Chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis and HIV are spread by fluid exchange. They can be prevented with condom use. The first three can also be cured with antibiotics. There is no cure or vaccine for HIV, but there are treatments to stave off onset of AIDS and prolong survival.
Chancroid, syphilis, HPV and herpes are all transmitted by skin contact. Chancroid and syphilis can be cured with antibiotics. HPV and herpes cannot be cured, but they can be treated. There is a vaccine for HPV. Condoms are not perfectly effective at preventing transmission of these infections, but they are far better than not protection at all.

I got diagnosed with the herpes simplex virus (type 2) about six years back, while I was still attending college and had a stupid one-night stand. I realize lots of young ladies will say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a massive mistake that one time and suddenly it seemed like I was going to have to live with the consequences for my entire life. The worst part was feeling I could never date men again. In the end, who wants to go out with someone that has sores round her you-know-what? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/3Lxir everything changed.
Not only was I able to eradicate all traces of the hsv from my body in less than 3 weeks, but I was also able to begin dating again. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so lucky to write that just last week, in front of everyone in a packed restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!!! This method provided the chance to be happy and experience true love. Now I want to help you too by sharing this with the whole World.

It depends on which STD it is. Chlamydia and gonerrhea are highly curable, as is syphillis if caught early enough. Herpes isn't curable, but it is treatable, and if your partner had this and was taking medication for it, it's less likely for you to have contacted it.
AIDS is not curable, but there are many medications for it, though they have serious side effects.
