Answer: Risks associated with the development of breast cancer, in women

lead to breast cancer; having been treated with radiation therapy to the chest area or breasts;
being overweight, particularly after menopause; Using hormone replacement therapy for an
extended time; using oral contraceptives recently; drinking alcohol; being age 65 or older.

vaginosis is treated with an antibiotic and requires a prescription from a health care provider.
Yeast infection is so common that it is estimated that three of four women will have a yeast
infection in their lifetime. A naturally occurring fungus changes the normal environment in the
vagina. Yeast infections can also occur in the mouth, skinfolds, and fingernail beds. It is also
thought to be one of the causes of diaper rash in babies. Yeast infections are usually treated with
an anti-yeast cream or suppository placed in the vagina. Some products are available over the
counter, others by prescription only.

108. How can alcohol and drug use compromise sexual health?
Answer: Alcohol and drug use are problematic for sexual health in many ways. We know that
using injectable drugs is a high-risk behavior for the transmission of HIV, hepatitis, and other
viruses due to the high incidence of sharing needles. In addition, people who are intoxicated or in
an altered state of mind may be less discriminating about whom they choose to have sex with.
Alcohol and drugs are also known to lower inhibitions, and people may make a decision while
intoxicated that they would not make when sober. Finally, in addition to compromised judgment,
being intoxicated may make it more difficult to negotiate condom use or to use them correctly
with your partner.

109. Discuss how partners can negotiate the risks associated with sexual activity.
Answer: Sex partners must talk about STIs before having sex. If they wait until after having sex,
it may be more difficult and they may have already exposed the other person to an STI. Partners
should consider talking about STIs in a quiet face-to-face setting, perhaps while taking a walk or
on a quiet date together. The conversation should be in person, however, not by way of texting
and email, because of the depth of conversation and the details that need to be discussed.
Partners should also prepare themselves emotionally. One may be either defensive or
uncomfortable with the discussion, so both need to express their feelings toward each other
clearly, which is why the conversation is necessary. To minimize a partner’s defensiveness, the
supporting partner can offer her own risk factors first and refrain from interrogation tactics. The
couple should consider going together if they’re being tested for STIs. Getting tested together
may remove some of the pressure both are feeling at this time.
Finally, when sex partners start having sex and one notices a symptom of an STI, he or she must
tell the other partner immediately. This will be an upsetting time, but by gently pointing out the
symptom(s) and discussing their concerns about health and well-being, the partners are paving
the way to a healthy and enjoyable sexual relationship.

110. Explain the origin of the stigma of HIV/AIDS. Discuss the evolution of these views.
Answer: At the beginning of the AIDS crisis in the United States, most of the illnesses and
deaths were occurring among gay men—and so they were mistakenly referred to as the “gay
cancer.” This early trend is primarily responsible for the stigma HIV and AIDS still have today,
despite the fact that both occur in every community in the world. In December 1982, a 20-
month-old child who had received multiple transfusions of blood and blood products died from
infections related to AIDS. This case provided the first clear evidence that an infectious agent
caused AIDS. It also raised serious concerns about the safety of the world’s blood supply. In that
same month, the CDC reported the first cases of possible transmission of AIDS from mother to
child. Following this discovery, it was reported that increasing numbers of women were
contracting HIV through heterosexual sex. Today heterosexual sex is one of the most common
ways of transmitting HIV.

111. Describe the current treatment methods used for HIV/AIDS.

Answer: In the past decade, we have seen significant advances in the development of
antiretroviral therapy (ART) made up of a combination of medications that work together to
reduce the replication of the human immunodeficiency virus. The latest medications have
successfully reduced the levels of the virus in the bloodstream of HIV-infected persons to
undetectable levels, lengthening the time it takes for the virus to cause further symptoms and
develop into AIDS. Although these medications do not eliminate the possibility of viral
transmission to an uninfected partner, they do greatly reduce the risk of transmission.
With proper treatment, the life span of HIV-infected individuals is rapidly increasing and, in the
United States, is approaching 25 years from the time of infection. Survival following diagnosis
with AIDS is approaching 10 years.

112. What are the symptoms of chlamydia? Discuss its transmission and prevention.
Answer: The symptoms of Chlamydia include thick, cloudy discharge from the vagina or penis
occurring 1 to 3 weeks after exposure; less common: pelvic pain, irregular periods, increased
pain during menstrual periods, discomfort during urination, or irritation of the vaginal and/or
anal area; often asymptomatic.
Chlamydia is transmitted through Oral, vaginal, or anal sex. Extremely contagious bacterium;
may be transmitted during a single sexual encounter with an infected partner.
Condoms can help prevent the transmission of chlamydia infection.

113. How is scabies diagnosed? How is it treated?

Answer: Diagnosis of a scabies infestation is usually based on the customary appearance and
distribution of the rash and presence of burrows. Whenever possible, the diagnosis of scabies
should be confirmed by identifying the mite, mite eggs, or mite fecal matter. This process is done
by carefully removing a mite from the end of its burrow using the tip of a needle or by obtaining
a skin scraping in order to examine it underneath a microscope. Even though the mite may not be
found, it is still possible for a person to be infested; it is common for fewer than 10 to 15 mites to
be present on the entire body of an infested person who is otherwise quite healthy.
Scabies is quite treatable with a scabicide, a product that kills the scabies mites as well as the
eggs they produce. Scabicides are available only with a physician’s prescription. No over-the-
counter products have been tested and approved for humans as yet.

114. Describe the common symptoms of human papilloma virus.

Answer: Common symptoms of genital HPV strains are genital warts and precancerous genital
lesions. Genital warts are noncancerous and appear as a flat lesion, a small cauliflower-like
bump, or a stemlike protrusion. In women these warts most commonly appear on the vulva, but
they may be found near the anus, on the cervix, or in the vagina. In men, the warts may appear
on the penis and scrotum or around the anus. Genital warts are not known to cause pain or
discomfort.
Certain HPV infections can cause cellular changes that result in precancerous lesions in women.
A Pap test most often detects these abnormalities. Persistent infections (those that last more than
2 years) create a greater risk for cancer. Abnormal vaginal bleeding is a common symptom of
cervical cancer.

115. What are some of the ways in which a society can control the spread of STIs? How does
poverty affect sexual health of communities?
Answer: There are many ways for societies to improve conditions and control the spread of STIs.
They might, for example, launch community campaigns to alert people to HIV risk, distribute
condoms, and teach people how to talk with their intimate partners about sexual risk. More than
anything, such measures would equip people with the knowledge, skills, and motivation to fight
HIV in their own backyards.
Research shows that HIV infections are actually increasing in some populations globally and in
the United States. This is the result of poverty, poor health care, and lack of education about
HIV, as well as high-risk unprotected sexual behavior. Researchers have concluded that poverty
exerts a huge negative effect on sexual well-being and human rights. There appears to be a
strong correlation between poverty and being sexually exploited, being the victim of gender
violence, and being susceptible to sexually transmitted infection.
