Can having bv cause a false positive for chlamydia?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Here are some...: No test carries 100% accuracy. If tested result is marginal or weak (+) and not correlated well with clinical picture, repeat test for confirmation. For chlamydia, most of the infected are asymptomatic. So, either trust the report or repeat it as clinically justified. More? Talk with doc.

No: you can have both. Chlamydia is often asymptomatic. No test is 100% but if it came up positive I would get treated for it to avoid sequella.
