STD Question

Ok, so me and my GF haven't been with anyone else for a year now. She ended up going to the doctor for a checkup last week and found out she might have Chlamydia or maybe HPV, but we're still waiting on the blood results. She said that she has had a discharge for a couple months and hasn't told me. My question is, could an STD like chlamydia or HPV lay dormant for an entire year? Also I've had a few bumps right below my belly button that haven't gone away for about 2 months after having sex.

I really hope it's ok to ask these questions in this forum lol. Thanks

Update
Well she said the tests were negative. I have an appointment to get my blood drawn tomorrow just to make sure. What exactly should I tell my boss? "I have to go get a checkup", and what should I say when I get back with a bandage on my arm?
 
Dont stress yourself right now, wait for the results. If they do come back positive, get your ass over to a doc stat!
 
You're going to get a lot of wild replies to this type of thread.

I don't know about chlamydia, but a lot of people have HPV and don't know it. I'd just go get tested to be safe, but if you're already seeing symptoms then you probably have it.
 
But are these signs that she could of messed around on me? She came in after her checkup and asked me in a pissed off tone "Have you messed around with someone else?" I haven't, and she said that she hasn't.
 
If it's HPV, then yes, it could have been hiding for that long. I think it's somewhat less likely for chlamydia, but also not out of the question that it could have been contracted some other way.

The bumps below your belly-button don't sound like any STD I've ever heard of!
 
Also to note, HPV is commonly transmitted through anal sex. I don't think it's a great question to ask her but hopefully she hasn't been having anal sex with other partners.

Ya, I pretty much know for a fact she hasn't.

I plan on calling the clinic to get an appointment today.
 
HPV and chlamydia are very common and can be invisible to the carrier. You (or she) may have had it for a long time without knowing.

Chlamydia can lie dormant for months (I'm not sure the limit). I don't know about HPV dormancy, but with other viruses long dormancy periods are common.

I wouldn't worry too much. Chlamydia is cured with antibiotics if BOTH of you are diagnosed and take the medicine appropriately. I don't think HPV can be cured, but since so many people have it without any problems, it usually isn't a worry.

If you are both showing signs of chlamydia, get antibiotics prescribed and end the worry.

HPV can lay dormant for a life time. So can herpes. Either of those two diseases can actually be found in over HALF of the college age population in the United States today, but a vast vast vast majority will be asymptomatic for their whole lives (yet still able to pass it on to others).

The bumps below your belly button are probably razor burn or irritation, don't sweat it.

Chlamydia is bacterial...it can lie dormant and then spring up when conditions are right, but its easily curable with antibiotics. It wont lead to bumps on your chest.

Neither will HPV. Very rare for a man to know he has it. Its viral, and will never go away once you get it. Its ubiquitous, and youre more likely to get it than not..condoms wont protect you from it either. Most strains are innocuous. A few will cause genital warts, a few will cause cervical cancer.

As far as STDs go, you're dealing with the ones not to worry about.
 
Ya man I went through something similar. The doc told my girl she "MIGHT" have herpes. Don't you love that? Hey we're going to scare you for awhile before we know for sure what's going on. Well it turns out she didn't have herpes afterall but the same thoughts went through my head that are probably going through yours right now too.

Where could she have contracted this?
Did she cheat on me? I want to believe her but the facts can't be denied type thing.

Basically what i'm saying is like others have said...what for the results and go from there.

I agree, I just don't think I could know for sure considering its been a year since we had sex with other people. So something could of been dormant from that time or she hooked up with someone else and now seeing signs. I really have no way of knowing.
