gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV/AIDS

1. Human Reproductive System

2. Gonorrhea
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection that
is caused by the bacteria
Neisseria gonorrhoeae

4. Spreading
 The infection is usually through vaginal, oral, or
anal sex.
 A pregnant women can pass on the infection
to her unborn infant (eye)

6. Symptoms
 Half of women with gonorrhea (cervix) do not
have symptoms
 Most infected men with symptoms have
inflammation of the urethra associated with a
burning sensation during urination

7.  if gonorrhea is left untreated, it may spread
locally, causing inflammation
throughout the body,
affecting joints and heart
valves.

9.  All people testing positive for gonorrhea
should be tested for
other sexually
transmitted diseases
such as chlamydia, syphilis, and human
immunodeficiency virus

10. Treatment and Prevention
 No having sex with infected person
 Vaccine
 Antibiotic

11. Syphilis
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused
by the bacteria
Treponema pallidum

13. Spreading
 Syphilis is most commonly spread through sexual
activity
 It can be transmitted via blood products
 It may also be transmitted from mother to baby
during pregnancy or at birth

14.  It is not generally possible to
contract syphilis through
toilet seats, daily activities, hot tubs, or
sharing eating utensils or clothing

15. Symptoms
The signs and symptoms of syphilis vary depending
in which of the four stages it presents
(primary, secondary, latent, and
tertiary)

16. Primary
 Primary syphilis is typically acquired by direct
sexual contact with the infectious
lesions of another person
 a skin lesion (Penis), called a chancre

17. Secondary
 occurs approximately four to ten weeks after the
primary infection
 symptoms most commonly involve the skin,
mocous membrane, and lymph node
 fever, sore throat, weight loss, hair loss, and
headache

19. Latent
having serologic proof of infection
without symptoms of disease

21. Tertiary
 Tertiary syphilis may occur approximately 3 to
15 years after the initial infection
 People with tertiary syphilis are not
infectious

23. Treatment and
Prevention
 Not having sex with infected person
 Vaccine
 Antibiotics

24. HIV-Aids
 Human immunodeficiency virus infection and
acquired immune deficiency syndrome
(HIV/AIDS) is a spectrum of conditions caused
by
infection with the HIV

25. Spreading
 HIV is spread primarily by having sex
 Contaminated blood transfusions and hypodermic
needles
 From mother to child during pregnancy, delivery, or
breastfeeding.
 Some bodily fluids, such as saliva and tears do
not transmit HIV

26. Symptoms
There are three main stages of HIV infection:
acute infection, clinical
latency and AIDS

27. Acute Infection (4 weeks)
Many individuals develop an influenza-like
illness or can be no specific symptoms.

29. Clinical Latency (over
three to six months)
 While typically there are few or no symptoms at
first
 Near the end, many people experience
fever, weight loss,
gastrointestinal problems and
muscle pains

30. Acquired
immunodeficiency
syndrome (AIDS)
 In the absence of specific treatment, around half
of people infected with HIV develop AIDS within
ten years

31.  Additionally, people with AIDS frequently have
systemic symptoms such as
prolonged fevers, sweats (particularly
at night), swollen lymph nodes, chills,
weakness, and unintended weight loss

33. Treatment and Preventing
 No having sex
 No blood contact with infected person
 Vaccine
 Medicine
