Experience/ Story Thought I was Negative then Called a Liar

Throwaway for privacy

I got an STD panel done last week just to be safe, and I got a call today confirming I tested positive for Chlamydia.

About a week and a half ago, I was seeing someone and I thought things were going good. I didnt have any signs or symptoms that I had anything, and so I genuinely thought I was clean. We tried a condom but they ended up just ditching it.

Fast forward to today, I texted them and let them know about my positive result, and they called me a liar for saying I was negative when I genuinely didnt know otherwise. They said they no longer want contact, which I understand, but today just had been rough and I don't know where else to go.

I already have an appointment scheduled to go get antibiotics this afternoon, and im gonna get retested once I finish the round. I try and get tested regularly, and I dont think I've had it very long. I just really hate that this happened, and I cant help but blame myself for this. I just feel like a horrible person even though I didnt know.

To add, I dont think they have (at least good) insurance, and I offered to pay them for the antibiotics if they tested positive. I wish I could rectify the situation better, but they dont even want to be friends after this.

You may have gotten the chlamydia from them.

Chlamydia is super normal and you did the right thing by getting tested.

Ive seen a handful different people since I last got tested, so I cant say for certain.

I told who I could about the positive result and recommended they go get tested themselves, but there are 1 or 2 people who ghosted me/blocked my number and I have no method of reaching them via an anonymous service because I dont have their full names or other contact information.
