S. T. I.: Sexually Transmitted Infection • Does not Discriminate • Gender • Race • Age Economic background
STI’s: Curable • STDs such as Chlamydia,gonorrhea,syphilis and trichomoniasis can be cured with antibiotics. • The type of antibiotic you are given will vary for each disease. • If you suspect you have any of the symptoms of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or have had unprotected sex, talk with your health-care provider about getting tested for STDs. • If you are diagnosed with one STD, you should be tested for all other STDs, including HIV, because you can become infected with more than one STD at the same time. All of your sexual partners for the previous two months also should be tested. • Treatment varies depending on the type of STD you have.
STI’s: Life Sentence Incurable But Treatable STDs • human papilloma virus (HPV), • herpes simplex virus type 2 (genital herpes) • genital warts • Cannot be cured, but the symptoms can be treated or prevented with medicine. • Warts can be removed with topical medications that your doctor can prescribe for you.. • Even with treatment, however, any incurable infection may be passed to a sexual partner. • You are at risk when you have sex with anyone who has had an incurable STD — even if that person has undergone or is undergoing treatment.
STI’s: Death Sentence • In the past, HIV, was a chronic and incurable disease, was thought to be universally fatal. • Today, the virus can be suppressed. • Most patients who stick to their prescribed medical regimens will improve dramatically. • It is too soon to know how long the benefit from these new regimens will last, but it is likely that many patients will prolong their lives by decades.
Facts: • 25% of all Americans between 15 and 55 will have at least one sexually transmitted disease. • There are more than 20 STDs. • The cost of treatment, lost productive time, lost wages and lost lives now cost over $10 billion per year in the United States alone. • Almost two-thirds of all STDs occur in people younger than age 25. • The incidence of STDs is rising, mostly because sexually active people today are more likely to have multiple sex partners during their lives. The more partners you have, the more likely your chances of getting an STD.
Facts: • 25% of all Americans between 15 and 55 will have at least one sexually transmitted disease.sex partners during their lives. The more partners you have, the more likely your chances of getting an STD. • Most of the time, STDs cause no symptoms most of the time. This is especially true for women. However, even without symptoms a person with an STD can infect someone else through sexual contact. This is why periodic testing is recommended. • Women get ill from STDs more frequently than men. When women get sick from STDs they are generally more ill than men.
Facts: • Some STD's can spread throughout the reproductive system of a woman and cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) which can cause both infertility and ectopic pregnancy. An undetected ectopic pregnancy can kill a woman. • HPV has been linked to cervical cancer. • STDs may be passed from mom to baby. The baby can die or be permanently disabled (i.e.. blind) or even die if untreated. • When diagnosed and treated early, many STDs can be cured. • Having an STD, other than HIV, increases the risk of becoming infected with HIV (AIDS virus). • Properly treating an STD includes treating the partner. This avoids passing the infection back and forth between the same partners (ping-pong effect). • Successfully treating a treatable STD involves three steps: involves 3 steps: treatment, counseling (no sexual contact until follow-up), and follow-up. Follow-up is extremely important because a person may have a resistant strain of the infection and could still have it even though they have no symptoms. A person may remain infected even if they have no symptoms. • Not all STDs can be treated.
