How could i have gotten gonorrhea?

[ConfusedAS]

Have been with my husband for 10years (married for 7) and found out while pregnant with our second child that i had gonorrhea. I believe in my husband and trust him that he did not cheat on me. I have not cheated on him. (I slept with someone a few weeks into being in the new relationship with my husband - all them 10years ago)

I spoke with the doctor about my privates and how my discharge was different and also the smell - i put it down to hormones, mixing of fluids during intercourse etc to which ontop of my normal pregnancy screening this was added.

Now i am confused as to how i would of got gonorrhea if both parties are faithful. I tested positive and that was a massive kick to the vag. Both husband and i were in disbelief, like how could it happen. I got treated and retested to which i found out that it was negative... woo hoo. Hubby was told to get tested, but he didn't, and took the medicine anyway, as obviously he would of got it from me. He didnt get retested as my results were negative after the course of medicine.

So with all the above information my question is, how could i have got this if both parties are faithful? Was it an error by the lab? (First test was urine +, 2nd was swab + and after medicine was a swab -) should i have asked for a retest before the treatment, as i was pregnant, could that have thrown out the results?

It has been well over a year since the results and it still plays on my mind and hubby still brings it up that i caught it.

Hi  to begin with, if you had gono and had sex with your husband all these years, for sure he would have contracted it. and in men, gono would certainly show symptoms of a white puss penis discharge and terrible burning while urinating. so if he did not show these symptoms then you can rule out that you had gono, and  most likey it was a false positive. Just courious as to how you tested positive for gono?

Hi back at you. He had no symptoms, well that i know of, but he would of said for sure if he did. I cant actually remember if i had a blood test screening for it (so many tests in pregnancy) or a self swab, I'll have a look through my pregnancy paperwork. I went back through my prescriptions and found 2 which I've googled and found its for chlamydia and gono.... ive read about false-positives too, i didnt even think of it when we found out. I was so gutted and confused of how. Thank you for comments
