So I know I have chlamydia (partner just got diagnosed with it, I have all the symptoms), and I’m about to go get a test and get my antibiotics. Long story short I’m a young college student and I do not want my parents to find out. I’m on their BCBS insurance, but I’m going to pay for it on my own so they won’t see it on the insurance bill. Anyways, I set up the appointment and the doc says if I have no income the visit will be free of charge. Well, I don’t really understand how to interpret my income. I have no job right now, but I had a summer job, and I worked during the holidays. But I have no steady job that gives me a steady income. I’m a college student, I basically live off of my parents’ wallet and student loans. So how do I go about this. Could it somehow come back to haunt me if I tell them I have no income and get away without paying for the test? Or do I really have no income? I’m confused… explain…

Well, in the half term i died my hair and it went accidentally ginger. i am a naturally dark brown. i have put at least 7 hair dyes on it but it keeps coming back. my mum won’t let me dye it anymore but she doesn’t know that i have been bullied about it for the last year. i’m 13 and everyone is so mean. they call me nicknames, and my name is lydia and they have discovered that my name rhymes with chlamydia so they piss me for that and i carn’t take it anymore, i am thinking about telling a teacher but the person(s) who does it the most are these 2 guys. They are nearly in all my lessons- french,english,maths, Art, science and it happens all the time, they are telling everyone to cal me it now and i hear it in the corridors. my mum knows i want to dye my hair because people call me ginger but she doesn’t know how bad it’s been.

I fucked a girl the other day without a condom on. She told me she was a virgin. Later my mate tells me she fucked 2 boys who are like 26??? I am quite scared.
Note: This question applies to any STI, not just chlamydia

My insurance will cover pap smear examination, but chlamydia test has to meet my deduction first.
Thanks.

It says, “An association has been reported between douching and pelvic inflammatory disease (”PID”), ectopic pregnancy (”EP”), tubal infertility, chlamydia, and bacterial vaginosis (”BV”). These conditions require immediate medical attention.” So this might sound dumb but, does that mean you can get chlamydia from douching? I thought that you could only get that through sex or bodily fluid exchange..

I’m picking up some antibiotics for it on monday. what i’m really curious about is once i take the medicine will this be gone for good?? and will it ever come back once i am cured if i’m sexually active with someone that doesn’t have it?
