Refers to the 12 million new STI cases/year in
1996; now estimated to be 15 million/year (increase due to higher numbers and better testing)

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

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

Viral
Viral:
Herpes
HPV
HIV
Hepatitis B

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.”

Herpes - symptoms
Incubation period: 1-12 days after sex with an infected person; may not appear for months or years
Duration: may last 12 days; flu-like symptoms; avera.
