WHAT IS STI?
• also known as sexually-transmitted disease
(STD) is a communicable disease that is spread
by a pathogen (disease-causing organism) from
one person to another person through sexual
contact
WHAT IS STI?
• A person who has a sexual relationship with
someone who is infected can get one or more of
these diseases. STIs are transmitted through an
exchange of bodily fluids during sexual
intercourse. These infections are commonly caused
by bacteria and viruses.
WHAT IS STI?
• Symptoms of STIs depend on the type of infections.
Common symptoms include discharge from the genitals,
warts, blisters or sores in the genital area, a rash, painful
urination, or flu- like symptoms. Some STIs don‟t have
any signs or symptoms. In fact one of every 10 people can
have STIs but be asymptomatic. These people are carriers
and are very dangerous because they can transmit an
infection without even knowing it.

TRANSMITTED
DISEASES
1. ACQUIRED IMMUNE-
DEFICIENCY SYNDROME (AIDS)
Pathogens •Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)

Long-Term Effects •Immune systems failure, severe illness leading to death,8-10 years to see signs of infection, infection of infants leading to death

Prevention Measures •Abstinence from sexual intercourse and from use of intravenous drugs
1. ACQUIRED IMMUNE-
DEFICIENCY SYNDROME (AIDS)
• Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a fatal communicable
disease with no effective treatment or known cure. It is the final stage of
infection caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). When HIV
enters the body it attacks the body‟s immune system. Thus, the body becomes
vulnerable to opportunistic infections or diseases that develop when the body‟s
defense system becomes weak. Among these infections are Kaposi‟s sarcoma,
a rare but deadly type of skin cancer, recurrent pneumonia, and toxoplasmosis
within the brain.
1. ACQUIRED IMMUNE-
DEFICIENCY SYNDROME (AIDS)
• Early symptoms of infection with HIV may include a rash,
sore throat, fever, and tiredness. Nearly everyone with HIV
develops AIDS. People with AIDS cannot fight off diseases
that healthy people could easily resist. Because AIDS has no
cure, people with AIDS eventually die from one of these
diseases.
2. CHLAMYDIA
Pathogens •Chlamydia Trachomatis bacterium

Long-Term Effects
•In women, pelvic inflammation with abdominal pain, fever, menstrual bleeding, ectopic pregnancy
•In men, enlarged lymph glands of the groin, infection of the testicles. Infection during birth can cause blindness or illness in new born.

Prevention Measures •Abstinence from sexual intercourse.


3. GENITAL HERPES
Pathogens •Herpes Simplex-2 Virus

Long-Term Effects •If left untreated, it may cause cervical cancer in women and cause deformities in unborn babies

Prevention Measures •Abstinence from sexual intercourse and from use of intravenous drugs
4. GONORRHEA
Pathogens •Neisseria gonorrhoea bacterium

Long-Term Effects •Sterility, liver disease, testicular disease, infection of heart lining, eye infections for newborn leading to blindness

Prevention Measures •Abstinence from sexual intercourse and from use of intravenous drugs
5. SYPHILIS
Pathogens •Treponema Pallidum bacterium

Long-Term Effects •If left untreated, mental illness, heart and kidney damage, and death may result
