Question
Which of the following is not a bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI), which means that it cannot be treated with antibiotics?Multiple choice question.gonorrheachlamydiagenital herpessyphilis
Solution
The correct answer is "genital herpes". This is because genital herpes is caused by a virus (either the herpes simplex virus type 1 or type 2), not bacteria. Antibiotics, which are used to treat bacterial infections, are not effective against viruses. Therefore, while gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis (all bacterial STIs) can be treated with antibiotics, genital herpes cannot.
