SIGNS & SYMPTOMS

CHLAMYDIA – When symptoms of chlamydia appear, people often suffer from abnormal vaginal discharge and vaginal bleeding, discharge from the tip of the penis and pain when peeing or during sex.

GONORRHEA – Most common symptoms include discharge from the vagina or penis and painful or difficult urination. In both men and women, gonorrhea can also infect the mouth, throat, eyes, and rectum and can spread to the blood and joints, where it can become a life-threatening illness.

GENITAL HERPES – Caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). Symptoms of HSV-1 usually appear as fever blisters or cold sores on the lips, but it can also infect the genital region through oral-genital or genital-genital contact. Symptoms of HSV-2 are typically painful, watery skin blisters on or around the genitals or anus.

GENITAL WARTS – Genital warts consist of fibrous overgrowths covered by a thickened, outer layer. They can appear around a man’s scrotum, anus, and penis, or a woman’s vulva, cervix, vagina, or anus. In appearance, genital warts are often flesh-colored or gray swellings. If several cluster together, they may resemble a cauliflower. Some may be too small to be seen by the naked eye.

The symptoms of early HIV infection may include fever, chills, joint pain, muscle aches, sore throat, sweats (particularly at night), enlarged glands, a red rash, tiredness, weakness, unintentional weight loss and thrush.

SYPHILLIS – Syphilis is an infection by the T. pallidumbacteria that is transmitted by direct contact with a syphilitic sore on the skin, and in mucous membranes. Syphilis is categorized by three stages with varied symptoms associated with each stage.

  • PRIMARY SYMPTOMS are one or many painless, firm, and round syphilitic sores called chancres. These appear about 3 weeks after exposure.
  • SECONDARY SYMPTOMS a non-itchy rash that starts on the trunk and spreads to the entire body, including the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. It may be rough, red, or reddish-brown in color oral, anal, and genital wart-like sores, muscle aches, fever, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, patchy hair loss, headaches, weight loss, fatigue.
  • TERTIARY SYMPTOMS Tertiary syphilis can occur 10 to 30 years after onset of the infection, normally after a period of latency, where there are no symptoms. Symptoms include damage to the heart, blood vessels, liver, bones, and joints guMs, or soft tissue swellings that occur anywhere on the body.Organ damage means that tertiary syphilis can often be fatal.

HEPATITIS C – Hepatitis C is a viral infection that causes liver inflammation, sometimes leading to serious liver damage. Among these signs and symptoms are Bleeding easily, Bruising easily Fatigue, Poor appetite, Yellow discoloration of the skin and eyes (jaundice), Dark-colored urine, Itchy skin, Fluid buildup in your abdomen (ascites), Swelling in your legs, Weight loss, Confusion, drowsiness and slurred speech (hepatic encephalopathy, Spider-like blood vessels on your skin (spider angiomas).

ACTIVITIES CAUSE STD’S DISEASES

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), or sexually transmitted infections (STIs), are generally acquired by sexual contact. The organisms that cause sexually transmitted diseases may pass from person to person in blood, semen, or vaginal and other bodily fluids.

Sometimes these infections can be transmitted nonsexually, such as from mother to infant during pregnancy or childbirth, or through blood transfusions or shared needles.

It’s possible to contract sexually transmitted diseases from people who seem perfectly healthy, and who may not even be aware of the infection.

STDs don’t always cause symptoms, which is one of the reasons experts prefer the term “sexually transmitted infections” to “sexually transmitted diseases.”
