From what I understand the cases of sterility only come up when an STD goes untreated for a long time.... I really dont think that you have anything to worry about right now seeing it seems that you caught yours very early on Best of Luck to you Keep us posted

When i thought I had chlamydia (it was actually something else) I asked the nurse how it would affect my fertility and she said that it wouldn't. She also said that it would only affect a woman if it was left untreated for a long time. I even asked her what if I had the disease for a few years and she said it would be ok, it only matters if it goes undetected for years and years. Was happy to find out it wasn't actually chlamydia anyway.

Any info on the net will basically just tell you the same thing - ie that chlamydia will effect you if it goes untreated for a long time.

Gonnohrea twice <b>AND</b> chlamydia?? I'm not judging or anything but ya gotta get yourself some condoms girl! Or at least get the guy to check himself out before you sleep with him!

what are the chances of having gon/chly for years and it going unnoticed? i thought you had symptoms pretty soon after being exposed to the virus? also, what are your chances of getting them

from kissing someone?
