Chlamydia?

[AlwaysConfused]

No, it cannot lay dormant. You may not have noticed any symptoms. If you have been tested, and were negative, then he did cheat.

pasted this from a forum http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/745712 that seems to have other useful links.

You can have it for a long time without any symptoms. That's dormant in my book.

"Most people who have chlamydia don’t notice any symptoms.
If you do get signs and symptoms, these usually appear between one and three weeks after having unprotected sex with an infected person. For some people the symptoms occur many months later, or not until the infection has spread."

Follow the links for much more information but note particularly that the majority of women, and half of men, don't experience any symptoms. However that doesn't mean that it can be ignored; see here for the very nasty complications which could arise:

The advice given on that site is clear: If you've got the slightest suspicion that you might have contracted chlamydia, GET A TEST!

I thought i'd spelt it wrong (sorry)
Thanks AlwaysConfused.
I've been told i have it. But i've been with my partner 15 years! So that's why i asked. Think maybe 15 years is too long?
