I tested positive for uraeplasma parvum pcr. my husband has had an affair and i thus contracted this from him. he claims this can be transferred by means of coughing or sneezing in someone's eye or nose. can you confirm that this is an std ?

NOT an STD: Ureplasma parvum is an entirely normal bacteria in the genital tract. Up to half of all people have it. It probably isn't transmitted by coughing or sneezing, but it's not an STD either. This is a test that probably should not have been done. Forget about it.

Considered STD: The organism is considered a STD but it can also be transferred through a cough or a sneeze. Because of your circumstances you need to discuss this further with your doctor. Since the pcr was positive, I believe you have an STD and follow your doctors recommendations. Good luck
