Detailed Answer:
Hi xxxxx,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. STD is sexually transmitted disease and you are aware of it. These are a group of infections commonly transmitted by sexual activities from one person to another. Any STD is dangerous because it causes problems like infertility, higher chance of other STDs and some are also cancer related.

2. STDs can be grouped as bacterial and viral depending up on the nature of the causative organism. There are 4 main bacteria which are important STDs and this includes gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia and trichomoniasis. The important viral STDs are herpes, Hepatitis B, HIV and HPV.

3. The bacterial STDs are curable with short course of medicines and the viral infections cannot be cured and are for life long. Therefore viral STDs are more dangerous than bacterial ones.

4. In viral STDs HIV is most dangerous followed by hepatitis B. HPV and herpes are less dangerous because they usually are not life threatening and will not cause any significant chronic infection.

5. Speaking of transmission of viral STDs herpes is most transmissible followed by HPV. Hepatitis B and HIV are less transmitted. In bacterial STDs trichomoniasis and chlamydia cause most infections followed by gonorrhea and syphilis.

Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.
