chlamydia
I found out that I have chlamydia. My doctor just called to tell me. I know it can be treated and so on. They also wanted to know my partners name. My bf and I broke up and I dont think I should give his name or information out about him. He doesnt even know that I have it. Also I dont even know if he is the one who has it. I looked it up and found out a lot about the disease. But my question is, how do i know which guy gave it to me. Obviously i am sexually active. and have had sex with three different guy. Can the doctor tell me when i got this disease or if i have had it for a while? I dont want to tell all three guys that i have it and they need to get tested is why. Thank You very much.

You made a big decision when you decided to have sex with each of those men.
Now you have to face the big consequences, no matter how embarassing.
No matter who gave it to you, or when you think you got it, your partners all have the right to know that they may have been exposed.
The doctor will not be able to tell when you got it. You should notify all partners that you have had any sexual contact with so that they have the chance to get tested.
If chlamydia goes untreated, it can cause sterility and other problems. Is it really fair to leave somebody to that fate because you are embarrassed? No.

There is no way of knowing when you got it or who you got it from. You need to contact all three of your sexual partners and tell them to get tested. It could have happened at any time because chlamydia often shows no symptoms. If you don't tell them, they are going to keep going on not knowing that they have an STD. They will then spread it to their sexual partners, who will spread it to their sexual partners and on and on. Even though it can be treated with meds, if it goes untreated, it can have severe consequences. It will be hard and most likely embarrassing, but you need to tell all three of these guys what's up. (Especially if they were all three unprotected at any time) If they're not prepared to handle the consequences of sex, they shouldn't be having it. Don't blame solely yourself because you were all willing participants.
Hope this helps,

There is NO way to know which of your partners has Chlamydia. It can take days or weeks to develop symptoms, and some people may never experience symptoms at all. There is no way to figure out when you got it, or who from. There is no way to date it. That is why most doctors strongly encourage you to contact everyone you’ve slept with in the last three months.
If you have slept with all three of them in the last few months it’s entirely possible that all three of them now have Chlamydia and you need to tell them all they should get tested. Chlamydia can led to complications and permanent damage if it’s left untreated and they could also go on and infect more people. That's just not okay to allow. As a decent person and a respectful sexual partner, you are ethically obligated to tell everyone who might have been exposed.
