A member asked:
I recently tested positive for chlamydia, i took the medication went back 3 weeks later and tested positive again, my partner tested negative, how?

Couple of reasons: First of all you may have an infection that is not picked up on a test (so theoretically he could still be positive). Also sometimes the medicine does not work. Also some tests take more time to become negative. They are DNA based tests and even though the infection is gone it may take a little longer time to show up negative
