11. Chlamydia • Caused by the bacterium, Chlamydia trachomatis • Can damage a woman's reproductive organs. • Even though symptoms of chlamydia are usually mild or absent, serious complications that cause irreversible damage, including infertility, can occur "silently" before a woman ever recognizes a problem. • Chlamydia also can cause discharge from the penis of an infected man.

12. Trichomoniasis • The infection often has no symptoms although women are more likely than men to get symptoms. Y • You may notice an unusual genital discharge. • Without treatment, trichomoniasis can increase a person’s risk of acquiring HIV. • Pregnant women with trichomoniasis can deliver premature, low birth weight babies.

13. Genital Herpes • Caused by the herpes simplex viruses type 1 (HSV-1) or type 2 (HSV-2). • Most genital herpes is caused by HSV-2. • Most individuals have no or only minimal signs or symptoms from HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection. • When signs do occur, they typically appear as one or more blisters on or around the genitals or rectum. • The blisters break, leaving tender ulcers (sores) that may take two to four weeks to heal the first time they occur.

14. HPV (Human Papillomavirus) • Some HPV causes cervical cancer (which can be fatal). • The HPV vaccine prevents most cases of genital warts and cervical cancer. • The vaccine doesn’t protect against all types of HPV.

16. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) • Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common virus that can infect almost anyone. • Most people don't know they have CMV because it rarely causes symptoms.

17. Gonorrhea • Caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a bacterium that can grow and multiply easily in the warm, moist areas of the reproductive tract • Cervix (opening to the womb), uterus (womb), and fallopian tubes (egg canals) in women, and in the urethra (urine canal) in women and men. • The bacterium can also grow in the mouth, throat, eyes, and anus.

21. Where did HIV come from? • Scientists identified a type of chimpanzee in West Africa as the source of HIV infection in humans. • They believe that the chimpanzee version of the immunodeficiency virus (called simian immunodeficiency virus or SIV) • Most likely was transmitted to humans and mutated into HIV when humans hunted these chimpanzees for meat and came into contact with their infected blood. • Over decades, the virus slowly spread across Africa and later into other parts of the world.
