Explanation:

• Option A: Many STIs (sexually - transmitted infections) like chlamydia, gonorrhea (bacterial STIs) can be cured with antibiotics. However, viral STIs such as herpes, HIV (in most cases) can only be managed. For example, herpes outbreaks can be lessened in frequency and severity with antiviral medications, but the virus remains in the body.
• Option B: Viral STIs (e.g., HIV, herpes) cannot be cured with antibiotics. Antibiotics work against bacteria, not viruses.

A. Many STIs can be cured with proper treatment, but some can only be managed.
