Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While there are treatments available for genital herpes, there is currently no cure for the virus. Treatments can help manage symptoms and reduce outbreaks, but the virus remains in the body for life. Therefore, identifying genital herpes as curable with treatment indicates a lack of understanding and requires additional teaching. The other STIs listed (syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia) are all curable with antibiotics.
