3. The Gloves Game

4. What does STI stand for? • STI is a sexually transmitted infection. There are many different types of STI. How are STIs transmitted? • STI’s are transmitted most commonly through vaginal sexual intercourse or anal sex. • Some can be transmitted through close sexual contact such as oral sex although this is less risky than vaginal or anal sex. • It is possible to get an STI the first time you have sexual intercourse or the first time you have close sexual contact. Who gets STIs? • Anyone who is sexually active can get an STI if they do not protect themselves carefully.

5. What STIs can you name? • gonorrhoea • trichomoniasis [trich] • syphilis • NSU [non specific urethritis] • hepatitis • chlamydia • genital warts • genital herpes • pubic lice • HIV

6. gonorrhoea • trichomoniasis [trich] • syphilis • NSU [non specific urethritis] • hepatitis • chlamydia Gonorrhoea: bacterial infection Discharge from the vagina or the penis Painful Urination Ectopic pregnancy and infertility for women most serious complications Treatable with antibiotics • genital warts • genital herpes • pubic lice • HIV

7. gonorrhoea • trichomoniasis [trich] • syphilis • NSU [non specific urethritis] • hepatitis • chlamydia • genital herpes • genital warts • Syphilis : bacterial infection • Mild symptoms, often goes undetected initially • Starts with painless genital ulcer that goes away on its own • Rash, fever, headache , achy jointsTreatable with antibiotics More serious complications associated with later stages of disease if undetected and untreated • HIV • pubic lice

8. gonorrhoea • trichomoniasis [trich] • syphilis • NSU [non specific urethritis] • hepatitis • chlamydia • Hepatitis – viral infection • Hepatitis B most often associated with sexual contact • Yellowish skin and eyes, fever, achy, tired, might feel like the flu Severe complications, including cirrhosis and liver cancer • No cure available, remission possible with some aggressive medications • Immunizations available to prevent hepitatis A and B • genital herpes • genital warts • HIV • pubic lice

9. gonorrhoea • trichomoniasis [trich] • syphilis • NSU [non specific urethritis] • hepatitis • chlamydia • genital herpes • genital warts • Herpes – viral infection • One type of herpes typically causes cold sores in the mouth, and another type causes genital sores; however, each type can cause either type of infection.  • Recurring outbreaks of blister-like sores on the genitals • Can be transmitted from a mother to her baby during birth • Reduction in frequency and severity of blister outbreaks with treatment but not complete elimination of infection. • HIV • pubic lice

10. gonorrhoea • trichomoniasis [trich] • syphilis • NSU [non specific urethritis] • hepatitis • chlamydia • genital herpes • genital warts • HIV – viral infection • Spread primarily by sexual contact and from sharing intra venous needles • Can be transmitted at the time a person becomes infected with other STDs • Fatigue, night sweats and chills or fever, headaches, cough • No current cure but treatment now makes this a CHRONIC rather than FATAL disease. People can now live with HIV. • HIV • pubic lice

11. gonorrhoea • trichomoniasis [trich] • syphilis • NSU [non specific urethritis] • hepatitis • chlamydia • trichomoniasis – viral infection • female symptoms [up to one-third of infected women have no symptoms] • vaginal discharge • vaginal itching • discharge [ yellow or grey-green] • possible pain with urination • male symptoms [the majority of infected men have no symptoms] • urethral discharge • pain and swelling in the scrotum and epididymis • possible pain with urination • genital herpes • genital warts • HIV • pubic lice

12. gonorrhoea • trichomoniasis [trich] • syphilis • NSU [non specific urethritis] • hepatitis • chlamydia • genital herpes • genital warts • HIV • pubic lice • Urethritis: Inflammation of the urethra. (The urethra is the transport tube leading from the bladder to discharge urine outside the body.) • Urethritis can be due to several causes, including sexually transmitted diseases such as Chlamydia, or irritation. • Treatment depends on the cause.

13. gonorrhoea • trichomoniasis [trich] • syphilis • NSU [non specific urethritis] • hepatitis • chlamydia • Chlamydia : bacterial infection • Most common of all STDs caused by bacteria • No symptoms in 80% of women and 50% of men • Discharge from the vagina or the penis, burning or pain during urination • Transmitted through vaginal, oral, or anal sexual contact • Ectopic pregnancy and infertility for women most serious complications  • Treatable with antibiotics • genital herpes • genital warts • HIV • pubic lice

14. gonorrhoea • trichomoniasis [trich] • syphilis • NSU [non specific urethritis] • hepatitis • chlamydia • genital herpes • genital warts • Genital Warts : viral infection • Genital warts are flesh-coloured or gray growths found in the genital area and anal region in both men and women. It is the most common sexually transmitted disease caused by a virus. The warts are caused by the human papilloma virus [HPV]. Infection with genital warts may not be obvious. • Genital warts affect both men and women and can occur at any age. • Most patients with genital warts are seen between the ages of 17-33 years. Genital warts are highly contagious. • You have a 60% risk of getting the infection in a single sexual contact with someone who has genital warts • HIV • pubic lice

15. gonorrhoea • trichomoniasis [trich] • syphilis • NSU [non specific urethritis] • hepatitis • chlamydia • genital herpes • genital warts • Pubic lice [crabs] : parasitic infection • A condition medically known as pediculosis pubis. • Barely the size of a pinhead, lice are organisms that live only with the help of another organism, called a host. • Crabs are transmitted through any intimate contact. You may acquire an infection by being close to an infected person or by sharing bedding or towels. • The main symptoms of infection are itching and burning of the pubic area. • Treatment involves the use of a cream which kills the crabs and is then washed off. • HIV • pubic lice
