Explanation:

• Option A: Some STIs (e.g., herpes) can be transmitted by oral contact, so this is a correct statement.
• Option B: Some STIs (e.g., HPV) can be transmitted by skin - to - skin contact, so this is a correct statement.
• Option C: While many STIs require medical treatment, some may resolve on their own (e.g., some HPV infections in immunocompetent individuals), but this is not the main misperception here.
• Option D: STIs can be transmitted through various means like oral contact (as in A), skin - to - skin contact (as in B), sharing of contaminated items (in some cases), not just intercourse. This is a common misperception.

Answer:

D. All STIs can only be transmitted through intercourse.
