Outlook
Most of the common STDs can be cured with treatment.
- In addition to the discomfort of the infection, some STDs can cause other, more serious, long-term problems, including infertility and problems in newborns infected by their mothers during pregnancy such as blindness, bone deformities, mental retardation, and death.
- HIV can only be slowed, not eliminated, and may cause death.
