Section 22.2 Kinds of STIs Kinds of STIs Objectives Identify three of the most common STIs, including their symptoms and treatments. List four other STIs and describe their symptoms. Know when a person should seek treatment for an STI. Slide 1 of 19 Section 22.2 Kinds of STIs Myth All STIs can be treated with antibiotics. Fact STIs caused by viruses cannot be treated with antibiotics. Antibiotics are only used to treat STIs caused by bacteria. Several STIs caused by viruses cannot be cured and can cause lifelong health problems. Do you think most teens are aware that some STIs are not easily treated? And that some may persist for years? Explain your answer. Slide 2 of 19 Section 22.2 Kinds of STIs The Most Common STIs • STIs are caused by pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and protozoans. • STIs can be spread from person to person through blood and body fluids such as semen, vaginal secretions, and breast milk. • Three of the most common STIs in the United States are trichomoniasis, human papilloma virus, and chlamydia. Slide 3 of 19 Section 22.2 Kinds of STIs Trichomoniasis • The STI known as trichomoniasis (trik uh moh NY uh sis) is caused by a protozoan that infects the urinary tract or vagina. • In males, if trichomoniasis is not treated, it can lead to inflammation of the lining of the urethra, called urethritis (yoor uh THRY tis). • In females, untreated trichomoniasis can lead to vaginitis (vaj uh NY tis), which is a vaginal infection or irritation. Slide 4 of 19 Section 22.2 Kinds of STIs Human Papilloma Virus • The most common viral STI in the United States is caused by the human papilloma virus (pap uh LOH muh), or HPV. • Some forms of HPV cause genital warts. • One of the most serious conditions associated with HPV infection is cervical cancer in women. Slide 5 of 19 Section 22.2 Kinds of STIs Chlamydia • The most common STI caused by bacteria in the United States is chlamydia (kluh MID ee uh). • Infected males often experience painful, frequent urination and discharge from the penis. • In females, chlamydia often has no symptoms other than a yellowish vaginal discharge. • If untreated, chlamydia can cause a serious infection of the reproductive organs called pelvic inflammatory disease, or PID.

Slide 7 of 19 Section 22.2 Kinds of STIs Slide 8 of 19 Section 22.2 Kinds of STIs Slide 9 of 19 Section 22.2 Kinds of STIs Slide 10 of 19 Section 22.2 Kinds of STIs Other STIs Hepatitis • Hepatitis B and C, also called HBV and HCV, are sexually transmitted infections that attack the liver. • They are also spread by blood-to-blood contact. • Common symptoms are fatigue, abdominal pain, nausea, and jaundice. • Both infections may lead to liver cancer or cirrhosis (sih ROH sis), a condition in which normal liver tissue is replaced by scar tissue. • There is no cure for HBV or HCV. Slide 11 of 19 Section 22.2 Kinds of STIs Other STIs Gonorrhea • A bacterial STI that infects the urinary tract of males and females and the reproductive organs of females is gonorrhea (gahn uh REE uh). • Males usually have a thick, puslike discharge from the penis and painful urination. • Females sometimes experience painful urination and a puslike discharge from the vagina or urinary tract. Slide 12 of 19 Section 22.2 Kinds of STIs Other STIs Genital Herpes • Another STI caused by a virus is genital herpes (HUR peez). • The virus that causes genital herpes is the herpes simplex virus. • In some people, the symptoms may be hardly noticeable. • In other people, symptoms may be more severe, including painful blisters that appear on or around the genitals. • There is no cure for genital herpes. Slide 13 of 19 Section 22.2 Kinds of STIs Other STIs Syphilis Syphilis (SIF uh lis) is a serious bacterial STI that progresses through three distinct stages. • In the first stage, a painless sore called a chancre (SHANG kur) appears at the site of exposure. • In the second stage, sores appear in the mouth and flulike symptoms develop. • In the third stage, bacteria attack internal parts of the body. • Eventually, untreated syphilis can cause brain damage, paralysis, and heart disease. Slide 14 of 19 Section 22.2 Kinds of STIs Slide 15 of 19 Section 22.2 Kinds of STIs Seeking Treatment • People who participate in high-risk behaviors should get medical checkups every six months. • Individuals who suspect they may be infected should seek prompt medical attention. • Depending on the symptoms, the doctor may need to do a physical exam or a blood test. • If a person finds out that he or she has an STI, it is also important to notify any sexual partners, so they can seek treatment as well.
