STDs are generally transmitted by oral, anal, and vaginal sex. Some can also be transmitted by genital-genital contact without penetration. Some STDs can also be passed from mother to fetus before birth, or to the baby during vaginal delivery.

Bacterial STDs (syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhea) and the protozoal STD (trichomoniasis) are cured with antibiotics. Pubic lice are cured with topical insecticide. Viral STDs can be treated with antiviral medication to reduce symptoms or complication, but can't be cured. These viral STDs treatable with medication include hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV, and genital herpes. Molluscum contagiosum is a viral STD that is self-limited; it goes away on its own, but the bumps can be removed if desired. There is a vaccine available for hepatitis B that can lower the risk of transmission.

HPV is a different kind of STD with a different kind of treatment. Some subtypes of HPV cause genital warts. There are self-limited, and don't require treatment but can be removed if the patient desires. HPV can also cause cancerous and pre-cancerous lesions of the cervix. These lesions may be treated with freezing or electrosurgical removal. The human papillomavirus itself has no treatment with medication. The HPV vaccine can lower the risk of acquiring high-risk subtypes of HPV, as well as the most common subtypes that cause genital warts.
