According to the Centers for Disease Control there are over 15 million cases of sexually transmitted disease cases reported annually. Adolescents and young adults (15-24) are the age groups at the greatest risk for acquiring an STD, 3 million becoming infected each year. netseer_tag_id = "1092"; netseer_ad_width = "667"; netseer_ad_height = "90"; netseer_task = "ad"; Most STDs are treatable. However, even the once easily cured gonorrhea has become resistant to many of the older traditional antibiotics. Other STDs, such as herpes, AIDS, and genital warts, all of which are caused by viruses, have no cure. There are however natural cures for herpes and other STD's. Some of these infections are very uncomfortable, while others can be deadly. Syphilis, AIDS, genital warts, herpes, hepatitis, and even gonorrhea have all been known to cause death. Many STDs can lead to related conditions such as

Email Advertising Sex Toy Guides Advertisement Syphilis What is syphilis? Syphilis is caused by the bacteria T. pallidum, a spiral shaped organism that moves throughout the body by splitting in two about once every day. The disease begins with a chancre which normally forms on the genital area. If untreated, this chancre will heal but the disease will progress possibly causing many complications- and in some instances death. Syphilis can now be effectively treated with penicillin or other antibiotics (for those allergic to penicillin). The widespread use of antibiotics has reduced the prevalence of syphilis significantly. What are the symptoms of syphilis? Symptoms of syphilis undergo several stages of development. Throughout these stages, the symptoms felt by the patient vary. The Primary Stage This first stage of syphilis is characterized by a lesion (or chancre) which normally forms around the genital region. In about half of the cases reported the lesion has a raised, firm red border. The chancre is generally a dark pink color and does not bleed easily. It must be stressed that the appearance of this chancre can vary greatly. Furthermore, it is not necessarily a single lesion; multiple lesions may exist but are less common. If the lesion is untreated, it may heal on its own. However, without the attention of a physician the disease will progress.

More than 20 STDs including chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, genital warts, genital herpes, and viral hepatitis have now been identified as affecting men and women of all backgrounds and economic levels. Our Current Situation There are an estimated 15.3 million new cases of STDs in the United States each year, 3 million of which occur in people between the ages of 13 and 19. Nearly two thirds of all STDs occur in people younger than 25! The incidence of STDs is rising partly because people have become sexually active earlier, with more frequent sex partners. Many STDs cause no symptoms, and those that do may be confused with other diseases not transmitted through sexual contact. An infected person, whether he or she has symptoms or not, may transmit an STD to a sex partner. For this reason, periodic screening is recommended for individuals with multiple sex partners.

All Topics Syphilis URL of this page: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/syphilis.html Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by bacteria. It infects the genital area, lips, mouth, or anus of both men and women. You usually get syphilis from sexual contact with someone who has it. It can also pass from mother to baby during pregnancy. The early stage of syphilis usually causes a single, small, painless sore. Sometimes it causes swelling in nearby lymph nodes. If you do not treat it, syphilis usually causes a non-itchy skin rash, often on your hands and feet. Many people do not notice symptoms for years. Symptoms can go away and come back. The sores caused by syphilis make it easier to get or give someone HIV during sex. If you are pregnant, syphilis can cause birth defects, or you could lose your baby. In rare cases, syphilis causes serious health problems and even death. Syphilis is easy to cure with antibiotics if you catch it early. Correct usage of latex condoms greatly reduces, but does not completely eliminate, the risk of catching or spreading syphilis.

Page 25- Goal Promote responsible sexual behaviors, strengthen community capacity, and increase access to quality services to prevent sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and their complications. Overview Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) refer to the more than 25 infectious organisms transmitted primarily through sexual activity. STDs are among many related factors that affect the broad continuum of reproductive health agreed on in 1994 by 180 governments at the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD). At ICPD, all governments were challenged to strengthen their STD programs. STD prevention as an essential primary care strategy is integral to improving reproductive health. Despite the burdens, costs, complications, and preventable nature of STDs, they remain a significant public health problem, largely unrecognized by the public, policymakers, and public health and health care professionals in the United States. STDs cause many harmful, often irreversible, and costly clinical complications, such as reproductive health problems, fetal and perinatal health problems, and cancer. In addition, studies of the worldwide human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pandemic link other STDs to a causal chain of events in the sexual transmission of HIV infection.

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by a bacterium called Neisseria gonorrhoeae . The bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae first discovered in 1879. Neisseria gonorrhoeae grows and multiplies quickly in moist, warm areas of the body such as the cervix, urethra, mouth, or rectum. It can infect the genital tract, the mouth, and the rectum. In women, the opening (cervix) to the womb (uterus) from the birth canal is the first place of infection. The disease however can spread into the womb and fallopian tubes, resulting in pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Gonorrhea is the most common reportable infectious disease in the United States. There are an estimated 1. 5 million cases annually in the US. If left untreated, gonorrhea can lead to fever, chills, and painful swelling of the genitals and prostate in men. In women, the gonorrhea infection can spread to the uterus and fallopian tubes, resulting in sterility, ectopic (tubal) pregnancy, and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Infected pregnant women will pass the disease on to their newborn babies, with the disease affecting the infant's eyes. In both sexes, extreme untreated infections can enter the bloodstream and affect the joints, heart , and

You're Not Alone! About Dating with Herpes and HPV Why should you join a site like MPwH to date and socialize with other people who have herpes or HPV? People tend to choose others having similar interests and backgrounds, so having herpes or HPV might not seem to be a factor that would draw people together. However, MPwH works for all the following reasons: - Many people living with sexually transmitted diseases (also known as STDs) such as herpes or HPV have been afraid to start dating again, for fear of rejection, or simply for fear of passing herpes or HPV to their new partner. - Fair or not, many people in the dating world work from "deal-breakers" rather than "deal-makers." On MPwH, herpes dating and HPV dating are the standard, not the exception, so there is no STD stigma, no uncomfortable "talk" to give. - MPwH allows you to remain as anonymous as you like, with email for responses and on-site messenger so that you can interact without giving out any personally identifiable information.
