Question: I have been in an exclusive relationship for almost a year. I underwent thorough testing for all illnesses 7 months ago incl for STI’s and it came back all clear. 3 months ago I became unwell and was found to have contracted Ureaplasma. I started antibiotics straight away. My partner was tested and he says his pathology results say he is negative for Ureaplasma. He refuses to go into antibiotics. And now every time we have sex I again become ill with symptoms of Ureaplasma and need to go back onto antibiotics. My symptoms include a very sore throat as we also have oral sex. How is this possible that he tests negative and I test positive? We have been making love 2-3 times a week for 10 or more months. And for the past few months I become ill with the exact same horrible symptoms after we have sex. Very distressing for our relationship. All other STI’s for me were also negative.
He will argue why should he be treated when his test is negative. I need to supply a scientific answer to him. Please can you provide one for me?
