Dr. Jiang Weimin
There are many types of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and not all STIs can be cured. Generally, STIs caused by bacteria, chlamydia, or mycoplasma can usually be cured through standardized antibiotic treatment. However, viral STIs—such as genital warts, genital herpes, and HIV/AIDS—are extremely difficult to cure; treatment is limited to alleviating associated symptoms with medications.
