Chlamydia in the rectal area

Question

Asked for Female, 20 Years

I had sex about 4 weeks ago. I got STD tested a few days ago and I got results back that I have chlamydia in the rectum but not the vagina. I'm just confused as to how I have the infection in one place but not the other. Is that possible?
