false positive or false negative

I received a positive chlamydia test result and my boyfriend received a negative result. How is this possible I was tested 6 months ago and received a clean bill of health and went in two weeks ago because I had found put I was pregnant so of course they tested my urine . I know that I have not cheated and fairly certain that he hasn't since his test came back negative.

It could be a false positive, his could have been cured prior to testing. Pregenancy can often lead to a false positive.
