Sexually transmitted: is what they share, but chlamydia is an intracellular bacteria, nit a virus. Since they are sexually transmitted diseases, having either increases the likelyhood of having the other. HPV is carcinogenic and chlamydia causes infertility!

Both Chlamydia: and HPV have similar modes of transmission(STD), but chlamydia is a bacterium and HPV is a virus, so they are biologically completely unrelated.
