Our county health department STD program receives thousands of positive chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis reports every year. Over the past 10 years we have noticed an unusual number of positive PCR chlamydia from several labs where the female is pregnant, denies any signs or symptoms & has only one partner. As per CDC guidelines we bring in their partner to our clinic for testing & treatment. The partner is asymptomatic & their PCR test comes back negative. We take great care to explain to these couples about our observations as it is very important to preserve relationships.
