Got chlamydia with intact condom
Back in May last year I chose to have sex with a sexworker. I am married and of course It doesn’t make me proud at all. It actually hurts.
I was wearing a condom from A to Z. The condom seemed to be intact and when I ended and withdrew no leakage and looked intact. I could smell a foul odor from her vagina at the end when I pulled out and it kind of made me nauseous. Couple minutes after removing the condom I cleansed in the shower. As I read multiple times on here, condom if used correctly which I did, prevent contamination from gonorrea and chlamydia 100% of the time (if it doesn’t break). A week or so later, I went to pee in the morning and felt some sort of discomfort and had the feeling some semen like fluid got out, just a little bit out of me penis. Also I am not sure if this was pee or semen from sex I had with my wife during the night but it scared me and then I was super worried and cautious of my penis. The days later I was constantly trying to milk my penis to see if something would leak out and started to feel more and more discomfort and I don’t know if it was because I was trying to squeeze it too much and stress over it. I also felt like I needed to pee all the time but nothing would come out. I decide to take 1g of leftover co amoxicillin for 7 days in a raw just in case. So during the course of the second week thats what I did. A week after taking the antibiotics I did a chlamydia gonorrea pcr urine test and it came back negative. I thought like if it’s negative + condom there is probably no need to worry and it was probably anxiety and me over focusing on my penis. I mean what are the odds … also since then I had no symptoms whatsoever. Early December, I had sex with my wife like usual and the day after I felt like it was scratching me and my verge had small red pimples on it. It lasted for something like 5 days and got better. A couple days ago my wife started to have painful joints like arthritis in her ankle, wrists and a little bit the knees. Checked online and it seems like it could be reactive arthritis. This is most often due to a bacterial infection with a gram negative bacteria hence chlamydia. She went to the doctor on Wednesday and they collected her urine and did a couple other blood test. They mentioned chlamydia as a potential cause. As of today, we didn’t hear back from the doctor and it’s been 3 days. Generally they would call you if something is off or comes out positive. Of course I am worried as **** because the last thing I would have done is jeopardize my wife’s health and my family. It makes me sick to my stomach. It seems all too contextual not to be THAT. Also I have to say we just returned from Senegal where she fell sick, had strong diarrea and puked for a day. So now my question is how the **** could have I caught this? Prior to this event I had very very few fully protected encounters, nothing dramatic and had tested negative for all stds in the past multiple times because I am little paranoid with this. Never had any symptoms other than that. My guess is either the hooker I saw used an old condom, maybe it was damaged or had a tiny hole or something I didnt see? Causing me to get the infection. Or she deliberately added some of her fluid in it before putting it on me which I think would be nuts and evil. I know it sounds crazy but other than that I don’t see what could have happened. Or my wife cheated on me as well but it seems very unlikely, I don’t know. Or it’s not that but so many hints lead me to chlamydia unfortunately. I swear to god I am not promiscuous, I am not the kind of person that goes out and cheats every other week + without protection. I actually do care and love my wife deeply but sometimes your ******* dick just takes over enough that..…. it’s very rare and I would always be as careful as one can be. My question is how could this have happened ? Like how ? And I remember checking the condom very carefully because I know it can burst. Then safe sex doesn’t exist and condoms are unreliable I am telling you! I ll keep you posted on that one but really… any answer or ideas for what this could be/mean would be highly appreciated.

That is incredibly long and anxiety-fueled, so I only skimmed it.
Did you test negative or positive for chlamydia, and how long after your encounter was the test?
There's no point in us explaining how you got chlamydia if, in fact, you have never tested positive for chlamydia.

Condom intact, one week after mild symptoms, took one week of conamoxicilin and one week after that tested negative so the antibiotic might have compromised results as well. Thx for your answer. It was long because the situation is a little complex
I don't think your situation was all that complex but your anxiety made it feel that way to you. You had on a condom which negates most risk. You tested negative. There is no reason to suspect you have an std.
Thx for the feedback. Anxiety is certainly a part of the issue. I’ll keep you posted when I get the results this week. Hopefully I am just paranoid…
Unfortunately, you took antibiotics, which may skew your results. It's just one of the reasons why it's not a good idea to take antibiotics that aren't given to you by a doctor.
If it hasn't been 3 weeks since you finished the antibiotics, it can cause false negatives on gonorrhea and chlamydia, or UTIs.
You might have had a UTI and your wife might have had the flu or something - this might not be related at all to the encounter you had.
Let us know the results when you get them.

My wife was tested negative for chlamydia at the hospital she got to. I got 2 home tests (urine cpr) done and sent to the lab. I received one back, it’s negative. I m waiting for the second one just to be 100% sure.
It says a lot… all symptoms and sets of events led me to believe I had caught this **** despite using a condom but Nope. It’s not that. Probably was me paying too much attention to my D and coincidences but I’ll tell you what… it’s got much to do with one’s own guilt. It’s guilt screaming at you : you piece of S here is what you did, here is what you could have F up.
I feel like that anxiety I went through was well deserved because I did wrong and there is no undoing.

Second test came back negative as well. No chlamydia no gonorrea. Nothing…
Happy to hear it. Anxiety is a real nasty thing, and can give you real symptoms. Do yourself a favor and talk to your doctor about that. Address the guilt. We see people here who do the same thing over and over, and go through the same cycle time and again.
You don't have to be one of them if you figure out why you went outside your relationship, and address the rest of it, too.
Take care. :)
