Most females (80-90%) and many males with chlamydia have no symptoms. You can still get chlamydia from someone without symptoms. For this reason, regular screening is important.
Yes, you can carry chlamydia without transmitting it. The chances of getting chlamydia from someone who's infected are between 40-60% each time you have sex. Also, if you don't have sexual contact while you're infected, you won't transmit it.
To clarify, a "carrier" of an infectious disease is someone who has the infection, but doesn't have any symptoms. Someone carrying chlamydia is still infected, and will test positive for chlamydia. It's possible to have chlamydia without having symptoms, and to be able to spread the infection to sex partners.
If your partner completed treatment, and waiting to have sex until seven days after single-dose treatment, or until seven-day treatment is completed, you won't get chlamydia from them as long as they didn't get reinfected after treatment. One in ten patients catches chlamydia again within months of treatment, so repeat testing is recommended two to three months after treatment.
In summary, it makes sense for both partners to get tested for chlamydia before starting a sexual relationship.
