I (21F) tested positive for chlamydia, and my boyfriend (21M) tested negative. He thinks I cheated, I think he’s lying. How could this be possible?

My boyfriend and I have been together for over a year. I was tested for STDs before we started dating, and he was not. We are monogamous, and I have never stepped outside of the relationship. I had some low pain in my pelvis, so along with checking the health of my bladder, my doctor ordered a chlamydia and gonorrhea test. I was called 24 hours later with results, as my clinic has a lab within the clinic to immediately do all the tests. I’m positive for chlamydia. I wasn’t really upset about it, and immediately called my boyfriend to tell him and get him to go to a clinic so we could both start antibiotics. He was tested the next day, on a Saturday. He went to an urgent care that does not have a lab in clinic, and instead sends their tests to an external lab. I called the clinic he was tested at this morning and asked them how long it takes for them to get chlamydia results back. A nurse at that clinic told me it takes 2-5 business days, because they do not test in house. He went in for testing on Saturday, and supposedly got results on Sunday, 24 hours later. Now, I checked our phone bill, and I do see that the clinic called him before he called me. He told me he tested negative for everything and they found no antibodies in his blood for anything. We both freaked out, because obviously he thinks I cheated and I know I did not so this shouldn’t be possible. So he calls the clinic back and starts asking questions, they tell him they won’t answer anything over the phone. So he decides he’s going to retest. So he drives to the clinic again, and is there for maybe 10 minutes and leaves. After he leaves, he tells me that the insurance won’t cover it again so soon, and he isn’t worried about it anymore and believes I didn’t cheat. Like total 180 mood switch and suddenly totally believes I didn’t cheat and wants to forget the whole thing happened. Tells me not to worry about a retest, and just take my antibiotics and forget it. He’s really nice again and loving all the sudden. So now I’m starting to think that maybe the lab called him, told him one thing came back negative and he assumed he was clean for everything, including the chlamydia. Then, my theory is, he went back and told them he needed a retest for chlamydia, they told him his results weren’t back for that yet and clarified the misunderstanding. Then, after I was so upset he would accuse me of cheating, he didn’t want to admit he misunderstood the results, and just tried to move on like nothing happened. What other possible explanations are there for this? UPDATE: Ok so I had him call the clinic in front of me and tell him his results again. They confirmed that all his tests were negative, including chlamydia. He’s agreed to retest again tomorrow. submitted by /u/maggie_tops to r/relationship_advice [link] [comments]
