Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

All those exposed to some disease (STD or non-STD) are not necessarily getting the disease due to various factors including innate immunity. You could have acquired the infection through your earlier sex partner and there is every possibility for your present sex partner to remain uninfected.
Another possibility is a false negative lab report. No lab test is 100% fool-proof.

I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards,
Dr S.Murugan
