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.
