Viral Infections
•
•
Viral STIs are caused by viruses passed from person-to-person during sexual
activity.
Human Papilloma Virus (HPV):
– most common viral infection.
– Over 30 types of HPV that are sexually transmitted through oral, anal or vaginal sex.
•
Genital Herpes:
– Caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus
– Same family of viruses that cause cold sores around the mouth
– Transmitted by sexual activities or skin-to-skin contact.
•
Hepatitis B Virus:
– Affects the liver
– Hepatitis B is easily transmitted not only through sexual activities, but by sharing items like
razors, needles and toothbrushes.
•
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV):
– Attacks the body’s immune system, leaving infected individuals unable to fight off other
illness.
– Transmitted through sexual activities, but also spread by sharing items like razors, needles and
toothbrushes.
– It is not spread by hugging, shaking hands and other casual contact.

Bacterial Infections
• Bacterial STIs are caused by bacteria passed from person-to-person during
sexual activity.
• Chlamydia:
– One of the most common STIs especially among people ages 15 to 24.
– If left untreated it can cause infertility in both women and men.
• Gonorrhea (“the clap”):
– Infection that often is transmitted at the same time as Chlamydia and shares
the same symptoms.
– It is found most commonly in people aged 15 to 29. If left untreated it can
cause infertility in both women and men.
• Syphilis (“the great imitator”):
– Syphilis is called the great imitator because it shows signs that other diseases
show.
– Three stages
• Stage 1 starts with a small painless sore where the bacteria red the body
• Stage two, a person may develop a general feeling of being unwell or flat smooth warts in
the genital area
• Stage three, syphilis that has been left untreated can cause heart problems, mental
issues, and even death.
Parasitic Infections
• Caused by parasites passed from person-to-person during sexual
activity.
• A parasite is a creature that lives off another beings body.
• Trichomoniasis (Trich):
– Single-celled organism can infect the urethra, bladder, vagina, cervix or
get under the foreskin.
– Transmitted through sexual activity and by sharing sex toys.
• Pubic Lice (Crabs):
– Also called crabs
– Public Lice live in pubic hairs around the genitals. They lay eggs at the
base of the hair.
• Scabies (Mites):
– Scabies are tiny mites that dig little holes below the surface of the skin
where they lay eggs.
Fungal Infections
• While not technically STIs, this infection can be
passed through sexual contact in rare
circumstances.
• Yeast Infection (Candida):
– A vaginal yeast infection is a common fungal infection
caused by overgrowth of naturally occurring yeast.
– Yeast is normally found in a woman’s vagina in small
numbers, but sometimes they can multiply and
change the normal balance of bacterial growth. When
the fungi begin to grow in excess, they may develop
into candidiasis.
