• C. A and C only
• D. D and E only

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To determine which sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are not completely curable from the provided list, we need to understand the nature of these diseases.

1. Genital warts are caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). While treatment can remove the warts, the virus may remain in the body and could lead to recurrence. Therefore, it is generally not considered "completely curable".
2. Genital herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). This virus remains in the body for life. Symptoms can be managed with medication, but the disease itself is not curable.
3. Syphilis is caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. It can be cured completely with appropriate antibiotic treatment, especially in the early stages.
4. Hepatitis B is a viral infection that affects the liver. Although treatment is available, and a vaccine can prevent it, once chronic hepatitis B infection is established, it is often not completely curable.
5. Trichomoniasis is caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis and can be typically cured with antibiotics.

From the analysis above, the diseases not completely curable are:

• B. Genital herpes
• D. Hepatitis B

Thus, the correct answer is B and D only.
