Which of the following sexually-transmitted infections (STIs) cannot be cured?

  1. Chlamydia

  2. Gonorrhea

  3. Genital herpes

  4. Syphilis

The correct answer is: Genital herpes

Genital herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), which is known for being a lifelong infection. Once contracted, the virus remains in the body and can lead to recurrent outbreaks of sores or blisters in the genital area. Although antiviral medications can help manage symptoms and reduce the frequency of outbreaks, there is currently no cure for genital herpes. In contrast, the other infections mentioned, such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis, are bacterial STIs and can be effectively treated and cured with appropriate antibiotic therapy when diagnosed promptly. Understanding the differences between viral and bacterial STIs is essential in managing sexual health and recognizing the importance of preventive measures.
