Chlamydia is a bacterial sexually transmitted infection spread by fluid contact during oral, anal, or vaginal sex; genital-genital contact; sharing sex toys; or from birth to a mother with chlamydia. It is curable with antibiotics. There is no vaccine on the market in 2014 to cure chlamydia.
Genital HPV is a viral sexually transmitted infection spread by skin-to-skin genital contact as well as during oral sex. It is not curable with antibiotics, but the body clears the infection in 12 to 18 months in the majority of cases. There are vaccines on the market to reduce the risk of HPV-related disease.
No, HPV doesn't affect the accuracy of chlamydia tests.
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.

Chlamydia has been recently implicated as a potential risk factor for coronary artery disease. Studies suggest that the chronic inflammation caused by Chlamydia infection may contribute to the development of atherosclerosis, which can lead to heart disease. However, more research is needed to fully understand the relationship between Chlamydia and coronary artery disease.
Studies exploring the link between Chlamydia trachomatis, Chlamydia pneumonia, and ankylosing spondylitis are ongoing.
No, you cannot get chlamydia from a cat. Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection that is only transmitted between humans through sexual contact.
