    Tested as part of a routine screen with no symptoms whatsoever, and it came back positive. I keep going back over the last few months trying to work out when, and I genuinely cannot tell.

    Is it normal to have absolutely nothing? I feel like I should have noticed something.

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

    Completely normal. It’s one of the reasons routine screening exists at all. A lot of people carry it with nothing to notice, which is exactly why it spreads.

    You didn’t miss a sign. There wasn’t one to miss.

    Same for me, found on a screen before a coil fitting. No symptoms then, none during, none after treatment.

    Two things my clinic pushed and I’d pass on: make sure any current partner gets treated at the same time, and take the retest they offer a few months later. That second one isn’t about whether treatment worked, it’s about picking up reinfection from an untreated partner.
