SEXUAL TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS: MALE AND FEMALE
INTRODUCTION
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are spread predominantly by unprotected
sexual contact. Some STIs can also be transmitted during pregnancy, childbirth and
breastfeeding and through infected blood or blood products.
STIs have a profound impact on health. If untreated, they can lead to serious
consequences including neurological and cardiovascular disease, infertility, ectopic
pregnancy, stillbirths, and increased risk of Human Immunodeficiency Virus
(HIV). They are also associated with stigma, domestic violence, and affects quality
of life.
The majority of STIs have no symptoms. When they are present common
symptoms of STIs are vaginal or urethral discharge, genital ulcer and lower
abdominal pain.
The most common and curable STIs are trichomonas, chlamydia, gonorrhoea and
syphilis. Rapidly increasing antimicrobial resistance is a growing threat for
untreatable gonorrhoea.
Viral STIs including HIV, genital herpes simplex virus (HSV), viral hepatitis B,
human papillomavirus (HPV) and human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1)
lack or have limited treatment options. Vaccines are available for hepatitis B to
prevent infection that can lead to liver cancer and for HPV to prevent cervical
cancer. HIV, HSV and HTLV-1 are lifelong infections: for HIV and HSV there are
treatments that can suppress the virus, but currently there are no cures for any of
these viral STIs.
Condoms used correctly and consistently are effective methods to protect against
STIs and HIV. Screening with early diagnosis of people with STIs and their sexual
partners offers the best opportunity for effective treatment and for preventing
complications and further transmission.
DEFINATION

INCIDENCE
Most STDs affect both men and women, but in many cases the health problems
they cause can be more severe for women. If a pregnant woman has an STD, it can
cause serious health problems for the baby.
STIs don't always cause symptoms or may only cause mild symptoms. So it is
possible to have an infection and not know it. But you can still pass it on to others.

ANTIBIOTIC
Antibiotics can treat STDs caused by bacteria or parasites. There is no cure for
STDs caused by viruses, but medicines can often help with the symptoms and
lower your risk of spreading the infection.
Correct usage of latex condoms greatly reduces, but does not completely eliminate,
the risk of catching or spreading STDs. The most reliable way to avoid infection is
to not have anal, vaginal, or oral sex.
