How can i be tested positive for clamidya and my partner cam back negative when we both have had sexual activities with each other?

STD Testing: Negative tests can often be false. All partners in a scenario with one person positive should be treated. The swab may not have gone in deep enough to pick up the infection. The best practice, at least in my opinion is that you both get treated!
