Question

What is a bacterial infection passed from person to person through contact with sores on the genitals, anus, rectum, or mouth that can cause long-term complications and/or death if not adequately treated?

Chlamydia
Herpes
Gonorrhea
Syphilis

Answer 1

The bacterial infection you are referring to is **Syphilis**. It is transmitted through direct contact with sores and can lead to serious long-term complications and even death if not adequately treated. While Chlamydia and Gonorrhea are also sexually transmitted infections, they typically do not present with sores. Herpes, on the other hand, is caused by a virus and is distinct from bacterial infections.
