    Clancy Hernandez
    Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections passed between partners through sexual contact. STDs have major health impacts, especially for women and infants. Some STDs like HIV and certain other infections can increase the risk of transmitting or developing other diseases. Long term effects of STDs include pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, pregnancy complications, and cervical cancer. Common viral STDs include HIV, HPV, and hepatitis, while bacterial STDs include chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. Many STDs have no symptoms but can still be passed between partners.

    SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED

    DISEASE
     Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are
    infections transmitted from an infected person
    to an uninfected person through sexual contact.

     STDs are a significant global health priority


    because of their overwhelming impact on
    women and infants and their inter-relationship
    with HIV and AIDS.
     Infection with certain STDs can increase the risk of
    getting and transmitting HIV as well as modify the
    way disease develop.

     Moreover, STDs can lead to long-term health


    problems, usually in woman and infants.

     Among the health complications are pelvic


    inflammatory disease, infertility, tubal or ectopic
    pregnancy, cervical cancer and prenatal or congenital
    infections in infants born to infected mothers.
     One of the leading STD worldwide is AIDS
    (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome)
    which is caused by HIV (Human
    Immunodeficiency Virus)

     The virus attacks the immune system making


    the individual more prone to infection and
    other diseases.
     Aside from HIV and AIDS there are other
    sexually transmitted diseases in humans.
    Chlamydia

     Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted


    disease.

     It is 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),
    rectum, or throat.
     You can get Chlamydia during oral, vaginal, or
    anal sex with someone who has the infection.

     A woman can also pass Chlamydia to her baby


    during childbirth.

     If you've had Chlamydia and were treated in


    the past, you can get re-infected if you have
    unprotected sex with someone who has it.
    Gonorrhea

     It is most common in young adults. The bacteria that


    cause gonorrhea can infect the genital tract, mouth, or
    anus.
     You can get gonorrhea during vaginal, oral, or anal sex
    with an infected partner. A pregnant woman can pass it
    to her baby during childbirth
     Gonorrhea does not always cause symptoms. In men,
    gonorrhea can cause pain when urinating and discharge
    from the penis. If untreated, it can cause problems with
    the prostate and testicles.
    Syphilis

     Syphilis is a bacterial infection usually spread


    by sexual contact. The disease starts as a
    painless sore — typically on your genitals,
    rectum or mouth. Syphilis spreads from person
    to person via skin or mucous membrane
    contact with these sores.
     After the initial infection, the syphilis bacteria
    can remain inactive (dormant) in your body for
    decades before becoming active again.
     Early syphilis can be cured, sometimes with a
    single shot (injection) of penicillin.
     Without treatment, syphilis can severely
    damage your heart, brain or other organs, and
    can be life-threatening. Syphilis can also be
    passed from mothers to unborn children.
    Human Papillomavirus
     The virus that causes HPV infection is transmitted
    through skin-to-skin contact. Most people get a
    genital HPV infection through direct sexual
    contact, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex.
     Because HPV is a skin-to-skin infection,
    intercourse isn’t required for transmission to
    occur.
     Many people have HPV and don’t even know it,
    which means you can still contract it even if your
    partner doesn’t have any symptoms. It’s also
    possible to have multiple types of HPV.
     In rare cases, a mother who has HPV can
    transmit the virus to her baby during delivery/
    When this happens, the child may develop a
    condition called recurrent respiratory
    papillomatosis where they develop HPV-
    related warts inside their throat or airways.
