Does having chlamidia mean you have hiv?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
No: Chlymidia and HIV are two separate entities the former caused by a spirochete and the later a virus. Not to be your father but you may want to make better choices or next time you may not be so lucky.

No: But it means you are at increased risk for several reasons. Having unprotected intercourse ever is a risk. Having a sexually transmitted infection weakens the vaginal barrier and makes it easier to get infected with hiv. Also, the partner who gave you chlamydia may have also given you hiv. Please get tested now, and repeat in 6 months. Please always use a condom. Good luck.

No: Chlamydia and HIV are two totally different infections. Chlamydia is a bacterial infection that is easily treated with antibiotics. Once it's gone you don't have it any more, unless you get it from a sexual partner at another time. So don't worry. Get yourself - and your partner - treated.
