Many STDs can be cured with prescription drugs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and trichomoniasis. Viral diseases, such as herpes and HIV, can be treated but not necessarily cured.
You should go to your doctor or a clinic if you think you have an STD. Sometimes your symptoms may go away, but you are still infected and can transmit the disease to other people.
Here are some sites with more information:

Unless treated, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia will be with you forever. They are curable though. Syphilis will eventually drive you insane if left untreated. The others will eventually kill you if left untreated.
Herpes, genital warts & HIV are incurable, but treatable.
Go see your doctor if you think you have one. NONE will just go away. Can't go to the doctor? Talk to your parents. Talk to clergy. Or go to planned parenthood. If you have one of these diseases, get it treated!
Not to sound mean or all parental, but you took a big step towards being an adult. NOW comes the responsiblity of BEING an adult. Sometimes you have to take care of stuff.
In chapter 2, maybe we will talk safe sex, but you don't need that right now.

All bacterial STDs are curable. Bacterial STDs include chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. Trichomoniasis, scabies, and pubic lice (crabs), which are all caused by parasites, can also be cured.
Viral STDs are NOT curable. These STDs include herpes, HPV, HIV, and hepatitis. There are treatments for these STDs but there are no cures. However, most people are able to get rid of HPV all on their own. Their bodies are basically able to "fight off" the virus. Some people though will always have the virus and are unable to get rid of it.

Yeah some STD's go away like Herpes but most of them don't. AIDS and HIV last forever and there's no cure. But don't worry if those aren't what you have because there's a lot of medicine and perscription drugs out there that will take care of your STDs so that it won't get out of hand and ruin your life.

You can get medication for most. Warts, herpes, HPV, and HIV/AIDS don't go away. You can get medication to lessen the outbreaks of herpes and warts
