Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
What is Human Papillomavirus (HPV)?
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a sexually transmitted virus that can cause warts on various parts of the body, including the genitals. Some types of HPV can lead to cancer, such as cervical cancer in women. It is often spread through skin-to-skin contact during sexual activity.
What is Herpes?
Herpes is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), leading to sores and blisters on the skin, usually around the mouth or genitals. There are two types: HSV-1 typically causes oral herpes, while HSV-2 usually results in genital herpes. It spreads through direct contact with the sores or sometimes even without visible symptoms.
What is Syphilis?
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. It starts with painless sores, typically on the genitals, rectum, or mouth, and can progress to rashes and more severe health problems if untreated. Syphilis spreads through direct contact with the sores during sexual activity.
What is Hepatitis?
Hepatitis is a sexually transmitted infection that causes inflammation of the liver, often due to viral infections. The most common types linked to sexual transmission are Hepatitis B and C, which can lead to symptoms like jaundice, fatigue, and liver damage. It spreads through contact with infected blood or bodily fluids.
What is Gonorrhea?
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It affects the genital tract, rectum, and throat, causing symptoms like painful urination and discharge, though some people may have no symptoms. It spreads through sexual contact and can be treated with antibiotics.
What is Chlamydia?
Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. It often has no symptoms, but can cause pain during urination and abnormal discharge. If left untreated, it can lead to serious health problems, but it is easily treatable with antibiotics.
What is HIV/AIDS?
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a sexually transmitted virus that attacks the immune system, making it hard for the body to fight infections. If untreated, it can progress to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome), the final stage where the immune system is severely damaged. HIV spreads through contact with infected blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk.
What is Trichomoniasis?
Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by a parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis. It can cause symptoms like itching, burning, and unusual discharge in the genital area, though many people do not show symptoms. It is easily treated with antibiotics.
