The answer is the second one: Chlamydia.

Explanation for each option:

  1. HIV: HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is not treated with antibiotics. Instead, it is managed with antiretroviral therapy (ART), which is safe to use during pregnancy to reduce the risk of mother-to-child transmission.

  2. Chlamydia: Chlamydia is a bacterial infection that can be treated with antibiotics, even during pregnancy. Antibiotics such as azithromycin or amoxicillin are commonly used and considered safe for pregnant women.

  3. Hepatitis B: Hepatitis B is a viral infection and is not treated with antibiotics. Antiviral medications may be used in certain cases, but these are not antibiotics.

  4. Genital herpes: Genital herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus and is not treated with antibiotics. Antiviral medications, such as acyclovir, are used to manage outbreaks and reduce transmission risk.

In summary, Chlamydia is the sexually transmitted infection from the list that can be treated with antibiotics during pregnancy.
