Chlamydia does not turn into HIV. They are separate diseases caused by different pathogens. But people who get chlamydia are also at risk for HIV. All people with chlamydia should get tested for HIV and other sexually transmissible infections.

∙ 10y agoGonorrhea cannot "turn into" HIV. They are two different diseases. The presence of gonorrhea can, however, make it more likely that a person will contract HIV.
No. Gonorrhoea and HIV are completely different sexually transmitted infections (STIs). However statistically, people with any kind of STI are more at risk of contracting other forms of STIs including HIV.
If you have gonorrhoea then you are at risk of having other STIs and should have a full sexual health screen.
To reduce your risk in the future - make sure you use condoms every time!

∙ 10y agoChlamydia is a common bacterial infection that is sexually transmitted. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). HIV is contracted by exposure to infected blood, semen, vaginal fluid or breast milk.
Being infected with Chlamydia can place someone at higher risk for acquiring HIV, because the infection makes the body more susceptible to other sexually transmitted diseases. However, without being exposed to HIV, a person will not become infected with it.
Chlamydia does not cause or turn into HIV.

Can an HIV test detect chlamydia?

If you've had chlamydia in the past is it easier to get HIV?
It's easier to get HIV while you have chlamydia because of changes in the reproductive tract due to infection. Also, if you haven't changed the risk factors that made getting chlamydia possible, you are also at risk for HIV. I don't know of any research or mechanism by which past chlamydia can increase the risk of future HIV.
Is HIV in chlamydia bacteria?
No. HIV virus is different from chlamydia, although they share risk factors. Someone diagnosed with one should be tested for the other.
Can chlamydia cause pregnancy?
No, chlamdydia could cause a miscarriage though. Chlamydia does not cause problems if you treat it right away. But left untreated, it can lead to serious problems, especially for women: * If it spreads it can cause pelvic inflammatory disease. This serious infection can make it hard or impossible for a woman to get pregnant. * Pregnant women who have chlamydia often pass it to their babies at birth. If the infection gets in a baby's eyes, it can cause blindness. They can also have other problems, like pneumonia. Pneumonia can be deadly in a newborn. * Having chlamydia makes a person more likely to get HIV from someone who is infected with HIV. HIV is the virus that causes AIDS.
