How long can you have chlamydia before giving it to your partner?

You can have chlamydia for years without knowing, but it can be spread during this time. Each time you have sex, there is about a 40% chance of transmitting chlamydia. The chances of having sex ten times without transmitting the infection are very small -- about 6 in 1000.It's important to remember, though, that the person who gets chlamydia may have no symptoms either. In women, 80-90% have no symptoms, and half of men don't have symptoms. Your health care provider can't tell you how long you've had chlamydia. It's not unusual for someone to enter a relationship with chlamydia, and for neither partner to know they're infected until they are screened.For that reason, you should get tested for STDs whenever you have a new partner.Yes, you can get chlamydia, or first get chlamydia symptoms, four months after your partner did.

What should you know about chlamydia screening?

"Screening" for disease means finding cases in which patients don't have symptoms. Current chlamydia screening programs involve identifying patients most likely to have chlamydia, or most likely to suffer severe consequences of chlamydia, and testing them routinely. Recommendations include:Annual testing for women aged 25 and under, and men who have sex with men.Testing during pregnancy.Testing two to three months after chlamydia treatment.Testing when a patient has a new partner.

Why do you keep getting reinfected with chlamydia when you know your partner is not cheating?

There is a possibility your symptoms have cleared up, but you are not entirely cured. The antibotics you have been prescribed may not be effective in your case. Has you partner been tested? Get your partner tested. You may be getting reinfected because your partner has chlmydia as well. Your partner may be asymptomatic - has chlmydia but is not showing any symptoms. Also, how do you know you're getting reinfected with chlamydia? If you get tested too soon after treatment, you may be getting a false positive result. If you believe you're reinfected based on symptoms, you may have a second undetected infection.

How do you cure cervicitis and urealasma infection?

Surgery can only cure cervicitis, but cannot deal with ureaplasma. You still need medication for that. Both cervicitis and urealasma can be got rid of by taking the herbs . Female chlamydia or mycoplasma infection can be cured by traditional Chinese medicine. I recommend Fuyan Pill. It is a patented medicine with compound prescription. It can do the same and more than antibiotics in curing infections. It is proved that Fuyan Pill can kill bacteria, virus, mycoplasma and chlamydia in three months. By eliminating the pathogen in three months, and releasing symptoms, chlamydia infection can be cured by three months. You should also try to eat more and more healthy food when you are treating these diseases .

Does chlamydia have symptoms?

Chlamydia in MenAbsolutely. Actually, a good percentage of men can be positive for this bacteria without ever knowing...until a female partner comes up positive. Females can even have this particular bacteria for a long time before showing any symptoms. As far as men are concerned, the bacteria can be completely silent. Some men do have symptoms, but definitely not all. I hope this helps you.As an addendum to the above, chlamydia is estimated to be asymptomatic in up to 75% of women and 50% of men. It does not, to my knowledge, simply go away without treatment. In other words, you can be asymptomatic for months, even years, and continue to spread the disease to others. Often times, when symptoms do come about, they are symptoms of complications of the disease. In women, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease may develop as a result of chlamydia. In men, epidydimtis may develop. Men may also develop prostatitis, though this is somewhat controversial because it often times is not an infection of the prostate, but rather the urethral pathway that passes through the prostate that becomes infected. In either case, infertility is the end result if treatment isn't sought.20% to 30% of patients infected with chlamydia are also infected with gonorrhea, so I would recommend you get tested for both. Gonorrhea, unlike chlamydia, is usually symptomatic in men, though initially the symptoms are usually so mild that they go unnoticed.Don't be ashamed to get tested for chlamydia. For men, testing involves a urine sample. Be sure to avoid urinating at least two hourse beforehand to ensure full accuracy, and catch the first part of the urine stream. In the event that you are infected, both you and your partner need to be treated at the same time, otherwise the infection may bounce back and forth between the two of you, causing chronic reinfection. It would also be a good idea to inform past sexual partners, as well. When telling your partner that you are infected, honesty is the best policy. It will go a long way in relieving their fear and doubt, and it goes a long way in establishing trust between you and your partner. If you find it difficult to explain to your partner, I'm sure your physician would be more than happy to talk with your partner and/or to provide sources of information. Getting treated for an STI is not about placing blame or putting someone on trial. It's about ensuring the physical well-being of everyone involved, as well as their emotional and mental well-being.You may want to consider being restested 3 or 4 months after treatment. Testing before this will only give you inaccurate results. 3 to 4 weeks after treatment, you will test positive, but this doesn't necessarily mean you are still infected. Between one and three months, you may get false negatives, meaning you are actually still infected, but the test isn't picking it up.The only way to absolutely ensure that you do not get chlamydia is to avoid sexual contact. In other words abstinence. In cased where abstinence is not possible, having a long-term, mutually monogamous relationship will ensure that chlamydia is not spread further. If you are not in either of these categories, you should use a latex or polyurethane condom correctly and cosistently. It is important to remember that although condoms reduce the transmission of most STIs dramatically, including chlamydia, they are NOT 100% effective.Yes, it is possible.

How rare is recurrence for chlamydia?

Chlamydia will likely recur in exposed to the bacteria again. Among teen females, one in four to one in five will have chlamydia again within two years of treatment.
