It is prudent to treat both partners simeltaneously despite your negative test which may be a false negative.This will prevent passing of the infection to and fro.The females usually have cervicitis and deeper genital infections.A urethral swab may be positive in men,more sensitive tests like PCR tests may be positive in bothpartners.
