Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Chlamydia is one of the evasive conditions. In 10 percent of men, the infection can remain asymptomatic and you will never know that you have the infection. If your partner has confirmed about chlamydia status to you then please get tested for the infection. The test can involve culture of bacteria or specific antibody testing. Depending on the results you can take a single or multidose short treatment course of antibiotics. If possible you may also get tested for other STDs and HIV as you do not know much about the health of your partner and she might also have multiple partners.
