Last Week I Visited Urgent Care, Not My Recently Tested
Question: Last week I visited urgent care, not my recently tested positive for BV (which I wasn’t surprised by and chlamydia, which I was surprised by. I immediately told my spouse and he was tested with negative results. We are both adamant about there being no infertility on either end. Yet, I tested positive and he tested negative. I was pretty sure I was having symptoms of BV but the chlamydia has come as a shock. We were both tested prior to engaging sexually, with a clean XXXXXXX of health. My husband asked me how this is possible and I told him it isn’t. I know false positive tests are a rarity but I’m kind of desperate for answers. I have an appointment with my OBGYN next week but I am just hearing about my husband’s negative results and am anxious for clarity. Is this possible, for me to have tested positive and him negative, after only being intimate with each other throughout the entire course of our relationship? If it’s not due to infidelity, what are some other explanations?

DO test NAAT again
