Concept Notes

• STI – Sexually Transmitted Infection

• AIDS- Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
• HIV- Human Immunodeficiency Virus
• Asymptomatic – having no symptoms or signs

➢ Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) is a communicable disease that is spread

from person to person through sexual contact.

Sexually transmitted infection is preventable. The first step is to remain sexually

abstinent until marriage is. Next is to obtain accurate information about these diseases and
recognize inaccurate information. Third is to enhance life skills, by knowing how to make
decisions and practice refusal skills.

➢ Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a fatal / deadly

communicable disease with no effective treatment or unknown cure. It is the
final stage of the infection caused by 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 disease that develop when the body’s
defense system becomes weak.

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.
