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.
