It is exceedingly unlikely you were infected with the same strain of Chlamydia trachomatis for 18 years; if so, your doctor(s) would have reported it in the medical literature. (Longest known case 4 years, in a woman; none even a year in males.) Carrying gonorrhea that long also is impossible. HPV, sure: lifelong infection is the norm and you could well have been infected since 1996.
