STD's Types of STI’s Prevention Methods Treatment Health Risks/Effects Types Viral Bacteria Protozoa Parasites Fungi Types of Viral STI’s HPV/Genital Warts Genital Herpes Advanced HIV disease/AIDS Hepatitis HPV/Human Papaloma Virus/Genital Warts Skin to Skin Symptoms occurs 1 -6 months after exposure Small, bumpy warts on and around genitals Itching & burning around sex organs Precursor to cervical cancer in women. No cure & No Vaccine Highly contagious Genital Herpes Symptoms begin 2 - 30 days after infection. Small painful blisters on sex organ, mouth and anus. Blisters can last 1 - 3 weeks. Blistering can reoccur Contagious while blisters are active! No cure - No Vaccine Flu-like feeling/fever Advanced HIV Disease Several months to several years up to 15. Tests can convey a false negative for up to 6 months. Attack t -cells, which allow the body to recognize other infections. People eventually die from it. No cure - No vaccine! ELISA blood test. Patients die of “opportunistic” diseases. Hepatitis Inflammation to the liver. Can be spread by intimate contact such as kissing, sharing toothbrush, razors, washcloths, or drug needles. Yellow skin, nausea, fever and abdominal. Can be contagious even after signs disappear. Exchange of body fluids Vaccine is available. Viral STI’s Once infected always infected A vaccine is available for Hepatitis B only, others are possible, but genetic mutation complicates this treatment. They attack host cells so they can replicate themselves, then attack more health cells. Cannot live on their own Immune system produces antibodies, but immune system cannot always prevent an outbreak. Cannot be treated with Antibiotics Types of Bacteria Syphilis Gonorrhea Chlamydia Produce toxins and enzymes that damage human cells. Most are controllable with antibiotics Neglected, can cause sterility, major organ deterioration, and death. Syphilis Less common, most deadly of the bacteria. Primary stage-symptom is a chancre; a painless sore on the infected part. Treatable/Contagious 2nd Stage: 2 wk. to 6 months-rash can last for up to 6 months. Without treatment it will go away. Treatable/Contagious Latent Stage-1 to forty years; attack major organs. Permanent damage occurs. Treatable/Contagious Late stage-health problems like heart damage,blindness, paralysis mental disorders and death. Untreatable, no longer contagious. Gonorrhea Bacterial infection that attacks the urethra in men and the internal reproductive organs of the female. 1-14 days after infectionpainful,burning urination. Both males and females will have a dischargeyellow green discharge from the penis; females discharge from the vagina. If untreated it will cause permanent damage to reproductive organs causing sterility. Chlamydia The most common STI. Bacterial inflammation of the urethra is called NGU. It is the leading cause of non-voluntary sterility Symptoms appear 12wks. After exposure. Symptoms include painful urination in males; females vaginal discharge, pelvic pain, bleeding, fever, & nausea. Yeast - Protozoa - Parasite Yeast - imbalance in the healthy bacteria of the vagina. Protozoa / Trichomonas: Single cell, animal like organism. Pubic Louse/Crabs and Scabies Tiny insect and mites that live as external parasites on the body. Scabies/Crabs-Pubic Lice Transmission/Effect/Symptoms/Treatment Skin to Skin contact; Shared linens; sexual intercourse with an infected person - oral, anal, and vaginal; exchange of body fluids Release enzymes and toxins that destroy human cells or feed off human blood Symptoms - itching, discharge, odor, painful urination, pelvic pain, fatigue, fever, and skin conditions. Treatment - special antibiotics from a doctor and/or over the counter medication. Prevention Strategies - education, abstinence, communication with partner, early detection, and complete medical care.
