Explanation

STDs caused by viruses are not curable. Herpes, HPV/genital warts and HIV are such examples. They can all be treated to control symptoms or help a person live a healthier life. Hepatitis B infection can be prevented if a person gets the vaccine before he or she is exposed to the virus. Unfortunately, there currently aren’t any cures for viral infections.
