & negative all across. hes the only partner i've had in 3 years. im completely baffled. how is it he tested negative on a urine test & i did not til a pap? help ease my mind.
