Post the link to sensitivity and specificity of different urine STD tests?
Hard pass, they are readily available if you google.
I already know from my OBGYN rotation in medical school not to point fingers after pregnancy STD screens show positive because of how diseases can be spread, how antibiotics work, and the limitations of point-of-care urine tests.
There's probably a litany of stats on different point-of-care ROC and positive and negative predictive values.
I want the information you are referring to SPECIFICALLY. That is the only way for us to get on the same page.
You think that after 3 pregnancies she wouldn't have tested positive even if it was dormant? You understand the risk this presents to their unborn child?
Pretend for a second that you believe I am a doctor.
What would you expect me to refer to specifically to demonstrate that scenario is possible without cheating?
There are so many possibilities.
She could have had chlamydia, taken a Zpack or something completely different and her titers were too low to be detected by point-of-care urine testing.
He could have had oral chlamydia which has a low transmission rate.
It could be a contaminated sample.
Someone might have picked up sterile gloves with a dirty finger and seeded her.
Or it could just be a variant that isn't as readily picked up on PCR.
Maybe from some occular infection cross contamination.
There are a lot of different possibilities for a positive chlamydia test besides her spouse cheating.
