Scared!

[Alone]

I'm really confused and scared and I know have to do something about it soon.2yeaes back I was in a relationship with someone I have known for a few years.We ended up having unprotected sex*the stupid careless mistake I regret*While we were still dating he ended up having to get a mandatory std testing done.It came back the he had chlamydia.After finding that out I was scared and ashamed to tell anyone that there was even a sight chance I could have it to.So I said nothing and didnt go get tested.But I have went to get my regular check ups and nothing came back saying anything was wrong but I am unsure if I was tested for an std along with the vist.I try to forget about this situation and stay away from any sexual contact with anyone...Recently,I have a new boyfriend who I really love he is the only person I have told about my situation he asks me questions about if I have it or not I told him about my regular check ups and nothing was said but I never told him about the doubt I still because I don't have full conformation rathe I have chlamydia or not.Every time I think this is going to go away it doesn't.My boyfriend wants to have sex but I always make an excuse he's starting to question if u could possible have an std.I don't know what to do.I want to close the past but I can't.I want to go get tested so I can ease my worried mind but I'm afraid if the results come back positive.I'm scared to go by myself and embarrassed.I don't know how to overcome being scared while also trying to keep my boyfriend.

Thank you for reaching out to us during this difficult time. It sounds like you have to make a rough decision and are looking for some assistance or support. Unfortunately, we aren’t medically trained here so we wouldn’t be able to tell you if that test had been done during your last visit. Do you feel comfortable talking with your Dr. or one of his nurses about this and asking if the test was done?

We are sorry to hear that your previous boyfriend was diagnosed with Chlamydia and has caused you so much stress. We are glad to hear that you have found a new boyfriend and it sounds like you two really care about each other. It’s also great that he has been supportive of you up to this point. It sounds like you are trying to leave this in your past but need some closure to be able to do so, is this correct?

If you aren’t comfortable talking with your regular Dr., you may be able to contact Planned Parenthood for additional support and assistance. Their number is 1-800-230-7526 and that will connect you with the nearest Planned Parenthood. If you aren’t comfortable, they do have a website that may be able to answer a few of your questions (www.plannedparenthood.org).

We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 1-800-RUNAWAY (786-2929) if you would like to call and speak with us about more possible options. We also have online chat services that are available from 4:30 PM-11:30 PM and can be found on our website (www.1800runaway.org). We are completely confidential and anonymous so we wouldn’t contact anyone to let them know that we had spoken to you.

We look forward to hearing from you and wish you the best of luck.
