There's one practicioner I used to work with for my IC (bladder) issues, and she said that up to 80% of her lyme patients have infected partners.
She typically recommends testing a sexual partner if one has lyme. I asked my new dr. early on if we should test my husband, and she said possibly but let's wait to see how my tests turn out.
That was a couple of months ago and I forgot to ask again! Anyway, my husband has some digestive issues, but that's it...no other lyme symptoms. (And he doesn't eat a great diet, but it's not terrible).
He did test positive for the parasite, "likely protozoa but taxonomy unknown" from the Metametrix stool test. We've not done anything for treating this or any further testing yet.
So how many of you have had your partner tested, and if so what were the results?
