Question:
Answers:
Chlamydia and gonorrhea require one very potent dose of antibiotics, then it takes a week to clear.

Syphilis requires one (painful) shot of Bicillin G (a type of penicillin), and three MONTHS of followup to make sure the bacteria have been decimated in your body.

Herpes is not curable, but can be treated with suppressive therapy. That means daily doses of cyclovir-class drugs (Valtrex, Famvir, Zovirax).

HPV is not curable, but requires a lot of followup to make sure it's not progressing to cancer. Warts can be removed surgically.

HIV is not curable, but HAART (highly active anti-retroviral therapy) drugs can limit viral load and prevent decimation of immune cells.

18 years 4 months 2 weeks 7 hours 39 minutes and 56 seconds.
Well it depends on the disease there is no cure for some those that can be cured generally treatment is 1 week.
Depending on the disease, the treatment time will vary.
Since most diseases are diagnosed with a test, your doctor will be able to recommend the proper cure. Most often, it is a shot or a round of medication. Most STD's are curable, however, herpes is only manageable. Like HIV, it has no cure. Your doctor can, however, prescribe a medication such as Valtrex to manage any outbreaks and their severity. The best cure is prevention! Cheers!
