Yes, your partner is at risk and should probably be headed to the doctor for medication to treat his possible infection as well.
Do not engage in sexual acts until the doctor gives you the OK and all-clear on your health. Many people end up "keeping" chlamydia when they engage in sexual acts with someone because the same strain just keep going back-and-forth from partner to partner.
So, yes, your guy needs to got to the doctor and say that he has been having sexual contact with someone with chlamydia and needs to be tested for it.
Just talk to him and tell him like anyone else in this situation has to: "Well, I went for my regular check-up and I got this thing back from my doctor that says I have had chlamydia and need treatment for it. Since we have sexual relations then you are at risk of having it too. You really need to go to the doctor and tell them I have it so you can make sure everything is ok with you. This is really important!"
Untreated chlamydia can leave some nasty problems in the future.
For women: "For women, one of the most serious consequence of chlamydia is Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, or PID. PID occurs when a bacterial infection, such as chlamydia, moves into the upper reproductive tract. The uterus, fallopian tubes, and surrounding areas may become swollen, scarred, or filled with pus. Although PID can sometimes be treated with antibiotics and anti-inflammatories, surgery may also necessary.
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease is the leading causes of preventable infertility in the United States. Each episode of PID increases a woman’s risk of becoming infertile. It is also associated with ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy in the fallopian tubes instead of the uterus), chronic pelvic pain, and even death. Fortunately, the most serious complications of PID are largely preventable if women are regularly screened and treated for chlamydia and other bacterial infections.
If a woman with untreated chlamydia becomes pregnant, it can also affect the health of her baby. Chlamydia is associated with pre-term birth. Pre-term birth is when a baby is born before it is fully developed. This can have long-term health consequences for the infant. Chlamydia infection during pregnancy is also associated with infant eye infections and pneumonia. Worldwide, chlamydia eye infections of are one of the leading causes of preventable blindness. "
For men: "Untreated chlamydia infections in men are also problematic. They can lead to a condition called epididymitis – an infection of the tubes where sperm mature in the testicles. With epididymitis, men may experience atrophy, or shrinking, of the infected testicle. They may also get abscesses, or pus-filled lesions, in their scrotum. Finally, just as in women, if chlamydia remains untreated it can lead to infertility."

Tell your partner immediately so he can get a doctor's appointment and begin treatment. No sexual contact until everything is cleared up and OK'd by your doctor! Your health is important and worth the wait, I'm sure!
