can you show symptoms a year after becoming infected with chlamydia?

I’ve been with the same guy for almost two years. But I havn’t shown any signs of having chlamydia. He hasn’t either. But I just heard from an ex that he just found out he has chlamydia. And he’s fairly cerstain he had it while we were dating because his ex had it before we got together. confusing, I know. I just wanted to know if its possible, my boyfriend and I, could have it now. and not know it.

both go get tested, its possible you may have not caught it but get tested n e wayz, good luck to the both of you

HPV transmission question?

I was married 9 years to a woman who was diagnosed with HPV a year before we met. I have never shown any signs of warts or symptons, and neither has she. We are no longer married, and I am starting a new relationship. I know I have to talk to my new girlfriend about this, but what are the chances she could develop symptoms from me? If so, how long would it take and how bad would they be? Also, the last time I had sex with my ex-wife was in May. Does this amount of time have anything to do with reducing the symptoms?

HPV goes away for most people. There is NO cure, but for most people their bodies are basically able to fight the virus off. Some people though have it their entire life.

Do you happen to know what kind of HPV your ex wife has or had? There are over 100 different kinds of HPV, about a dozen can cause cancer and about another dozen can cause warts.

If you did get the virus from her, it’s possible you still have it and can then pass it on to any future partner you may have. It’s also possible that if you did contract the virus from her that you were able to get rid of it, and therefore can not pass it on to any future partners. And, it’s always possible you never got the virus from her.

There is no test to detect HPV in men though unfortunately, so it’s basically impossible for you to know if you have it still or not. Just because you have never had any symptoms doesn’t mean you don’t have it. I have had the virus for over 5 years now, and I didn’t develop genital warts from it till about 11 months ago. Other than having my pap smear come back abnormal I had no clue I had the virus. It took years for any symptoms to show up (warts).

It is a good idea that you tell your girlfriend and any other future partners you may have though. There is a new vaccine for HPV called Gardasil, maybe you two could look into it. It has had excellent results so far. The vaccine prevents getting 4 different kinds of the virus – two that cause about 70% of cervical cancer cases and two that cause about 90% of genital wart cases.

Many doctors and even Merck and Co. (the company that makes the new vaccine) recommend ALL women get the vaccine, whether they have HPV or not. Most people don’t have all four of the kinds the vaccine protects against, therefore protecting them from any kind they don’t have. So, if a person only has one kind that the vaccine protects against, and they get the vaccine, it should protect them against any of the three they don’t already have. Gardasil isn’t out quite yet, but it should be really soon.

I have a white line on the upper part of my penis measuring less than 1 cm?Is that a symptom of std or aids?

It doesn’t sound like an STD.

Besides, you haven’t given enough info on the situation to even speculate what it could be.

It could be a birthmark or a scar or scratch that you just noticed.

I wouldn’t worry about it, but if you are… just go to the doctor.

Is HIV a Death Sentence?

My girlfriend mentioned a vaginal condition she had from a previous relationship…?

she acted like it was not a disease, she said what it was but I have forgotten. I am trying to find out more about it. All I remember is that she said that her GYN said the effects usually comepletly clear within about 5 years. She said the effects dissapated for a while and she was excited but then they came back even after the GYN said it looked to be gone from her system. She also said she somewhat blamed it on her past partner. Any help on what her condition could have been. It wasn’t the commonly mentioned Herpes, Chlamydia, Syphilis, Gonorrhea, HPV.

HPV (human papilloma virus) is the only thing that I can think of. This disease can have no symptoms, take years for the tests to be positive, and it can go away (or at least not show a positive test result) after awhile. It is also one of the leading causes of cervical caner. It is usually detected with an abnormal pap smear.
