Sexuality Transmitted Infections

Sexuality Transmitted Infections, also known as STI, is an infection transferred from one person to another through sexual contact. Some people are familiar with the term STD, which stands for Sexual Transmitted Disease. In order for you to get infected, you have to have sexual contact with someone that is infected, whether it’s from oral, vaginal, anal or genital touching. In the United States about 19 million new infections are thought to occur each year. Almost half of these new infections are among young individuals whose age is around 15-24. Some examples of STIs or STDs include chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and trichomoniasis. This topic stood out the most to me because of the guess speaker we had in health class a few week ago. During class we discuss different types of STDs a person could come in contact with. STI or STD falls under Sexual Health and Reproduction. An STI can fall under this category because you can get an infection or disease through sexual intercourse. Chlamydia is one of the most common types of STDs. This type of infection can infect both men and women. If left untreated for a long period of time, it can cause permanent damage for a women’s reproductive system, making it difficult for women to have children. Chlamydia can also cause women to have a fatal ectopic pregnancy, which is when pregnancy occurs outside the womb. If a women has chlamydia while she is pregnant, she can pass it on to her child, which can be dangerous for the baby. This can cause an eye infection or pneumonia for the child. Some symptoms for women are abnormal vaginal discharge and burning while urination. Symptoms for men is a discharge from penis, burning sensation, and feeling pain in one or both testicles. Gonorrhea can cause infections in the genitals, rectum and throat in individuals. Your can get this infections through anal, oral, and vaginal sex. Men with gonorrhea experience a burning sensation while urinating, a white, yellow, or green discharge from penis, and swollen testicles. Some women may not experience any symptoms. Women that are infected with gonorrhea mistake their symptoms for a bladder or vaginal infection. They may also experience a burning sensation or vaginal bleeding between their periods. Both men and women may experience discharge, anal inching, soreness, bleeding and painful bowel movements. Syphilis is a disease that is caused by bacteria. This disease can infect the mouth, lips, penis, urethra, anus and vagina. About 36,000 Americans become infected with syphilis each year. There is three stages with having syphilis, which are primary, secondary, and late. Primary stage is when you notice a painless sore in your chancre. Chancers usually appear about 3 weeks after infection. Chancers can appear in the vagina, on the cervix, lips, mouth, breast, or anus. During secondary stage, symptoms may come and go for up to two years. You may notice rashes on the palm of your hand and the soles of your feet. You may also get a mild fever, swollen glands, headache, or even muscle pains. During the late stage, people are not treated for syphilis. This can
