My boyfriend gave me an STI

I'm so confused and hurt right now. My (27f) boyfriend (32m) tried to break up with me after I informed him that he gave me an STI. I got my test results back today and I tested positive for trich. I know he gave it to me because I got tested after we first started seeing each other, and I've only been with him.

He got really angry with me and told me that this wasn't important enough to tell him in person, that I ruined his day, and that I should have just texted him about it. I was really upset and I thought it was best to have the conversation in person because it affected him too. But he completely dismissed it, and told me he just didn't want to talk to me and asked me to take him home.

I understand this means there is a good chance he cheated on me. And he did address that by saying that I "implied" it and he completely denies it. But then he started saying that we should break up now, and that he's unhappy, ect. And it made zero sense because everything has been okay. I asked him to help me understand what I did wrong and he refused, and told me to just go home. He said he's really starting to resent me.

I'm at a complete loss and I feel bewildered. I have tried so hard to meet his needs lately and I've tried to do everything right and no matter what he just keeps pushing me away. I don't want to lose him. I don't even know what to make of any of this or how to feel. Is there an explanation for his behavior? I don't think he's ever going to tell me. He could very well just ghost me at this point and never talk to me again. He has done it before.
