Of the top ten most frequently reported diseases in the U.S. in 1995, half accounting for 87% of all cases - were sexually transmitted (CDC) The U.S. has the highest rates of curable STDs in the developed world WHAT HAS HAMPERED EFFORTS TO PREVENT STDs IN THE PAST? “…Nice people don’t talk about syphilis, nice people don’t have syphilis, and nice people shouldn’t do anything about those who do have syphilis.” Dr. Thomas Parran, “Why Can’t We Stamp Out Syphilis?” Reader’s Digest / July 1936:65 BACTERIAL STDs CURABLE? Syphilis - 70,000 new cases annually Gonorrhea - 650,000 each year Chlamydia - 3 million (most common) American Social Health Association VIRAL STDS VIRAL STDs Result in lifelong incurable infection Some American adults think that all STDs are curable INCURABLE? HIV / AIDS Herpes Genital warts (HPV) Hepatitis B /C (vaccine?) STD INFECTIONS INCREASE SUSCEPTIBILITY TO HIV People with active STD are: 3-5 times more likely to contract HIV 3-5 times more likely to infect others with HIV TRANSMISSION OF STDs OCCURS THROUGH FOUR BASIC ROUTES 1. SEMEN/VAGINAL FLUID TRANSMITS: HIV Gonorrhea Chlamydia Hepatitis B VIA: Intimate sexual activities in which fluids are passed from an infected person to another person CAN BE PREVENTED BY: Avoiding activities that increase contact with body fluids Using a latex barrier 2. BLOOD TRANSMITS: HIV Hepatitis B/C VIA: Needles and drug paraphernalia Sexual activities Blood products CAN BE PREVENTED BY: Not sharing needles - any! Cleaning needles? Not having sex when blood is present Latex barriers 3. SKIN TO SKIN CONTACT TRANSMITS: Syphilis Herpes Genital warts (HPV) VIA: Direct contact with infected parts of body during periods of contagion THESE INCLUDE TOUCHING OF: Prodomal or active herpes lesions (visible or not) Primary syphilis lesions HPV infected site (visible or not) CAN BE PREVENTED BY: Avoiding activities that involve skin to skin contact Latex barriers 4. NEONATAL TRANSMISSION HIV Hepatitis B/C Syphilis Chlamydia Gonorrhea HPV Herpes VIA: Infection in utero (HIV, syphilis, HPV, herpes) During birth process (all listed) Through breastfeeding (HIV) CAN BE PREVENTED BY: Screening and treatment of STDs Risk reduction during pregnancy C-Section? Not breastfeeding? STD WARNING SIGNS Excess discharge or unusual smell from the vagina Irritation, discomfort, itching, swelling, soreness,or pain in or around the vagina or rectum Genital sores, blisters, rashes, bumps, or growths (even if they don’t hurt) WARNING SIGNS, contd. Painful urination Swollen glands in the groin Abdominal pain Bleeding INFECTION FROM ORAL SEX: Swelling, soreness, redness in throat Fevers, chills, aches Sores, white patches in mouth REMEMBER! It is possible to have an STD and have no signs at all – ESPECIALLY FOR WOMEN Q: Which of these people has an STD? A: Who knows! THE THREE R’S OF STD RISK STDs can cause serious risks – even death There is more chance of getting herpes, chlamydia, etc., than HIV STDs increase the risk for HIV RECOGNITION Symptoms can appear 3 days to 3 weeks after sex Sore(s) around the genital area Rash Discharge RESPONSE See a health care provider No sex until adequately treated Talk to partners(s) and treat also Take medication as directed HEALTH CONSEQUENCES Millions of men, women and children affected by long term complications Various cancers Ectopic pregnancy Spontaneous abortion Other chronic diseases INFERTILITY At least 15% of all infertile American women are infertile because of damage resulting from an STD PELVIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASE If not adequately treated: 20-40% of women infected with chlamydia 10-40% infected with gonorrhea Will develop PID CHLAMYDIA Treatment of the consequences of chlamydia is estimated to be 12 times greater than the cost of screening and treatment EACH YEAR IN THE U.S. More than 1 million women with acute PID Highest rate among teenagers More than 100,000 women become infertile In 1997 estimated $7 billion spent on PID and its complications NIAID/ NIH DISEASE PREVENTION & REDUCTION RISKIEST BEHAVIORS Unprotected anal sex (not just MSM) Unprotected vaginal sex Injection drug use Multiple partners TESTING DOES NOT EQUAL PREVENTION IT’S NOT WHO YOU ARE…. IT’S WHAT YOU DO! POINTS TO CONSIDER: The U.S has high rates of STD Bacterial STDs can be cured – but symptoms? STDs are transmitted through four routes Importance of prevention/risk reduction/early detection It’s not who you are…….
