Question: 145 Which one of the following common sexually transmitted diseases is completely curable when detected early and treated properly?
(1) Hepatitis-B
(2) HIV Infection
(3) Genital herpes
(4) Gonorrhoea
Answer: Option (4)
Explanation:
Sexually transmitted diseases can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens.
Gonorrhoea is a bacterial sexually transmitted disease caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
Bacterial STDs can be completely cured with appropriate antibiotic treatment if detected early.
Hepatitis-B, HIV infection, and genital herpes are viral diseases and cannot be completely cured,
although their symptoms can be managed with treatment.
Therefore, gonorrhoea is the only disease among the given options that is completely
curable when diagnosed early and treated properly.
