No you have to have sex with someone who has Chlamydia to get it. You can get a yeast infection without having sex; it's not really an "infection" that you catch, but an imbalance in the normal flora of the vagina.
Because the symptoms of chlamydia are usually absent or hardly noticable, it's not hard to imagine a woman treating herself repeatedly with over-the-counter yeast infection treatments, not realizing that something else is wrong. Follow the instructions on yeast medication and get examined if you don't have long-lasting relief from symptoms.

Can a yeast infection be a sign of chlamydia?
A yeast infection is not a sign of chlamydia.
How can a yeast infection produce a viral strand of chlamydia?
A yeast infection can not do so. And chlamydia is not viral. A yeast infection can't cause or lead to chlamydia, and chlamydia is a bacterial infection. You get chlamydia from sexual contact with someone who's infected. It's spread by oral, anal, or vaginal sex; genital-genital contact; sharing sex toys; or birth to an infected mother.
Can chlamydia be mistaken for a yeast infection?
A yeast infection is diagnosed by looking at vaginal discharge under a microscope. Chlamydia is diagnosed via a cervical swab or urine test. If laboratory testing is used, you can't mistake one for the other.
Is chlamydia a highly contagious yeast infection?
It is not; they are separate causes. Chlamydia is bacterial, and yeast is fungal.
How do chlamydia and yeast infection get misdiagnosed?
It's hard to imagine who chlamydia and yeast infection could be confused. Yeast and chlamydia are very different organisms.

Sometimes patients mistake this chain of events to mean that the yeast infection diagnosis was incorrect.
