Hello-
yes it is. Chlamydia is caused by the bacteria (chlamydia trachomatis) that enter the body during sexual activity and can lead to infection of the genitals (penis or vagina). It can also infect the mouth or anus following oral or anal sex. Most of the time chlamydia is a “silent” infection meaning it doesn't cause any symptoms.

As many as 75% of infections in women and 50% of infections in men have no symptoms associated with the Chlamydia whatsoever. Chlamydia is a type of STI. STIs are sexually transmitted infections or diseases. It is extremely common due to the ease with which it spreads. Also, the fact that there are often no symptoms associated with Chlamydia makes it even harder to diagnose and deal with. However, there may be a few observable symptoms such as:

I was exposed in 27th of march with an escort and I only had unprotected oral sex (fellatio) for 1 min, this was my first ever sexual exposure. 3 days after exposure I was having tingling in the tip of the penis which lasted for around 15 to 20 days on 5th april I went to a gp and she recommended me to go for hsv 1&2dna pcr 10 days after exposure so I got tested on 9th of april and my reports came out negative, still I was experiencing tingling in the tip of the penis, after 30 days post exposure I went for std test (hiv 1&2 antibodies and p24 antigen, hcv, hsv 1&2 antibodies, syphilis rpr, chlamydia antibody test) all of them came out negative except chlamydia igm was 1.11 (which is equivocal nether positive nor negative) and igg was 0.37. 1 month post exposure. I showed my reports to my gp, she said I do not require a treatment as my my reports aren't positive for chlamydia nor negative but either way I opted for treatment and she gave me 1g azithral which I took on 2nd may, 10 days after taking azithromycin I was still experiencing symptoms and had mild pain in epididymis for 3 days so I went to a venereology doctor on 12th may and explained him what I mentioned above he gave me a 7 days course of antibiotics ofloxacin 200 mg twice a day, along with an anti allergy. After completing the course I was not having tingling issue but 18th of may I started to notice burning sensation in the tip of the penis mostly inside meatus. So I got tested again for chlamydia and my reports came out negative for both igg, igm antibody this test was 4 weeks after taking antibiotics. But still to this day i'm experiencing burning sensation in my penis meatus and it's not burning while urinating and my fluids intakes is absolutely fine I do take plenty of water etc. I searched it in the internet to diagnose my symptoms and I found out that hpv might cause burning sensation in penis. And that burning sensation isn't persistent, sometimes I have it like 2 hrs in a day, sometimes 2 days later for 10 mins within 12 hrs it's completely random. Can hpv cause burning sensation in my penis, I request you to please me out with my problem thank you.

Hello-
chlamydia is a common std that can infect both men and women. It can cause serious, permanent damage to a woman's reproductive system. This can make it difficult or impossible for her to get pregnant later on. Chlamydia can also cause a potentially fatal ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy that occurs outside the womb).
