Hi,
i have an issue that i know how to resolve im just having a hard time talking to someone who needs to hear about. i had a dr appointment last week, ended up getting tested for STD’s etc. i didn’t even know i got my results back for sure since the dr told me it would be no less than a week. i had gotten a text message that i had a prescription to be picked up at my pharmacy yesterday then i went and looked at my online chart and saw the positive test result for chlamydia. I wasn’t too upset right away but mind you, im in a 9 month long relationship. i know i could have gotten this from a certain altercation my bf and i had together some months ago. stupidly i didnt get checked back then. it seems from this test though that i havent been infected that long. i honestly dont care to waste my time and energy being super upset about this since its curable, i just want to know how i got it!! he is currently on bed rest due to having surgery yesterday when i was first going to say something but didnt want to since it was already such a hard day for him. its a hard conversation to have and i dont want him trying to accuse me of cheating first. i will tell you what i would like to say to him and if you think i could fix this please do tell me:
** hey so we need to have a hard conversation.. first i just wanna communicate to you that i do love you unconditionally, you are my best friend, i am always here for you. i need you to be 100% honest with me and i promise im not gonna be mad. i tested positive for chlamydia and i need to know if you had sex with anyone else in recent weeks or months. i havent had sex with anyone else personally so i promise you could tell me you fucked my mom, sister, friend, boss or whoever I just want to know. i didnt just jump to this conclusion because ive definitely had trust in you but please tell me if youve been with someone else. the test indicates that this was recently contracted so i need you to really be honest. **
so thats what i would say if i had my thoughts and words together. alternatively i was hoping he would bring it up first because i sent him one of those tellyourpartner.org texts yesterday that anonymously tells someone they have an sti/std. i sent it to him shortly before i came back from the store and he was noticeably acting different than usual when i came back but hard to tell since he did just have surgery that day. another alternative would be waiting until the next time he tries to have sex with me (hopefully this isnt what happens because its likely) and shutting it down immediately and telling him im not having sex without a condom anymore and that he needs to go get tested, rest of what i have to say from there. another thing i thought of was calling my doctor to see if they can provide me another dosage of the antibiotic since im in a state that permits expedited partner therapy, and then i will just hand him the prescription for him to look at me stupidly and ask what it is and then ill lay everything i have to say on him. im bad at handling hard times in relationships but dont necessarily care if my bf and i break up.. i know that with him we will always be friends even if its stupid of me.
August 12, 2021 at 7:41 pm #384609AnonymousGuestDear sweeetestttea:
You are in a 9 month relationship. Recently you got tested positive for chlamydia. During these nine months the only person you had sex with was your boyfriend.
cdc. gov on this bacterial sexually transmitted disease (STD), reads: “Chlamydia is transmitted through sexual contact with the penis, vagina, mouth, or anus of an infected partner. Ejaculation does not have to occur for chlamydia to be transmitted or acquired”-
– this means that your boyfriend was sexually active recently with another person. Like you suggested, it is indeed a yikes situation. I suggest that you tell him in a simple, straightforward, no drama way: I got tested positive for Chlamydia, which means that one of us had sex with a third person. I didn’t. Is there anything you want to tell me?
You may need to give him a few moments/ half an hour before he is ready to answer you.

From the draft of your convo, it sounds like you feel bad for even asking him–why? He gave you an STD! You have a right to be pissed off!
Honestly, he sounds reckless and unserious about your relationship. Diseases are VERY serious – it could have been much worse.
This is your health we’re talking about here. What if he gave you AIDS?
If you don’t stand up for yourself and put this guy in his place, no one else will. I think one thing we learned from COVID is how important your health is, and how responsible we need to be for one another. I mean you were in a relationship for godsakes….one should expect at least some measure of consideration….
Good luck, and please take good care of yourself.
Pink 🙂
