Brief Answer:
You have acute chlamydia.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you writing in healthcare magic

Based on your data, IgA positive and IgG negative I think you have acute infection from chlamydia.
Please could you tell me if you had symptoms ?

Usually I treat my patient with one dose azythromicin 1 gr or doxycicline 2x1 tb for 7 days.
During this time you shouldn't have sexual intercourse and you can test again 1 week after the treatment.

I hope my answer helps you.
Regards.
