Abnormal pap? Gonorrhea/Chlamydia?

I had a pap two months ago. Today I recieved a letter saying there is a chance I have gonorrhea or chlamydia because of increased white blood cells. The letter says that could be normal, but might not be. This is a surprise because I have been monogamous for four years. My partner hasn't ever had any symptoms. Can these STD's last four years without you ever knowing it? What about the fact that my partner never had any symptoms himself?

Pap smears are often incorrect, so you need to let your doctor examine you again. There are numerous reasons why the white count could be up.

However, to answer your question about these two STD's being asymptomatic for years...yes they can:

Chlamydia is known as the "Silent Epidemic" because in women, it may not cause any symptom and will linger for months or years before being discovered.

The incubation period of Ghonorrhea varies from 2 to 14 days with most symptoms occurring between days 2 and 5 after being infected from an infected partner. A small number of people may be asymptomatic for up to a year.

My cousin had that 'abnormal' pap, and it turned out to be HPV.
ouch feel sry for u girl.....
chalamydia will actually increase your risk of breast cancer later in life. Here is the real thing. Pap smears often times come back incorrect. I would recommend getting 2 other pap smears from different doctors if possible. Get tested for STD's. It never hurts to know.

Good luck.
The only way to know for sure is for you and your partner to get a full battery of blood tests for STD's. It will put both of you at ease, or if it's positive atleast you'll know and can start treatment options.

Don't worry I've had abnormal paps, and my doc thought it might be Syphillis, but it wasn't. Don't stress it.
High white blood cells can also be a bacterial infection and they wont know that untill all the tests come back that has happend to me too. But if you do have any of those stds you better have your man checked out because honey some men are not faithfull and if thats the case Im very sorry for you and good luck.
most likely the lab is covering their butt. there are numerous things that can cause an increased number of WBC's in your vaginal secretions...not just GC or chlam
I would ask the doc that did your pap if there was a chance that a mixup occurred. If the answer does not suit you, then I would ask that he/she do it again...
and if your partner had GC, he would have loads of thick yellow discharge fromhis penis...now chlam would be more innoccous and he might not know that he has it...if your spec comes back + again, then I would ask your partner to donate a urine spec to check for chlamydia...real easy to do and easy to treat
good luck
