How likely am i to get a pid if i had chlamydia?

If you get treated: It is unlikely if you get treated and your sexal partner is treated as well.

Depends: If chlamydia was successfully treated than you won't get pid unless you caught it again, if left untreated the chances for pid are fairly good.
