Chlamydia and human papilloma virus (HPV) are both known to potentially increase the risk of infertility if left untreated. Chlamydia can cause scarring and blockages in the fallopian tubes, while HPV can cause abnormal cell growth on the cervix that may require surgical intervention and potentially affect fertility. HIV and gonorrhea can also impact fertility, but they are not as commonly known for doing so as chlamydia and HPV. Syphilis and hepatitis C do not typically affect fertility at all, and while herpes and trichomoniasis can cause complications during pregnancy, they are not known for causing infertility.
