Bacterial STIs, such as gonorrhea, syphilis, and chlamydia, are often
cured with antibiotics. Viral STIs, such as HIV, HPV ( which may cause
certain types of cancers and genital warts), herpes, and hepatitis — the
four Hs — have no cure. However many of their symptoms can be
alleviated with treatment. If you're sexually active with more than one person, or with someone
who's sexually active with others, "respect yourself, protect yourself"
by having safer sex and getting regular check-ups.
