No no, you have it wrong, the person you're replying to is clearly just more comfortable with the topic of sex than you, and therefore we are expected to infer, better at it than you. This is the actual message of their comment, and all that are like it.

I've noticed a lot of comments like theirs whenever STD's come up. It's just strange to me that people value choice over their own health. Like yeah you have a right to jump off a cliff to spite others who tell you it's dangerous, but ultimately you are the loser there... idk
You must be kidding. You are accusing the CDC of using a scientific fact (that is pretty obvious) of "Pushing a Christian agenda"?
First of all, you are using HSV1 stats, which aren't the ones we are talking about, we are talking about Genital Herpes, which among adults affects only about 13%.

And "syphilis Gets cured with antibiotics" isnt that accurate either. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9785152/
If you have the money for antibiotics, which many don't and you catch it early enough, which some don't, then yes it can be cured. However, as that link shows there are emergent antibiotic resistant strains that can absolutely destroy your life.
As far as HPV goes there are huge sections of the population who don't have the HPV vaccine, some can't afford it even.
People can do what they want, but objectively being promiscuous is dangerous to your health. It's less a question of it, but rather when.
