Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) can be spread (transmitted) by intercourse, kissing, oral-genital contact, and sharing sexual devices. Aside from abstinence, the use of latex barriers, such as condoms, during intercourse and oral-genital contact (although not 100% effective) is the best means of preventing the spread of STDs. Genital or oral ulcers are most often caused by herpes simplex, chancroid, syphilis, and lymphogranuloma venereum. Syphilis infection can either produce no symptoms or can cause oral or genital ulcers, rash, fever, or a variety of neurological illnesses ranging from forgetfulness to strokes. Chlamydia and gonorrhea can be transmitted alone or together and cause inflammation of the urethra (urethritis), which the patient experiences as burning on urination and a penile discharge (dripping). The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), is spread by infected blood or sexual secretions and is often associated with one or more of the other STDs. Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes genital warts and is associated with the development of anogenital carcinomas such as cervical carcinoma in women and anal or penile cancers in men. Hepatitis B is transmitted primarily through sexual contact while hepatitis C is transmitted more commonly by contact with infected blood. Human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8) is a recently identified virus that may be transmitted sexually and has been associated with Kaposi’s …

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease in which 36000 cases were reported in 2006. It is often called “the great imitator” because the symptoms of often difficult to differentiate from other diseases. There are three stages; the primary, secondary and late and latent stages. Symptoms that include sores rash, headaches, weight loss, fatigue, and sore throat, to name a few, often occur in the primary and secondary stages. During the late and latent stages the symptoms seen in the primary and secondary stages will disappear and an infected person will began to have damage to internal organs potentially resulting in paralysis, gradual blindness and dementia. Although it is most often transmitted through sexual contact, it can be passed an unborn baby through the mother possibly resulting in infant death. The presence of soles on sexual organs also increases the chances of transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. Although syphilis has the potential of infecting any age group, our target audience for this PSA will be men and women under 30. The most effective way to prevent transmission during sexual contact is through the use of condoms (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).

thefilmarchive.org DVD: www.amazon.com Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the spirochete bacterium Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum. The primary route of transmission is through sexual contact; however, it may also be transmitted from mother to fetus during pregnancy or at birth, resulting in congenital syphilis. Other human diseases caused by related Treponema pallidum include yaws (subspecies pertenue), pinta (subspecies carateum) and bejel (subspecies endemicum). The signs and symptoms of syphilis vary depending in which of the four stages it presents (primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary). The primary stage classically presents with a single chancre (a firm, painless, non-itchy skin ulceration), secondary syphilis with a diffuse rash which frequently involves the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, latent syphilis with little to no symptoms, and tertiary syphilis with gummas, neurological, or cardiac symptoms. It has, however, been known as “the great imitator” due to its frequent atypical presentations. Diagnosis is usually via blood tests; however, the bacteria can also be visualized under a microscope. Syphilis can be effectively treated with antibiotics, specifically intramuscular penicillin G, and in those who are allergic, ceftriaxone is recommended. Syphilis is believed to have infected 12 million people worldwide in 1999, with greater than 90% of cases in the developing world. After decreasing dramatically since the …

Australia is in the grip of a gonorrhoea and chlamydia epidemic following a surge in cases in the past year. Newly diagnosed cases of chlamydia leapt 17 per cent to 74305 in 2010, while those for gonorrhoea rose 25 per cent to just exceed 10000. The figures featured in the latest surveillance report on HIV, viral hepatitis and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) released on Tuesday by the University of NSW’s Kirby Institute. The institute’s Associate Professor David Wilson said the rise in gonorrhoea and chlamydia cases was partly due to more people being tested in response to public education campaigns. “However, what we are seeing right now is the rate of diagnosis is surpassing the rate of testing, so that indicates there’s an increase in overall infection levels,” he said. “So there’s an epidemic. “Almost 75000 people were diagnosed with chlamydia last year. “That’s phenomenal. That’s more than any other country.” Chlamydia and gonorrhoea can affect women and men who have sex with an infected partner. Both STIs are treatable with antibiotics, but they can be hard to diagnose because infected people often show no symptoms. If left untreated in women, the infections can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which is the main cause of infertility. Assoc Prof Wilson attributed the rise in the number of chlamydia and gonorrhoea cases to men failing to practice safe sex by using condoms. Young heterosexual people were the most likely to be infected with chlamydia …
