aboz56 Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 I believe herpes is the only std that is NOT curable. Gonorreha, Syphilis, Chlamydia, et al are all curable. A simple antibiotic like doxycycline or cipro would kill Gonorreha or Chlamydia, more intensive treatment is needed to cure syphilis. Crabs are also curable, a simple variant on head lice. What std's am I missing? Aids, Warts and Herpes are the only uncurable ones or at least that's what we learned back in good ol' high school.

Yes you are right, those three are incurable because they are viruses and not bacteria like gonorrhea, chlamydia and syphilis etc that are treatable with antibiotics. Though those other three are a bit controllable, you can't fully get rid of them as of now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steff Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 At least Herpes and Wartes don't kill you. Aren't some of the Hepititis not cureable? Hepititis isn't considered a "STD". But you're right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiff Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Syphilis can kill you too if you let it go long enough untreated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
