    SEXUALALY
    TRANSMITTED
    DISEASE
    BY: YOHAN KLEIR B. PURUGGANAN
    ABOUT
    WHAT IS SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES (STDs) ?

    -Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections


    spread from person to person during sex (vaginal, oral, or
    anal) or close sexual contact. STDs are also called
    sexually transmitted infections, or STIs. The only way to
    completely not get STDs is to not have sex or close sexual
    contact.
    MORE about STDs
    Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) — or
    sexually transmitted infections (STIs) — are
    generally acquired by sexual contact. The
    bacteria, viruses or parasites that cause
    sexually transmitted diseases may pass
    from person to person in blood, semen, or
    vaginal and other bodily fluids.

    Sometimes these infections can be


    transmitted nonsexually, such as from
    mothers to their infants during pregnancy
    or childbirth, or through blood transfusions
    or shared needles.

    STIs don't always cause symptoms. It's


    possible to contract sexually transmitted
    infections from people who seem perfectly
    healthy and may not even know they have
    an infection.


    -Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
    HOW CAN are infections you can get by having
    sex with someone who has an
    YOU GET infection. These infections are usually
    IT? passed from person to person through
    vaginal intercourse. They can also be
    passed through anal sex, oral sex, or
    skin-to-skin contact.
    -You can get an STD by having vaginal,
    anal or oral sex with someone who has
    an STD. Anyone who is sexually active
    can get an STD. You don't even have to
    “go all the way” (have anal or vaginal
    sex) to get an STD. This is because
    some STDs, like herpes and HPV, are
    spread by skin-to-skin contact.

    SYMPTOMS
    Signs and symptoms that might indicate an STI
    include:
    ·

    Sores or bumps on the genitals or in the


    oral or rectal area
    · Painful or burning urination
    · Discharge from the vagina
    · Unusual or odorous vaginal discharge
    · Unusual vaginal bleeding
    · Pain during sex STDs or STIs can have a
    · Sore, swollen lymph nodes, particularly in range of signs and
    symptoms, including no
    the groin but sometimes more widespread
    symptoms. That's why they
    · Lower abdominal pain may go unnoticed until
    · Fever complications occur or a
    partner is diagnosed.
    · Rash over the trunk, hands or feet
    Causes
    STDs or STIs can be caused by:

    · Bacteria. Gonorrhea, syphilis and
    chlamydia are examples of STIs that are
    caused by bacteria.
    · Parasites. Trichomoniasis is an STI caused
    by a parasite.
    · Viruses. STIs causes by viruses include
    HPV, genital herpes and HIV.
    Other kinds of infections — hepatitis A, B and
    C viruses, shigella infection and giardia
    infection — can be spread through sexual
    activity, but it's possible to be infected without
    sexual contact.
    CAUSES
    of STDs
    RISK FACTORS
    Anyone who is sexually active risks some degree of exposure to an STD or STI. Factors that may
    increase that risk include:
    · Having unprotected sex. Vaginal or anal penetration by an infected partner who isn't
    wearing a latex condom significantly increases the risk of getting an STI. Improper or
    inconsistent use of condoms can also increase risk.
    Oral sex may be less risky, but infections can still be transmitted without a latex condom
    or a dental dam — a thin, square piece of rubber made with latex or silicone.
    · Having sexual contact with multiple partners. The more people you have sexual contact
    with, the greater your risk.
    · Having a history of STIs. Having one STI makes it much easier for another STI to take
    hold.
    · Being forced to engage in sexual activity. Dealing with rape or assault is difficult, but it's
    important to see a doctor as soon as possible to receive screening, treatment and
    emotional support.
    · Misuse of alcohol or use of recreational drugs. Substance misuse can inhibit your
    judgment, making you more willing to participate in risky behaviors.
    · Injecting drugs. Needle sharing spreads many serious infections, including HIV, hepatitis
    B and hepatitis C.
    · Being young. Half the new STIs occur in people between the ages of 15 and 24.
    HOW CAN STDS BE
    PREVENTED ?
    Use latex condoms every time you have sex. If you use a lubricant, make sure it's
    water-based. Use condoms for the entire sex act. Condoms are not 100% effective
    at preventing disease or pregnancy. However, they are extremely effective if used
    properly. Learn how to use condoms correctly.
    Avoid sharing towels or underclothing.
    Wash before and after intercourse.
    Get a vaccination for hepatitis B. This is a series of three shots.
    Get tested for HIV.
    If you have a problem with drug or alcohol abuse, get help. People who are drunk or
    on drugs often fail to have safe sex.
    Consider that not having sex is the only sure way to prevent STDs.

    It was once thought that using condoms with nonoxynol-9 helped to prevent
    STDs by killing the organisms that can cause disease. New research shows that doing so
    also irritates a woman's vagina and cervix and may increase the risk of an STD infection.
    Current recommendations are to avoid using condoms with nonoxynol-9.
    To prevent giving an STD to someone else:
    Stop having sex until you see a doctor and
    are treated.
    Follow your doctor's instructions for
    treatment.
    HOW CAN I Use condoms whenever you have sex,
    especially with new partners.
    STOP Don't resume having sex unless your
    SPREADNG AN doctor says it's OK.
    Return to your doctor to get rechecked.
    STD ? Be sure your sex partner or partners also
    are treated.
