Curable Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) can also be referred to as STIs (sexually transmitted infections) or VDs (venereal diseases). They are diseases acquired through sexual intercourse (vaginal, anal, or oral sex) with an infected person. The diseases can either be caused by bacteria or virus. STDs that are curable are often caused by bacteria and cured using prescribed antibiotics. Those caused by a virus are incurable but manageable.
