Prevalence
STDs are highly prevalent worldwide, with millions of new infections reported each year. Some common STDs include chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, human papillomavirus (HPV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Treatment
The treatment for STDs varies depending on the specific infection. Bacterial STDs such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis can often be treated and cured with antibiotics. Viral STDs such as herpes and HIV cannot be cured, but medications can help manage symptoms, control the infection, and reduce the risk of transmission.
