Honestly, the fact that 4 STDs are incurable still frightens me.

HIV, HPV, herpes, what’s the fourth one?

At least for HPV there’s a vaccine though.

* HPV vaccine - in use

* Herpes vaccine - 10 different ones in development.[1]

* Hepatitis C - difficult, and several vaccines have been developed that didn't work.[2] Drug treatments are effective, at last, but started at $80,000 and are now down below $30,000 in the US.

Hepatitis C. Although there's a cure for a large percentage of cases, it's still not a cure for everyone.
