It's possible to have chlamydia without having symptoms. Once it's treated, the infection is gone. Chlamydia doesn't have a "dormant" phase. However, it's possible for chlamydia to infect people without causing symptoms.
Chlamydia can damage the body, but the germ is gone after effective treatment is completed. Patients being treated should avoid oral, anal, and vaginal intercourse until 7 days after single-dose treatment is complete, or until seven-day treatment is finished.

Can chlamydia lie dormant in a person's body for 20 years without infecting anyone and then have very bad case?
You would have known if you had it for 20 years. I have a friend that had chlamydia and she knew that she had it about 1-2 weeks after getting it. She started to have all kinds of symptoms down there that I won't mention then she went to the doctor and they found out she had chlamydia. So by what I have learned from her, you could not have had it for 20 years with out knowing.
