STD testing confusion

2017-08-31 16:49:01
Both my partner and I got tested 1 day apart. They told him that he tested positive for chlamydia but my doctor told me that I didn't have any STDs only that I have a bacterial imbalance. Why is he testing positive if I'm not? Should I get tested again?

You can get tested again. He could have had it from before. Which tests?
