Sexually Transmitted Disease
(STD)
Are infections from an infected
person to an uninfected person through
sexual contact, can be caused by
bacteria, viruses, or parasites.
•Sexually Transmitted Diseases
are significant global health
priority, it can lead to long-term
health problems, usually in
women and infant.
• The health complications that arise
from STDs are: pelvic inflammatory
diseases, infertility, tubal or ectopic
pregnancy, cervical cancer, and
perinatal.
• One of the leading STDs worldwide is
AIDS, which is caused by HIV.
• The virus attacks the immune system making individual more
prone to infections and other diseases
• The virus usually targets T-cells( CD4 cells) of the immune
system, which serve as the regulators of the immune system.
• The virus survives throughout the body but may be transmitted
via body fluids such as blood, semen, vaginal fluids, or breast
milk.
• Aside from HIV and AIDS there are sexually transmitted diseases
in humans. The following are based on STD Surveillance 2016:
•Other STDs of humans based
on the U.S Department of
Health and Human Services
Centers for Diseases Control
and Prevention (2016).
CHLAMYDIA
1.Chlamydia
It is a common STD caused by bacteria
called chlamydia trachomatis, it can infect both
men and women.
Women can get chlamydia in the cervix,
rectum, or throat.
Men can get chlamydia in the urethra
(inside the penis).
• Untreated chlamydia may also increase your
chances of getting or giving HIV/ AIDS.
• Among young women attending family
planning clinics participating in a sentinel
surveillance program who were tested for
chlamydia 9.2%of 15 to 19 yrs. old of 20 to 24
yrs. old were positive. Most cases among men
generally lower than rates among women.
• Women can also pass chlamydia to her
baby during childbirth, either eye infections,
pneumonia, and early born of the baby.
2. Gonorrhea
It is very common infection, especially
among young people ages 15-24 years old.
It can cause infections in the genitals,
rectum, and throat. Like chlamydia,
gonorrhea can give also the infection to the
baby if you are pregnant.
•Gonorrhea can be treated with
antibiotics. If left untreated, it can
cause Pelvic Inflammatory
Disease (PID) and infertility.
 3. Syphilis
It can cause serious health
problems if it is not treated.
•Syphilis is divided into stages;
Primary
Secondary
Latent
Tertiary
•Primary
You may notice a single sore or
multiple sores.
The sore is the location where
syphilis entered your body, usually firm,
round, and painless. The sore usually
lasts 3 to 6 weeks.
PRIMARY STAGE
• Secondary
You may have skin rashes and/or mucous
membrane lesions.
Mucous membrane lesions are sores in your
mouth, vagina, or anus. This stage usually starts
with a rash on one or more areas of your body. The
rash can look like rough, red, or reddish brown
spots on the palms of your hands or feet.
SECONDARY
STAGE
•Latent
Is a period of time when there are no
visible signs or symptoms of syphilis.
If you do not receive treatment, you
can continue to have syphilis in your
body for years without any signs or
symptoms.
LATENT STAGE
• Tertiary
It can affect many different organ
systems, it includes the heart, blood vessels,
the brain, and the nervous system.
It is very serious and would occur 10-30
years after your infection began, the disease
damages your internal organs and can result
in death.
TERTIARY
STAGE
4. Chancroid
Caused by infection with the
bacterium Haemophilus ducreyi.
Clinical manifestations include
genital ulcers and inguinal
lymphadenopathy or buboes.
• Reported cases are of chancroid declined
steadily between 1987 and 2001. Since then,
the number of reported cases has fluctuated
somewhat, while still appearing to decline
overall. In 2016, a total of 7 case of chancroid
were reported in the US.
5.Human Papillomavirus
It is common in the United States and there are
approximately 14 million newly diagnosed cases of
human papillomavirus (HPV) annually.
HPV may not cause symptoms at once, but they
can appear years later. Some types can lead to warts,
while others can cause cancer.
Common symptoms of some types of HPV are
warts, especially genital warts.
EXAMPLE OF HUMAN
PAPILLOMAVIRUS
6. Herpes Simplex Virus or (HSV)
It is an infection that causes herpes. Herpes can
appear in various parts of the body, most commonly on the
genitals or mouth. There are two types of the herpes
simplex virus.
HSV-1: primarily causes oral herpes, and is generally
responsible for cold sores and fever blisters around the
mouth and on the face.
HSV-2: primarily causes genital herpes, and is generally
responsible for genital herpes outbreaks.
7. Trichomonas Vaginalis
It is a common sexually transmitted
protozoal infection associated with adverse
health outcomes such as preterm birth and
symptomatic vaginitis.
It affects women more than men, and
older women tend to get it more than
younger ones.
