No, you cannot get chlamydia from yeast infections. Chlamydia is a bacteria and yeast is a fungus. Sometimes the symptoms are similar, and you can have both chlamydia and yeast at the same time, but yeast does not cause chlamydia.
Cervical cancer and abnormal cervical cells are 99% of the time caused by a virus called HPV, or human papillomavirus. Since it is a virus, it is not linked to Chlamydia.
However, both HPV and chlamydia are sexually transmitted, so if you have sex with someone who has both HPV and chlamydia, you put yourself at risk for getting both infections.
Chlamydia is curable with a specific antibiotic that your healthcare professional can prescribe. Yeast is curable with over the counter medications such as Monistat or with a prescription-only pill called Diflucan. Currently there is no cure for HPV.
