Sexual Transmitted Disease and Infections
Some STIs, such as syphilis, pass through the placenta and infect the infant
while still in the womb. Other STIs, such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B, and
genital herpes, can be passed from mother to baby through the birth canal. During
pregnancy, HIV can cross the placenta and infect the infant.
 Syphilis
 Gonorrhea
 Genital Herpes
 Chlamydia
 Bacterial Vaginosis
HEALTH TEACHING PLAN
ASSESSMENT OF THE FAMILY:
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a serious public health concern.

Experts anticipate that if nothing is done, the number of cases would skyrocket. 1
There has been relatively little research on both awareness and perceived risk of
STIs among women of reproductive age. Because of the rising incidence of HIV
infections and other STIs within this patient group, health guidelines should
incorporate behavioral treatments aimed at empowering women by increasing their
awareness and perception of the danger of STIs.
NURSING DIAGNOSIS:
Risk for Infection
Maternal or Fetal, related to inadequate primary and secondary defenses;
Inadequate acquired immunity; and inadequate prenatal care and screening.
GOAL:
 Client will remain free of infection, as evidenced by normal vital signs and
absence of signs and symptoms of infection.
 Client will maintain or restore defenses.
 Patient will verbalize understanding of individual causative/risk factors.
 Patient will review techniques and lifestyle changes to reduce risk of infection.

commonly known as
sexually transmitted
illnesses or STIs, are
extremely prevalent.
Every year, millions of
new infections occur in
the United States. STDs
are transmitted from
person to person
BSN 2
through sexual activity,
which includes vaginal,
oral, and anal
intercourse.
 Syphilis - a bacterial
illness that is frequently
transferred through
sexual contact The
illness begins with a
painless sore, usually on
the genitals, rectum, or
mouth. Syphilis spreads
from person to person
by contact with these
lesions on the skin or
mucous membranes.
 Gonorrhea - a sexually
transmitted bacterial
illness that affects both
males and females The
urethra, rectum, or
throat are the most

BSN 2
commonly affected areas
by gonorrhea. Gonorrhea
can also infect the cervix
in females. Gonorrhea is
most often transmitted
through vaginal, oral, or
anal intercourse.
 Genital Herpes - a
common sexually
transmitted infection
caused by the herpes
simplex virus (HSV).
Sexual contact is the
primary way that the
virus spreads. After the
initial infection, the virus
lies dormant in your
body and can reactivate
several times a year.
 Chlamydia - a prevalent
disease that can infect

BSN 2
both men and women It
has the potential to
permanently harm a
woman's reproductive
system. This may make it
difficult or impossible
for her to become
pregnant in the future.
Chlamydia can also
cause an ectopic
pregnancy, which can be
deadly (pregnancy that
occurs outside the
womb).
 Bacterial Vaginosis - A
bacterial infection of the
vaginal canal It's the
most prevalent cause of
abnormal vaginal
discharge in women of
reproductive age
(women who have not

BSN 2
gone through
menopause yet). In
certain women, bacterial
vaginosis can create a
"fishy" odor and vaginal
discomfort.
An STI can be transmitted to
others by skin, genitals,
mouth, rectum, or bodily
fluids contact. This involves
touch via vaginal, anal, or
oral sex. Even if you don't
have any symptoms, your
health might suffer.
 Unusual discharge from
the penis or vagina.
 Sores or warts on the
genital area.
BSN 2
 Painful or frequent
urination.
 Itching and redness in
the genital area.
 Blisters or sores in or
around the mouth.
 Abnormal vaginal odor.
 Anal itching, soreness, or
bleeding.
If you suspect you have a STI
or have been exposed to one,
it is critical that you get
treatment. Most health
departments, family
planning clinics, and STI
clinics provide confidential
STI testing and treatment. A

Using a condom correctly
every time you have sex can
help you avoid STDs.
