if the doc just done a pap and looked at the slide yes it is possible to confuse the two. BUT if the actual std test was done then you probably do have chlamydia.

The incubation period for chlamydia can be up to 6 weeks, therefore it would not show up on a test.This may be a reason as to way previous tests were negative.If you are not satisfied with your diagnosis you should talk to your doctor.
Yeast and chlamydia would never be confused by a competent lab technician. A yeast infection is a fungus, while chlamydia is a bacteria, and both are very distinguishable from each other in lab tests.
