std Testing question???
I recently visited my GP due to a urine issue, for safety purposes he advised for STD testing for chlamydia and gonorrhoea. I have been in a relationship for 18 months (faithful 100%) but decided to get tested for piece of mind. I tested negative for both and was diagnosed with a urine infection a few days later.
I have not told my girlfriend that I got tested because it would have caused concerns that don't need to be caused. If I had an STD, it would have been from a previous relationship or passed from my girlfriend.
I have two questions:
1. After testing negative - I am right to assume that my negative results indicate my partner is also negative? ( I don't want to ash her to get tested because it would cause doubt for no reason). We have had sex hundreds of times and I am negative.
2. Through research I have read that gonorrhoea goes away on its own 6 weeks for men and 3/6 months for a women (DR Hook said something like this on this site) is that true? I ask this in case either one of us are asymptomatic and didn't know we had it.
My questions my seem silly but I am looking for piece of mind from a medical professional and hope you can help so I can put this behind me.

If she has never tested and has had sex with other people, it might be a good idea for her to test for everything just to make sure. But yes unlikely she has either STD.
My gp made me slightly worried when he mentioned the word 'std', and no i have not cheated but this completely new to me and google is full of different information.
All i wanted to know was if my negative test indicate strong odds thats she is clean from infection. Rather than embarress myself by asking her Or cause an argument. That is all no more than that?

We can never say 100% because she has not tested.
My thought is that you have a health anxiety or cheated on her. So which is it?

By most likely, do you mean near 100% or not?
knowing my circumstances, in my situation should i assume all is ok?
I want to avoid asking her to so an std test, it will cause a fallout for no reason.
