Of these, 4 are currently curable: syphilis, gonorrhoea, chlamydia and trichomoniasis.
Trichomoniasis, or “trich/trick,” is the most common curable STI. Trich is caused by infection with a parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis. Infection can increase your risk of getting or spreading other STIs, including HIV.
The most dangerous viral STD is human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which leads to AIDS. Other incurable viral STDs include human papilloma virus (HPV), hepatitis B and genital herpes.
Currently, there are 4 sexually transmitted infections (STIs or STDs) that are not curable: herpes (HSV), hepatitis B (HBV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and human papillomavirus (HPV).
Viruses such as HIV, genital herpes, human papillomavirus, hepatitis, and cytomegalovirus cause STDs/STIs that cannot be cured. People with an STI caused by a virus will be infected for life and will always be at risk of infecting their sexual partners.
Most people in the U.S. will have at least one sexually transmitted infection (STI) in their lifetime. Many STIs can either be cured or treated with medication. In most people, human papillomavirus (HPV) and hepatitis B will go away on their own.
HPV. While HIV may be the most well-known and feared STD, Human Papillomavirus is the most common. According to the CDC, approximately 79 million Americans are currently infected and nearly all sexually active men and women will contract HPV at some point in their lives.
Herpes is easy to catch. All it takes is skin-to-skin contact, including areas that a condom doesn't cover. You're most contagious when you have blisters, but you don't need them to pass the virus along. Because herpes is a virus, you can't cure it.
Of these, 4 are currently curable: syphilis, gonorrhoea, chlamydia and trichomoniasis. The other 4 are incurable viral infections: hepatitis B, herpes simplex virus (HSV), HIV and human papillomavirus (HPV).
Chlamydia
Chlamydia is the most reported STD, which is an STD that must be reported to local health departments when diagnosed. It is a bacterial infection that can often be cured with a round of antibiotics.

Antibiotics. Antibiotics, often in a single dose, can cure many sexually transmitted bacterial and parasitic infections, including gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia and trichomoniasis.
Chlamydia is one of the most common STIs in women under 25 and is known as a “silent” infection, since most people never experience symptoms.
Essentially, each state's public health act considers STIs to be “notifiable conditions” (i.e., transmissible diseases or conditions that pose a threat to public health), meaning that everyone is responsible for protecting themselves and others from exposure to STIs, by taking reasonable precautions to limit the ...
The report titled HIV, viral hepatitis and sexually transmissible infections in Australia: Annual surveillance report shows that in 2021 there were 86,916 diagnoses of chlamydia, 26,577 of gonorrhoea and 5,570 of infectious syphilis in Australia.
About 16 per cent of Australians report having an STI at some point in their lifetime — that's roughly 4 million people. With the exceptions of hepatitis and HIV, Australia's most common STIs are on the rise.
Super gonorrhea, also referred to as super-resistant gonorrhea, is a case of the common sexually transmitted disease (STD) that resists typical treatment from antibiotics. This type of gonorrhea is referred to as a superbug and is a serious threat to public health.
HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS (HPV) The human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common of the sexually transmitted infections in America. Almost every sexually active person catches it at some point in his or her life.
The upshot is that it's possible for some — not all — STDs to go away by themselves, but it's also possible for STDs to persist for months, years, or the rest of your life. If you could have been exposed to an STD, the best thing to do is get tested — not to hope that if you did get something, it'll just go away.
What is late-stage chlamydia? Late-stage chlamydia refers to an infection that has spread to other parts of the body. For example, it may have spread to the cervix (cervicitis), testicular tubes (epididymitis), eyes (conjunctivitis), or throat (pharyngitis), causing inflammation and pain.
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Infection
HPV is the most common STI in the United States, but most people with the infection have no symptoms.
