Types

• Viral
• Bacteria
• Protozoa

• Parasites
• Fungi

3
Types of Viral STIs

• HPV/Genital Warts
• Genital Herpes
• Advanced HIV disease/AIDS
• Hepatitis

4
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

5
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

6
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.

7
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.

8
Viral STIs

• 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

9
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.

10
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.

11
Gonorrhea

• Bacterial infection that attacks the urethra in
  men and the internal reproductive organs of the
  female.
• 1-14 days after infection-painful,burning
  urination.
• Both males and females will have a
  discharge-yellow green discharge from the penis
  females discharge from the vagina.
• If untreated it will cause permanent damage to
  reproductive organs - causing sterility.

12
Chlamydia

• The most common STI.
• Bacterial
• inflammation of the urethra is called NGU.
• It is the leading cause of non-voluntary
  sterility
• Symptoms appear 1-2wks. After exposure.
• Symptoms include painful urination in males
  females vaginal discharge, pelvic pain, bleeding,
  fever, nausea.

13
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.

14
Scabies/Crabs-Pubic Lice
15
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.
