Afterwards, the doctor told me she had found some 'puss' cells inside me which indicate infection, though she didnt tell me exactly wot I had. She gave me antibiotics and told me tp ring the clinic in 10 days to get my results. I was also told I needed to contact my ex (who is the only man ive slept with in 2 years)as before I got with him I had a sexual health examination and was given the all clear on everything. So it had obviously come from him. I assume I have chlamydia from the advice on the antibiotic instructions and also my symptoms. So, I told him the horrible news and said that he needed to get checked out. But now Im worrying cos i suddenly realised that apart from him, the only thing I could of been infected from is a vibrator that I used that was someone elses. I know this will sound disgusting but my friend let me borrow her vibrator one time and I dont know if it was cleaned properly before she gave it to me (but I did clean it with water before but dont know if this was thorough enough). Now Im petrified that I have in fact been given this infection from her vibrator or from my ex. Im worried that if his results come back clear then he will think that I have been sleeping around, and that makes me feel dirty. I know the chances are probably very slim of getting infected by the vibrator rather than my ex, as I knew he was a bit of a player and has slept with lots of women and I have been told that he cheated on me. I also dont remember a time when he ever got checked for STI's when I was with him, and yes I know this is irresponsible but he never seemed to have any symptoms of an STI so thought that this was ok. Ive done loads of research on chlamydia and have found that most people dont experience symptoms, which has scared me even more because if I had got it from my ex I could have been carrying it for over 2 years. Im so worried.

 Hi Hun, sorry you are so worried about all this. Look stop worrying about HIM. You have enough to deal with. The likelihood of this coming from the vibrator are veeeeery slim I'd have thought, as most infections don't live outside the body for more than a couple of hours, if that, so I wouldn't worry on that one, though not really a good idea to share this stuff anyway. As for him. Don't give him a second thought. He's been sleeping around, cheated on you, sorry but he's hardly the type to worry about stds and who he gives them to. Just take care of you. You've done the decent thing and told him. Don't have sex with him until both of you have been treated. If he won't get treatment that tells you how much he cares about you, and do you really want to be having sex with a man that cheats on you anyway? Keep your chin up darlin, you will be fine. Yes chlymidia is not good, its not nice and you don't need it, but it doesn't make you dirty or a bad person. Its just that, chlymidia. Good luck hun.
