Chlamydia: No. It is highly unlikely the test is wrong. There are commonly false negatives, but not false positives. if you did not have a STD test when you entered this relationship, then you may never know the answer as to when you got infected. But you both definitely need treatment. Even if his test is negative!!! One has chlamydia until they are adequately treated. It can be in you or him or both of you

Well..: Unless you have a previous negative test to rely on, there is no way to know when you were infected. It is often asymptomatic. The infection was acquired in one of these ways. 1) you got it from a previous or another current partner (which you say you don't have) 2) he got it from a previous or another current partner (which he says he doesn't have) You both need treatment. If doubts, retest.
