HPV is a virus that causes all kinds of warts -- warts on your hands, knees, feet, and genitals. There are many subtypes; some are sexually transmitted, and some are not. All are spread by skin-to-skin contact.

Genital human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a common sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by human papillomavirus. This is a group of more than one hundred viruses, at least thirty-five of which can infect the genital tissues. HPV is spread by direct contact of infected tissue with uninfected tissue during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. (Encyclopedia of Public Health)

Yes, that is possible. Because of the inflammation that results from chlamydia, it's easier for other pathogens that cause STDs to infect you.
