Positive STI test?

[beebs]

I've been with my current partner for 10 months and havent been with anyone else sexually in since we got together.

2 months into our relationship we both went and were tested for all STI's, and both our results came back clear.

I recently had to take another test, due to medical reasons, I assumed it would come back negative as my partner is the only person ive been with.

I was told when I had the text that if it was clear they would just text me that, and if it wasnt they would ask me to call. I got a text asking me to call and im assuming that means its positive. I can't call because of my anxiety disorder but im not even sure if i want to find out.

Because if it is positive that means my partner has cheated on me and I don't want to have to deal with that again, but at the same time, I want to know what happened.

Any advice?

well you are going to have to call. as hard as it may be, it is something you are going to have to do, because you are going to have to find out if you possibly need treatment/ what they can do or what you are going to need to do going forward.

once you figure that out, you are going to have to talk with your gf.

as uncomfortable and anxiety provoking this all may be, it is something you are going to have to do. sorry, but it is

You need to talk to your partner if you're having trouble calling up the clinic. If you still feel your partner is being dishonest or saying that they haven't cheated at all, you should perhaps take a close friend with you to the clinic to accompany you, or ask them to call on your behalf. The longer you leave it, the more of a risk there could be.

Call the clinic, FIRST. I know how you feel about calling, I hate to call ppl on the phone, even when its not an important thing. Plus you got other shit to think about this time, like is it really an STI and how did you get it and is your partner cheating.

But really, it may not even be positive. It may be that the test just didn't work and they need to re-take it. It may be that its something they found that is entirely unrelated. It may have nothing to do with your partner.

So as hard as it is to do, call them, real soon, like today. Then you'll know, and there's no reason to be suspicious and accusatory of your partner until you really know. In fact, that would just be wrong to do. Get the facts first.

Call as fast as possible and if you do have something get it treated as fast as possible.

If you wait and you have something the consequences could be absolutely disastrous and there's nothing you can do now except chew your significant other out for cheating.

But perhaps they could a yeast infection too, just listen to the doctors first, then decide.

Wow, that sucks on SO many levels. Firstly having to deal with the potential fact that your significant other has been cheating on you is a nightmare. I'm rlly rlly sorry to hear that.
Secondly STI is not at all a good thing to deal with, at all. Can really mess up your life :(
However, all that being said, you're going to have to call. Too dangerous not to. Good luck.

Jaffe is right.
You need to call them first. Build up the courage to do it. Try speaking to someone, but as long as you manage to think rationally and get past it you have one thing out of the way. Once you ave all of the facts, then you can worry about what needs to happen next. Call them, then speak to your partner about it. As difficult as it is, not worrying about things that won't necessarily happen makes our lives a lot easier.
You're brave, you can do this.
Good luck.
