How can you get chlamydia without having any kind of sex in over 2 years? i was told i have chlamydia, which seems impossible, since i have not had sex in over 2 years. i've been going to my local free health clinic for 5 years and get tested every year

If : If you are sure about your history and have had 4 negative tests, and no exposure, then something is not right here. You can go back to the same clinic and ask to be re-tested, or you can go to a different cliinc and get tested (culture or urine is adequate). It is your choice on how you proceed. Best of luck.

Errors: Understand that you can be symptom free and still have chlamydia. The routine test looks for genetic material from the chlamydia, but the test is more likely to miss it than to be falsely positive, unless they mixed up your test with someone else. If they found it now, re-test it & get treated if true. Please share your story with your clinic as they may need to review their testing protocols.
