Chlamydia: If your test for chlamydia was positive, and you have had only one partner, it is possible that your partner's test was in error. Your current symptoms suggest that you may have another vaginal infection. See your gyn provider for testing and an exam. If again positive for chlamydia, your partner needs to be re-tested.
