I have been tested for chlamydia.. i get those results back in a few days.. my question is.. can you get this std from the penis only touching the top?

Probably not: I don't know what you mean by "touching the top". If your penis was not inside another person's vagina or rectum, it is very unlikely you have chlamydia.
