    Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacteria that can infect the genital tract and spread locally if left untreated, potentially affecting joints and heart valves. Half of infected women have no symptoms while men typically experience burning during urination. Treatment involves antibiotics and preventing transmission through safe sex practices.

    Gonorrhea
    Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection that
    is caused by the bacteria

    Neisseria gonorrhoeae
    Spreading
     The infection is usually through vaginal, oral, or
    anal sex.

     A pregnant women can pass on the infection


    to her unborn infant (eye)
    Symptoms
     Half of women with gonorrhea (cervix) do not
    have symptoms

     Most infected men with symptoms have


    inflammation of the urethra associated with a
    burning sensation during urination
     if gonorrhea is left untreated, it may spread
    locally, causing inflammation

    throughout the body,


    affecting joints and heart
    valves.
     All people testing positive for gonorrhea

    should be tested for


    other sexually
    transmitted diseases
    such as chlamydia, syphilis, and human
    immunodeficiency virus
    Treatment and Prevention
     No having sex with infected person

     Vaccine

     Antibiotic
    Syphilis
    Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused
    by the bacteria

    Treponema pallidum
    Spreading
     Syphilis is most commonly spread through sexual
    activity

     It can be transmitted via blood products

     It may also be transmitted from mother to baby


    during pregnancy or at birth
     It is not generally possible to

    contract syphilis through

    toilet seats, daily activities, hot tubs, or


    sharing eating utensils or clothing
    Symptoms
    The signs and symptoms of syphilis vary depending
    in which of the four stages it presents

    (primary, secondary, latent, and


    tertiary)
    Primary
     Primary syphilis is typically acquired by direct
    sexual contact with the infectious

    lesions of another person

     a skin lesion (Penis), called a chancre


    Secondary
     occurs approximately four to ten weeks after the
    primary infection

     symptoms most commonly involve the skin,


    mocous membrane, and lymph node
     fever, sore throat, weight loss, hair loss, and
    headache
    Latent
    having serologic proof of infection
    without symptoms of disease
    Tertiary
     Tertiary syphilis may occur approximately 3 to
    15 years after the initial infection

     People with tertiary syphilis are not


    infectious
    Treatment and
    Prevention
     Not having sex with infected person

     Vaccine

     Antibiotics
    HIV-Aids
     Human immunodeficiency virus infection and
    acquired immune deficiency syndrome
    (HIV/AIDS) is a spectrum of conditions caused
    by

    infection with the HIV


    Spreading
     HIV is spread primarily by having sex
     Contaminated blood transfusions and hypodermic
    needles
     From mother to child during pregnancy, delivery, or
    breastfeeding.

     Some bodily fluids, such as saliva and tears do


    not transmit HIV
    Symptoms
    There are three main stages of HIV infection:

    acute infection, clinical


    latency and AIDS
    Acute Infection (4 weeks)
    Many individuals develop an influenza-like

    illness or can be no specific symptoms.


    Clinical Latency (over
    three to six months)
     While typically there are few or no symptoms at
    first

     Near the end, many people experience

    fever, weight loss,


    gastrointestinal problems and
    muscle pains
    Acquired
    immunodeficiency
    syndrome (AIDS)
     In the absence of specific treatment, around half

    of people infected with HIV develop AIDS within

    ten years
     Additionally, people with AIDS frequently have
    systemic symptoms such as

    prolonged fevers, sweats (particularly


    at night), swollen lymph nodes, chills,
    weakness, and unintended weight loss
    Treatment and Preventing
     No having sex

     No blood contact with infected person

     Vaccine

     Medicine
