STDs: Curability and Treatment Myths — NEET Biology

View solution & NCERT explanation
Correct answer: D — If the assertion is false but the reason is true.
NCERT explicitly states “Except for hepatitis-B, genital herpes and HIV infections, other diseases are completely curable if detected early and treated properly.” The Assertion removes the critical qualifier “Except for” making it false - three specific STIs (hepatitis-B, genital herpes, HIV) are NOT completely curable. The Reason is independently true from NCERT regarding the importance of early detection and treatment for STI management.
