Which of the following is a viral sexually transmitted disease?

Correct answer: B. Genital Herpes

  • A. Dengue
  • B. Genital Herpes
  • C. Gonorrhea
  • D. Syphilis

Explanation

Genital herpes is an STI that develops when someone becomes infected with the Herpes Simplex Virus, usually HSV-2 and sometimes HSV-1. The virus enters through small breaks in the skin or mucosa during sexual contact and establishes a lifelong infection. Once it's in the body, it can stay dormant in nerve cells and reactivate from time to time, causing outbreaks of painful sores or sometimes no symptoms at all.
