    How bad is Chlamydia? Is it like a yeast infection?
    My doc just called me about my pap smear results and she told me that my test came back positive for Chlamydia? Not very happy about it cause I don't know how I got that. The doc told me it can be treated and I need to come in for meds. Not having a good day already

    Chlamydia is a STD. It is a sexually transmitted disease/infection. You need to have this treated or it can cause infertility. Also, your partner will need to be treated.

    Here is a very good website that outlines it in very user friendly terms.

    No, unfortunately there is no other way it is contracted. One person gets it from another infected person and passes it on.

    SO the only way a person can get it from another person is if they are having sexual intercourse?

    Yes, the only way you can get it is if you are having sexual relations with someone who already has it.

    Please don't cry. It's one of the most common STDs.

    I just really want to be able to get pregnant sometime in life and this could prevent that from happening. Though that's not the only thing I'm worried about. I just don't understand it. I told my fiancé. It was sooo embarrassing to do! He says that he's only been with me so I don't know how to fill.

    Do you know anything about the treatments? I'm going to leave work early today to go get them

    I'm sorry to say, but he needs to be tested as well. There is only ONE way to get this STD and it is through sex.

    Then the two of you need to sit down and figure out where this came from, because the other person(s) will have to be treated and their partners will have to be treated as well.

    Yeah we will sit and talk about it when I get home.

    But when I talked to him on the phone he said he only been with me and he's been faithful. But I also know that "what's done in the dark will come out to the light"

    I can't say where you got it. If you are sure you are faithful, then... well.

    But I can say that you were given this disease through sexual contact. Whether he is unfaithful or you are, only the two of you can say for certain.

    Ask your doctor how long it can be in your system before any symptoms show.

    Chlamydia is silent and sometimes asymtomatic,it could have been in either of you for a long time before if started to cause problems.

    Don't jump to conclusions before you have ALL the information.
