I tested positive for Chlamydia

I have been in a relationship for the last four and a half years. My partner is the only person i have been sexually involved with. In December of 2019 I was tested for HIV, gonorrhea and chlamydia. All tests came back negative. The only reason i had tests done was because i suffered a miscarriage and the healthcare providers at the emergency room offered while I was in the hospital. March of 2021 I went in for a UTI test and was also given a pap smear. I had a yeast infection and was not aware i was being tested for gonorrhea or chlamydia because i have only been with my same partner so i didnt think it was necessary. My gonorrhea test was negative. I tested positive for chlamydia. I understand there are false positives and false negatives but they are rare. Is it safe to say my partner has been sexually involved with another or other people?

Please see my reply on the BASHH forum . Your partner needs to test also, if his test was positive also, then it is more likely to be a true positive result. Alas it is also possible the 2019 test was false negative at the time . Has your partner had sexual health screening before ? ultimately it may come down to a trust issue, and you would need to have a discussion with your partner. I wouldn't jeopardise a good relationship on the basis of a test which can, although rarely , have both false positive and false negative results.
