Old Chlamydia trachomatis infection value of 9 in the blood test.
Hello,
First of all, I think it's great that you can ask questions here.
Now to my situation.
I am almost 27 years old, inherited Factor V from my father, have been in a committed relationship for almost 3 years, we got an AIDS test together beforehand (in France), and we want to have children in the future. Nothing was detected in the AIDS test.
Before I met my boyfriend, I was single for almost 2 years. I was always very cautious and didn't just sleep with men for fun.
My gynecologist detected IgG Chlamydia trachomatis value 9 positive through a blood test, and further examinations revealed that it is an old untreated infection. Tomorrow she wants to give me a prescription. I am supposed to take the medication for 20 days, every other day.
What does the result 9 from the blood test of the infection indicate?
In Germany, is Chlamydia also tested for in the AIDS test? Unfortunately, I had my last test done in France and my gynecologist informed me that Chlamydia is not always tested for.
I always asked my ex-boyfriends for a current AIDS test, thinking that the test included testing for all sexually transmitted diseases. It shocks me if that's not the case, and I may not be able to have children because of it.
Could you roughly tell me what the risk of infertility is if someone has been living with a Chlamydia infection for about 5-6 years?
I never had any symptoms, but due to Factor V, I take a special pill (Androcur), which stops my period. Now I sometimes have mild lower abdominal pain and heavy discharge. Could it be because of the infection?
Can this infection only be transmitted through sexual intercourse, or are there other ways of transmission?
What methods are there to test if one is still fertile?
Thank you,
K.G.
