A member asked:

Can stis be cured?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Usually: Most are caused by organisms for which effective antibiotics are currently available. A few have developed some degree of resistance but still are susceptible to one or two agents. The earlier you seek treatment, the less likely there will be permanent damage.
