• C. Early diagnosis help in completely curing most of the STDs.
• D. Antibiotics can cure all the STDs.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Antibiotics can cure all the STDs.

Majority of the STDs are caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi. Some are caused by other organisms like protozoans, arthropods too.

Antibiotics can cure STDs like syphilis, gonorrhea which are caused by bacteria. But STDs caused by other pathogens like viruses are not curable by antibiotics. Thus antibiotics cant cure all the STDs

STDs can lead to various complications in both sexes. Some of them include abortions, stillbirths, pelvic inflammatory diseases, infertility, or even cancer.

Early detection of most STDs helps to relieve the symptoms and completely curing the disease. Diseases such as AIDS, Hepatitis B, etc still remain incurable.
