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.
Does having an STD affect the risk of HIV?
Yes it does; you are more apt to catch HIV if infected with a STI.Since the STDs reduce you immune system response, your immune system is less likely to protect you from the HIV infection.Yes having STDs such as herpes and chlamydia does increase the risk of getting and spreading HIV.
