What medications should be taken for sexually transmitted infections (STIs)?

What medications are required for treating an STD depends entirely on the specific type of infection. It could be HIV/AIDS, gonorrhea, genital warts, genital herpes, or syphilis. An accurate diagnosis of the causative pathogen is essential to select the most appropriate treatment. Some STDs are caused by bacteria and others by viruses; therefore, treatment must be tailored to the specific etiology and clinical presentation.
