WHAT IS HIV AND AIDS? HIV attacks lymphocytes (white blood cells) called T-cells. The virus penetrates T-cells and forces them to make copies of HIV which causes the T-cell to die. Less T-cells result in a weakened immune system and risk for opportunistic diseases. HIV infection and certain opportunistic diseases or HIV infection and a low T-cell count (200 or less) will result in an AIDS diagnosis. © 2008 McGraw-Hill Higher Education. All rights reserved. HIV/AIDS HIV = Human Immunodeficiency Virus = Retrovirus that attacks and destroys the immune system AIDS = Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome Opportunistic Infections = common bacteria, fungus, viruses,etc. that usually do not have the opportunity to infect people with healthy immune systems HIV SYMPTOMS IF PRESENT Sore throat Mouth Sores Muscle stiffness and aches Headaches Diarrhea Swollen Lymph Nodes Fever Fatigue Rash Frequent vaginal yeast infections TRANSMISSION OF HIV Blood Semen Vaginal Secretions Breast milk TREATMENT No cure Anti-viral therapy suppresses replication of the HIV virus in the body HAART = Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy (AIDs Cocktail) PEOPLE AT HIGHEST RISK FOR HIV INFECTION Those who engage in unprotected sex Those with sexual partners who participate in high risk activities (anal sex) Those who share needles with infected intravenous drug use Infants born to mothers infected with HIV Those who received blood transfusions between 1977-1985 HIV: WHAT IS SAFE? Safe Casual contact. Hugging. Eating after. Massage. Masturbation. Insects. Unsafe Vaginal sex. Anal sex. Oral sex. Deep kissing. Multiple partners. Sharing needles. © 2008 McGraw-Hill Higher Education. All rights reserved. SHOULD I BE TESTED? You should be tested if: You have had any STD. Shared drug needles. Had sex with a prostitute. Had sex with a man who had sex with another man. Had unprotected sex with three or more partners. Remember that the test looks for HIV antibodies. It could take 3 to 6 months before antibodies appear in the blood. A person should have 6 months with no risk behavior before a test can be accurate.

All rights reserved. TRICHOMONASIS CHLAMYDIA: BACTERIA CHLAMYDIA TRACHOMATIS Transmission Incubation Culture tests of discharge collected from around the cervix and in the urethra. Reliable and affordable. Treatment Up to 80% of women and 50% of men have no symptoms. When symptoms do occur, they are often mild. Symptoms include discharge, itching and burning, painful urination, and flu-like symptoms. Diagnosis Poorly defined, probably 7-14 days or longer. Typical Symptoms Passed during direct sexual contact and hand to eye. Curable with certain antibiotics (not penicillin). Danger If untreated, can cause Pelvic Inflammatory Disease. © 2008 McGraw-Hill Higher Education. All rights reserved. GONORRHEA: BACTERIA Transmission Direct contact between mucous membranes, i.e., genitals, anus, and mouth. Contaminated fingers can pass organism to the eye. People can not get gonorrhea from objects. Incubation Usually 2-14 days. Typical Symptoms Genitals, anus, throat, and eyes can be infected. Symptoms include discharge, burning and itching, painful urination, or a mild sore throat. Up to 80% of women and 20% of men have no symptoms. Diagnosis Microscopic observation of discharge. Culture from site. Treatment Curable with antibiotics. Some strains may become resistant. Danger Can cause PID and sterility in men and women. © 2008 McGraw-Hill Higher Education. All rights reserved. CHLAMYDIA GONORRHEA GONORRHEA SYPHILIS: BACTERIA TREPONEMA PALLIDUM Transmission Direct contact with infectious sore or lesionous rashes. Incubation 1 to 12 weeks before primary stage. Typical Symptoms Primary: painless chancre sore at site of entry of germ and lasts 1–5 weeks. If not treated, leads to secondary syphilis. Secondary: 2 weeks to 6 months after chancre. Rash, flu-like symptoms, patchy hair loss. Secondary will go away without treatment, but will lead to latent syphilis. Latent: no longer infectious to carry bacteria and lead to tertiary. Tertiary Stage: 3 to 40 years later, damage to body organs such as the brain and heart, paralysis and death. Diagnosis Physical examination, microscopic test from sore, blood tests. Treatment Cured with antibiotics. © 2008 McGraw-Hill Higher Education. All rights reserved. SYPHILIS PRIMARY STAGE SECONDARY STAGE GENITAL WARTS: HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUS (HPV) Transmission Direct contact with warts in genital area. May be transmitted without visible warts. Incubation Range from 1-8 months. Typical Symptoms Flat or round bumps with cauliflowerlike appearance occurring on moist areas of genitals and anus. Many have no symptoms. Diagnosis Visual examination, tissue cultures. Pap smears can detect warts not visible. Common cause of cervical cancer. Treatment Freezing, laser, chemical prep, and surgery. May not “cure” the infection. Danger HPV causes cervical cancer. Pap smears are important. © 2008 McGraw-Hill Higher Education. All rights reserved. HUMAN PAPILOMA VIRUS (HPV) GENITAL WARTS Cervical Cancer Prevention The vaccine now in use requires a series of 3 shots over a one-year period. It has been approved by the FDA and should be covered by most insurance. The American Cancer Society recommends the vaccine for girls when they are 11 or 12, before they begin having sex. It is also recommended as a “catch up” for women aged 13 to 18, and that women age 19 to 26 talk to their doctor about whether the vaccine is right for them. It is important to realize that the vaccine doesn’t protect against all cancercausing types of HPV, so Pap tests are still needed. The second way to prevent cancer of the cervix is to have a Pap test. The Pap test can detect HPV infection and pre-cancers. Treatment of these problems can stop cervical cancer before it develops fully into an invasive cancer. GENITAL HERPES: HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS (HSV) Transmission Direct contact with infectious blisters or sores usually on genitals, anus, or mouth. May also be passed through asymptomatic viral shedding. Incubation 2-12 days Typical Symptoms Painful blisters or sores form, break, crust over, and heal in 2 to 4 weeks. Sores may reappear throughout life, but heal faster, are less painful and occur less frequently. Factors like stress, fatigue, and other illness may bring on reoccurrences. Diagnosis Visual examination and tissue culture. Treatment No cure at present time. Medications (acyclovir) used to relieve pain, shorten outbreak, or prevent infection in open sore. Danger Can be fatal to infants who acquire the disease. © 2008 McGraw-Hill Higher Education. All rights reserved. HERPES SIMPLEX (HSV-2) HEPATITIS B: VIRUS Transmission Incubation Through a blood test. Treatment Most have none or mild flu-like feelings, itching, and joint pain. Eventually leads to liver enlargements and failure. Diagnosis 1 – 9 months but people can carry the virus with no active infection (and spread to others) Typical Symptoms Vaginal, anal and oral sex, sharing needles, and mother to baby. A vaccine is available. Dangers Progressive destruction of liver cells, cirrhosis, or liver cancer. © 2008 McGraw-Hill Higher Education. All rights reserved.
