Sexually Transmitted Diseases
•
4 likes•747 views
A 22-year-old woman has developed symptoms of a sexually transmitted disease after having sex with her new boyfriend two weeks prior, including slight pain when urinating and a mild fever. She should see a clinic doctor to get properly diagnosed and treated, as self-treatment is not recommended due to the risks of long-term health consequences like infertility if not treated correctly. Sexually transmitted diseases are very common, as many people are asymptomatic carriers, and proper prevention through testing, safe sex practices, and doctor checkups are important to avoid spreading infection to others.

A 22-year-old woman has new symptoms including pain when urinating and a mild fever two days after having sex with her new boyfriend two weeks ago. She should go to a clinic to get tested and treated for a potential sexually transmitted disease (STD) by a doctor, as her symptoms could indicate an infection like chlamydia or gonorrhea. It is common for STDs to show no symptoms, so testing and treatment by a medical professional is important to prevent further spread and long term health issues.

AIDS
The document provides information about HIV/AIDS, including:
- HIV is a virus that causes AIDS by infecting helper T cells. There is no cure for HIV/AIDS.
- AIDS is the late stage of HIV infection where the immune system is severely damaged and people are vulnerable to opportunistic infections.
- HIV is transmitted through bodily fluids and can be contracted through unprotected sex, needle sharing, or from mother to child during birth or breastfeeding.
- The stages of HIV infection progress from initial infection, to asymptomatic infection where the virus is dormant, to symptomatic infection where AIDS develops without treatment.
Std -investigoatory project by rupesh
Blood tests, urine samples, and fluid samples from genital sores can be used to diagnose STIs. Screening for certain STIs is recommended for pregnant women, sexually active women under 25, men who have sex with men, people with HIV, and everyone ages 13 to 64 for HIV. Treatment consists of antibiotics for bacterial infections, antiviral drugs for viral infections like herpes and HIV, and informing partners for testing and treatment. STIs can cause symptoms like sores or discharge but also may cause no symptoms, so testing is important. Risk factors include unprotected sex, multiple partners, substance abuse, and young age. Prevention methods include abstinence, mutual monogamy, STI testing for new partners,

INTRODUCTION
Hidden – 2 meanings
1. taboo subject of sex; not talked about publicly in a serious way

STI vs. STD
STI
Someone who is an infected person
ASYMPTOMATIC may not have any symptoms,
Could be unaware that they are even sick.
STD
A disease is any abnormal condition
of the body or mind with some type of symptom,
in other words your body tells you that you are unwell.
5
BACTERIA VIRUS
Living organism
May be stopped with appropriate antibiotic
Mild Severe
Not “alive;” lives on host
No known cures
Controlled by vaccine
Mild Severe
IMPACT ON WOMEN
Lack of symptoms; more difficult to diagnose until serious problems develop
150,000 (estimate) women become infertile each year due to PID (pelvic inflammatory disease)as a result of an STI
15-30% (estimate) of the 2.3 million US couples who are infertile may by result of an STI
7
RISK FACTORS
Most STIs more easily transmitted to women than to men
Co-factor: infected with an STI makes one more likely to contract another STI, including HIV, after unprotected sexual contact with an infected partner
Multiple sex partners increase risk of exposure over one’s lifetime

HERPES GENITALIS
Caused by: Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV);
Type 1: 50-80% exposure rate; prefers facial area;
Type 2: 20% exposure rate; prefers genital areas;
Once in body, migrates to a nerve cluster (ganglia) and goes dormant; evades detection from body’s immune system; probably not contagious at this time.
May stay dormant forever or may migrate back to its first entry point on skin (active phase); it infects healthy cells, making new viruses. The immune system attacks and destroys infected cells; this “battle” is a herpes “outbreak.”

Sexually Transmitted Diseases
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections spread through sexual contact. Approximately 65 million Americans have an incurable STD. STDs can be transmitted through various bodily fluids and skin-to-skin contact. Major STDs include viral infections like HIV and HPV, bacterial infections like chlamydia and gonorrhea, and parasitic infections. Bacterial STDs can be cured with antibiotics but viral STDs like herpes and HIV cannot be cured. Teenagers and young adults face high risks of STDs due to multiple partners and unprotected sex. Left untreated, STDs can lead to serious health issues.

1) Rabies kills approximately 55,000 people worldwide each year, most in Asia and Africa, with one death every ten minutes. Children are most at risk.
2) Rabies is a deadly virus typically transmitted through the bites of infected animals like dogs. Once symptoms appear, it is nearly always fatal.
3) In China, over 3,000 people died of rabies in 2007 due to uncontrolled rabies in dogs and low vaccination rates of less than 10% for dogs and almost 0% for cats.
