Solution:
Except for hepatitis-B, genital herpes, and HIV infections, other diseases are completely curable if detected early and treated properly.
Genital Herpes is a type of sexually transmitted disease caused by the Herpes simplex virus (HSV). It is treated by oral drugs called Acyclovir, valacyclovir or Femicyclovir.
Human Immunodeficiency Virus specifically affects the helper T cells reducing the number of helper T cells. Due to this, the immune system fails to signal B cells to produce antibodies and cytotoxic T cells to kill infected cells. Thus, the immune system can no longer respond and becomes immune-deficient to many opportunistic infections. Hence, it is named Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome or AIDS.HIV is transmitted via blood and semen.
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that attacks the liver and can cause acute and chronic diseases. The virus is commonly transmitted from mother to child during birth and delivery, as well as through contact with blood or other body fluids like semen, vaginal fluids, and saliva.
