Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Syphilis is a bacterial infection caused by Treponema pallidum, which can be cured with antibiotics, typically penicillin. The other options, herpes and genital warts (caused by the herpes simplex virus and human papillomavirus (HPV), respectively), are viral infections for which there is no cure, but symptoms can be managed. Hepatitis can be caused by different viruses (e.g., hepatitis A, B, C), and while some forms can be managed or prevented with vaccines or antiviral drugs, not all are curable.
