Explanation:

Question 11

To determine the difference between bacterial and viral STDs, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Bacterial STDs (e.g., chlamydia, gonorrhea) can be treated with antibiotics and cured. Viral STDs (e.g., HIV, herpes) can be managed but not cured. This is correct.
• Option b: This is the opposite of the correct fact.
• Option c: There's no gender - based prevalence pattern as described here for bacterial and viral STDs.

If an STD is left untreated, many complications can occur. For example, untreated chlamydia or gonorrhea can lead to infertility (sterility), untreated syphilis can cause blindness and even death in the late stages. So the statement is true.

• Option a: Unprotected sex is a high - risk behavior for getting HIV.
• Option b: Abstinence (not engaging in sexual activity) is the only 100% safe way to avoid getting HIV through sexual transmission, and also avoids transmission through needle - sharing related to sexual behavior (if applicable).
• Option c: Sharing needles is a high - risk behavior for HIV transmission (e.g., in intravenous drug use).

Answer:

a. Bacterial STD'S can be treated and cured and Viral STD'S cannot
