A member asked:
Can a good immune system fight chlamydia and gonorrhoea?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not very well: These germs will easily overwhelm the bodies immune system and have the potential to cause serious damage unless treated with antibiotics. They can sometimes persist within an infected person for an extended period, without obvious symptoms, quietly damaging various structures.In women, sterility is a possible outcome.

NO: This actually a very good question. Strong immune system does not prevent STD infection. Factors that can increase the ability of these STD infections to take hold include beginning sexual activity at an early age, having an untreated STD infection, anorectal penetration, lack of barrier protection. Hope that helps
