I’m looking for perspective rather than blame.

I hadn’t had sex for about a year and tested negative on a full STD panel in November.

After that, I had unprotected sex with a new partner.

About a week later, she reported vaginal burning and suggested testing.

I’ve now tested positive for chlamydia, while being completely asymptomatic myself.

I’m curious:

how do I tell her this without sounding accusatory or losing her?

• What’s the best way to bring this up while she’s away?

• How do I reassure her that I’m focused on health and moving forward, not blame?

• Should I show her my previous negative test, only my current positive test, or no screenshots at all and just explain verbally?

Not trying to assign blame just trying to understand what’s medically realistic.
