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.

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.
