Hello, i was diagnosed with pid, but negative for std's. how did i get it?

Some PID is non-STD: Most PID is due to gonorrhea and chlamydia, but neither can be found in 20-40% of PID cases. Sometimes the test just missed it. Others might be caused by unknown STD germs. And some cases have nothing to do with STD. Also, previous PID predisposes to new cases, even if the first caused no symptoms. Checking sex partners sometimes turns up STD missed in the PID patient herself. Discuss w/ your doc.
