Detailed Solution

AIDS and hepatitis B are sexually transmitted but do not specifically affect reproductive organs.
AIDS is a condition caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which primarily attacks the immune system and does not specifically affect the reproductive organs.
Hepatitis B primarily affects the liver, and does not specifically affect the reproductive organs.
(1) Genital warts are caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV) and primarily affect the genital area. Genital warts appear as small, flesh-coloured or grayish bumps in the genital area.
(2) Both syphilis and genital herpes can specifically affect the reproductive organs. Syphilis is a bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum and it can cause various symptoms that impact the genitals. Genital herpes is a viral infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV) and commonly results in sores or blisters in the genital area.

(4) Chlamydia is a bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis and it can lead to
various complications in the reproductive system, including pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in females.
