Possibly; many states have laws about disclosure of STDs to your partner.

Could your partner have contracted chlamydia five days before a positive result?

Yes, it is possible.


Can you get chlamydia from a person who had it before?

No, you can not catch chlamydia from someone that is not infected. You can only get chlamydia by having intimate contact with someone who has chlamydia. If you and your partner don't have it, you can't catch it from each other.


If you have chlamydia but your partner tested negative will he get it?

Chlamydia is a curable infection. Unless your partner was tested in the brief amount of time before they could test positive for the bacteria, it is unlikely you would reinfect them.


If you have hpv and cells removed and partner has chlamydia and now I have it with an open wound what could happen?

Just get tested and treated, and if you have any further procedures, abstain from intercourse according to the directions given by your health care provider. There are no special chlamydia risks with an open wound, but there are other risks -- if your partner has chlamydia, the parnter has put him/herself at risk for bloodborne pathogens like HIV and hepatitis as well.


You both have chlamydia but you are only each others first?

Chlamydia is spread by oral, anal, and vaginal sex; genital-genital contact; sharing sex toys; and birth to an infected woman. Even if you and your partner haven't had sex before, you could have been infected with chlamydia from one of these other activities.


If you test negative for chlamydia are you good to go?

Both partners should be tested; you should not assume that you are negative for STDs based on your partner's test. Various situations can lead to one partner being negative and another positive. Don't take a chance.


Can you change your last name to that of your partner in your health insurance if you are not legally married in New Jersey?

The only two ways you can legally change your name and use it officially is with a marital status change (actually getting married or divorced), or to legally change your name, which is a lot of paperwork. You could get charged for fraud by using a false last name for health insurance purposes. You could also get into trouble for adding yourself to a partner's insurance if there are no domestic partner laws in place in your state. You MUST check into domestic partner laws before doing anything so you don't get hit with a really nasty lawsuit from the insurance company. If there are domestic partner laws you can take advantage of, there is absolutely no need to use a false name in the first place.

How can you have Chlamydia If you tested negative six months ago?

You might have gotten chlamydia from somewhere else, you could have some other infection, your partner could have had a false negative result, or you might have some other non-infectious problem. You should not rely on a partner's result to determine whether or not you have an infection. If you have pain or discharge, you should get tested.


Can only one partner have chlamydia?

Few infectious diseases are transmitted after 100% of exposures. In the case of chlamydia, estimates are that there's a 40-50% chance of getting it from any episode of vaginal sex with an infected partner. This can do with various factors. For instance, the presence of another infectious disease (like herpes) can be a "window of opportunity" for a second infectious disease to enter. Our bodies, and the "shedding" schedule of a present virus or disease have a lot to do with it too. Basically, just luck.Also, it could be a false-positive or false-negative result.It's possible that an intervening antibiotic prescription for some other purpose, such as amoxicillin for sinusitis or doxycycline for Lyme disease, could have cleared the infection in one person before they even knew they had it.In addition, a certain percentage of people clear chlamydia without treatment. The infection may still have done damage before the immune system cleared it.A few people may have a temporary mild immunity to chlamydia after recent infection, so it's possible that one person just had a little more immune protection against the infection than the other.The important points to remember:Due to the risk of undetected chlamydia, partners of patients who test positive for chlamydia may be treated.While couples facing an STD should have a frank discussion about monogamy, you cannot assume that one partner has been unfaithful just because one has a positive chlamydia test and the other doesn't.


How can you legally not pay taxes?

The only way to legally not pay taxes is to not have any income at all. If you have income and you try to avoid paying taxes, you could get into a lot of trouble.


Can you get chlamydia if neither partner has had another partner?

It's possible to get chlamydia through genital-genital contact without intercourse. The problem with your question is the word "virgin." That word doesn't describe risk factors for STDs. That is, "virgin" doesn't say anything about whether you've exchanged potentially infectious fluids or had skin to skin contact with another person.It's possible to get STDs including chlamydia, HPV, HSV, gonorrhea, syphilis, and trichomonas by having genital-genital contact. Whatever your partners history, both partners should get tested prior to exchanging fluids.You can't get chlamydia if your partner and you were virgins.
