BACTERIAL STD TREATMENT: Most bacterial STDs can be cured by ANTIBIOTICS. VIRAL STD PREVENTION: abstinence and/or effective condom use TREATMENT: NO CURE!!! But some viral infections can “treated” with antiviral medication to help prevent outbreak and transmission. PARTNER SIGNATURE: Communication: Find a partner and compare Venn diagrams. ADD any additional information learned to your Venn diagram in RED INK.
