My boyfriend and I had been going out for about three months when I noticed this funny smelling
stuff coming out of my vagina. It was also painful to go to the toilet.
When I found out it was
chlamydia I completely freaked out. The nurse said lots of people my age
have
chlamydia without even knowing it. It could've stopped me from having children later.
They gave me antibiotics, so I'm fine now. We didn't use
condoms cos I was on the
pill to stop me
from getting pregnant. Plus he didn't like using
condoms anyway.
He told me he was faithful to me so I wouldn't need to worry about catching an
STI. And I would
feel weird suggesting it, cos it would be like I didn't trust him.
I was really scared to talk to him about it, but I got the infection from him and he's now got to get
treatment. When I talked to him he admitted that he wasn't faithful to me. I was devastated. I don't
know if I can trust anyone again.
And I keep thinking how the other people he slept with would've slept with a whole lot of other
people too.
I'm probably lucky that I got it checked out and treated. They told me that not everybody gets
symptoms like I did. We should've talked about it more before we started sleeping with each other.
And we should've used
condoms!
