Q.Identify the correct statements from the following
Step 1. Statement (a) is false — chlamydiasis is caused by Chlamydia trachomatis, a bacterium, not a virus.
Step 2. Statement (b) is false — gonorrhoea is caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae; Treponema pallidum (a spirochaete) is the causative agent of syphilis, not gonorrhoea.
Step 3. Statement (c) is false — the true incubation period for syphilis is about 10 to 90 days, not a sex-differentiated 2–14/7–21-day range.
Step 4. Statement (d) is true — since syphilis and gonorrhoea are both bacterial infections, they respond well to antibiotic treatment, unlike viral STIs such as HIV or genital herpes which cannot be cured, only managed.
Statement (d) is correct — syphilis and gonorrhoea, being bacterial STIs, are both readily treated and cured with antibiotics.
