Are there any stds that are curable?

Q: I was wondering if there are any stds that are cureable? I have been having unprotected sex and now i am extremely paranoid. I have been having pain when i urinate and my vagina is extremely red and sore like its raw. Also i have been having white discharge. Whats the chances of it just being a yeast infection??

A: Hep A and B are curable but Hep C is not.You are going thru the ealry stages of Gonorhea. So if i were you i would lay off the s e x for 3 months and hope the symptoms improve. If they don’t and get more serious, then the Gonorhea is mutating into its next stage.But do use a douche 1x a day every day for 7 days for starters.Then GENTLY rub a very small amount of Corn oil or Peanut oil on ur labia majora at night. Dont use olive oil as it is slightly acidic.Dont use Mineral oil or white petrolatum (vaseline jelly) because these are petrochems that can irritate raw skin.

What STDs are curable and which are just treatable? can you have sex?

Q: i was just wondering, which STDs are curable and which are treatable. what are the treatments? and if you have one can you still have sex? condoms are not 100 percents preventable. i also heard that you can still have sex as long as you are not having an outbreak and the symptoms are in “remission” or something like that. im just curious and would like to be informed! so no negative comments. i think its important to stay educated and aware.

A: In general the bacterial STDs are curable (chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis) with antibiotic treatment. Viral ones (HIV, HPV-warts, herpes) are generally not. You can also get hepatitis B and C from sex (although not specifically an STD because you can get it from other places as well). The viral ones have treatment, but it is more management rather than cure. The medication is usually a pretty strict, controlled use of anti-viral medications so the virus cannot replicate within you (and it is harder to spread). Treatment varies based on the disease itself (HIV mutates and becomes resistant quickly, cells with warts might be just frozen or cut off etc). Remission is with herpes. It is the same idea as a cold sore on your lip-the virus is not always actively replicating. It can be spread in the early phases (where you normally feel a tingling on your lip if cold sore) and when you can see the sore itself. Many STDs are asymptomatic so people do not know they have them and can spread it so it is good to be tested regularly if you are sexually active and don’t have sex with a bunch of different people.

are most STDs curable or will you die from them?

Q: I was under the impression that if you get an STD, you will generally die sooner due to health complications. But after reading on the most common ones such as Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and HPV, these are curable with antibiotics. Does this mean it cures the disease completely, or just breakouts?

A: Not all STDs are curable, but some are.Bacterial STDs, such as Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and Syphilis are completely curable with antibiotics. If you treat them this way, they you will successfully get rid of the infection and it will not spontaneously come back. However, this does nto mean you are immune to them. Even if you’ve had a bacterial STD once and successfully cured it, you can still contract it agian. Also, even though it is curable, if Syphilis is left untreated it can lead to some serious health problems and even Death. The viral STDs, such as HIV, Herpes, and HPV are NOT curable. However, most HPV infections clear up on their own and there are many treatment options; they are generally harmless unless you contract one of the strains that can lead to cervical cancer- then you may have a problem, so it is important to get checked. Herpes, although not curable and quite possibley a big nuissance, will not lead to death. HIV, if progressed to AIDS, is certainly fatal; however, with a strict meds regimen, a good diet, lots of exercise, and overall good health practices, people living HIV can lead very long, healthy lives nowadays. So to sum it up, STDs are not death sentences. However, all STDs pose the risk of creating other health problems that you will not want to deal with, so it is still important to be safe and use protection. Also, upon possible exposure to an STD, it is best to be tested as soon as possible so you can be treated as soon as possible to try to minimize complications.
