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 chlamydia cause hpv or cervical cancer?
No, cancer is not a complication of chlamydia. Long-term effects of untreated chlamydia can include chronic pain or infertility, but not cancer. Almost all cervical cancer is due to HPV, a different germ from chlamydia. Chlamydia doesn't cause cervical cancer. However, the same risk factors for chlamydia are risk factors for cervical cancer -- multiple sexual partners, a history of sexually transmissible infection, etc. As for treatment of chlamydia infection, antibiotics are the most common but it will cause drug resistance and can be easily recurrent. Herbal medicine like Fuyan Pill maybe a better option compared with antibiotics, because it is made from Chinese herbs without any side effects and drug resistance.
