how can i have clamydhia but my partner doesn't ?

Accepted Answer

STD: Hi Maydi, I'm not entirely sure what you are referring to as there could possibly be a spelling mistake in the condition you are referring to.  If you are referring to molluscum contagiosum, the skin condition, then yes, it is transferred through skin contact from partner to partner.  The skin disease can be worse in patient's with HIV, but normally heals on its own in healthy individuals.
