Will an STD Go Away on Its Own?
It depends on the type of infection.
Curable
- Chlamydia — antibiotics
- Gonorrhea — antibiotics
- Syphilis — penicillin
- Trichomoniasis — antibiotics
Manageable Not Curable
- Herpes — antivirals reduce outbreaks
- HIV — ART controls virus
- HPV — most clear spontaneously
Bottom Line
Never assume it will go away. Untreated chlamydia can cause infertility.
