No, not all venereal diseases are curable. Some pathogens like syphilis, gonorrhoea, chlamydia and trichomoniasis and viral infections like hepatitis B, herpes simplex virus (HSV), HIV and human papillomavirus (HPV) are non-curable.
Since venereal diseases are contagious, they can spread from semen, urine, body fluids, coughing, etc. As a result, the patient may experience symptoms within days of coming in contact with the infected individual.
HPV or human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is one of the most common venereal diseases. Patients may not have any symptoms and therefore becomes difficult to diagnose. Get in touch with a doctor if you suspect any symptoms for a proper diagnosis and effective treatment.
