A member asked:

Yes: It's not unusual to have chlamydia and BV. Remember that BV is NOT an infection, it's a bacterial imbalance.

Yes: It's very likely you have both - BV is a vaginal infection, chlamydia is a cervical infection. And actually, BV can make you more likely to acquire chlamydia. You must treat both infections and if symptoms persist, be re-checked by your doctor to make sure the infections have cleared. Chlamydia treatment should also be taken by your partner and no sexual contact until both of you are treated.
