NoteMember experience, not medical advice. Symptoms overlap between infections and only a test can tell them apart.

This comes up here regularly and it is genuinely not always explicable as somebody lying. Asymptomatic infection can persist, and there is no test that dates when it was acquired.

It is also true that one of you could have been carrying it from before the relationship and never had a reason to be tested.

What I would resist is treating the lab result as evidence about the relationship, in either direction. It tells you an organism is present. It does not tell you when or from whom, and it cannot be made to.
