Can Amoxicillin cure Chlamydia?

I was recently told by an ex ( I ended the relationship) that she had been diagnosed with Chlamidya and that I should get myself checked.   Because of the timing, and because I have had ex-girlfriends say this before (which lead to negative tests for myself), I am hesitant to believe her.

Coincidentally, I am taking amoxicillin 500mg 3 times daily to treat a dental infection (for 10 days).  I know that I should still get tested to be safe, and I plan on doing that as soon as I have the money (dental work kinda drained my funds for now)

My question is though, can I at least have some peace of mind that if I were infected with chlamydia, the Amoxicillin would take care of the infection?  As I said I know that I should still get tested, and I plan to on pay day, but I would just like some insight.  I have not had intercourse for a few months now, the last person I was intimate with was the person in question.

Thank you.
