I started seeing a new guy last month, and we had our first sexual encounter about three weeks ago. Before that, I had done a full STI panel about a month earlier and came back negative. The only other person I was with in between was my ex, just once.
This week, I went to get retested since I have a new partner, and it turns out I have asymptomatic chlamydia. What threw me off is that I had asked my new partner about his testing before we had unprotected sex, and he said he was tested last month, so I wasn’t expecting this.
Honestly, I’m not even upset about it—it happens, and I know it’s treatable. I just don’t know how to bring it up to him in a way that doesn’t come across as accusatory or upset. How do I tell him he needs to get tested without making it weird?
