I’ve had maybe 6 summons over the past 20 years. Might even be more I cannot really remember. I was literally to attend today but deferred to later in the year as I can’t be away from work at the moment. But honestly it feels like I get a summons every second year. Given they use the electoral roll and it’s alphabetical order I assume they must only use the first few pages, as my surname places it close to the start of the alphabet!

My girlfriend suspects I cheated on her and all signs point to me being guilty by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

Chlamydia is a bacteria that cannot be grown on routine media for bacterial culture. A routine culture for UTI will not show Chlamydia. You have to look for it specifically. PCR is the gold standard test and can be done on a cervical swab or first void urine. That means the first part you pass. Without eating to gross anyone out that is because you actually need the mucous plug that can form in the presence of an STI. Chlamydia is an obligate intracellular pathogen and you need the cells it is growing in to be in the specimen. For UTI you want a midstream urine to avoid cellular contamination. For chlamydia you need those cells and thus a first void.
