You were not sick until 4 years after your last known tick bite, but that doesn't mean you weren't bit AGAIN. I never saw my tick, just the EM rash, which we all know is not a guarantee.
I agree there are too many unknowns to say for sure one way or another, however you getting sick four years later doesn't point towards sexual transmission anymore then it does any of the other countless ways you could have gotten lyme.
I agree with your first statement - that there could be another bite...or the immune system could have been 'handling' the infection...at first.
An EM rash is a guarantee - it IS a symptom of lyme.
