How easy is it to cure an std?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on the STD: Viral STD's like herpes, HIV, HPV are never cured but there are meds that can reduce risk involved. Germs like gonorrhea,chlamydia and syphilis are curable with various meds but the treatment period varies.The best thing to do if your life exposes you to these is testing every 6 mo or anytime you think you have picked something up.
