Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD)

[MaD-DoC]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Abnormal Cell Changes [/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]If a woman is sexually active, having a Pap smear every year is the best way to keep from getting cervical cancer. Cancer almost always can be prevented before it occurs when abnormal cells are found and treated early.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]What is a cervix?[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A cervix is the neck of the uterus (womb) that forms the passageway between the uterus and the vagina inside a female's body. The cervix in teen women is often not fully mature. This can make it easier for a teen woman to develop cell changes from HPV and to become infected with other STDs.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]How are abnormal cells changes found?[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Doctors and nurses test for abnormal cell changes through a simple procedure called a Pap smear. A Pap smear is usually part of an annual pelvic examination. A pelvic exam includes the doctor or nurse checking the external genital area. They also use their hands to feel the shape of the internal reproductive organs to make sure they feel normal.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]What is a Pap smear?[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A Pap smear is a test made to find abnormal cells on the cervix before they turn into cancer (precancerous changes). Precancerous changes are caused by HPV.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The Pap smear is simple and quick, and most women have little discomfort. A small wooden spatula and a small brush are used to collect cells from the cervix. The cells are fixed onto a slide and the slide is examined by a pathology lab to make sure the cells look normal. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]If the cells don't look normal your doctor or nurse may repeat the Pap smear in a few months. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Often, the repeated Pap smear will be normal. Or, they may ask you to come in to look at your cervix with a specially lighted magnifying lens called a colposcope (this looks like a pair of binoculars with a bright light).[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]If you are asked to repeat your Pap smear in a few months and it is again abnormal, you will also have a colposcopy. As an alternative, some doctors will do a test for HPV and if it is positive for the virus (HPV is found to be present on the cervix) you will have a colposcopy.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]When should I get a Pap Smear?[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Women should begin having yearly Pap smears when they become sexually active, that is, begin to have sexual intercourse. A yearly Pap smear helps check for any sign of abnormal cell growth on the cervix. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Should I worry about getting cervical cancer?[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Cervical cancer, in most cases, is preventable through annual Pap smears. In the United States, approximately 5,000 women die annually from cervical cancer, and in most cases, these would have been preventable deaths if Pap smears had been done regularly.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The main purpose of Pap smears is NOT to screen for cancer. It screens for abnormal cell changes that happen long before any cancer develops. That's why this simple procedure is so important for taking care of your sexual health.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]HPV and Penile and Anal Cancer [/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The same types of HPV that are linked to cervical cancer can also cause abnormal cell changes in the anus and the penis. Not much is written about this, but more and more information is showing that anal cancer and penile cancer are also linked to HPV infection.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Nongonococcal Urethritis (NGU) [/FONT][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif](curable with medication) [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]NGU stands for nongonococcal urethritis, which means that after testing, gonorrhea has been ruled out as the cause of someone's urethral infection. The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the bladder.
NGU refers to symptoms guys often have when they've gotten an STD. Painful urination (peeing) and/or a discharge from the penis are usual NGU symptoms for guys.
The most common and most serious cause of NGU is chlamydia. Chlamydia is a very common STD caused by bacteria that can be easily cured by antibiotics if treated early.
For women, chlamydia often causes no symptoms. But symptoms may include painful urination (peeing) and/or unusual vaginal discharge. It's important to remember that these symptoms can also be signs of something other than chlamydia or NGU.
Remember: While men primarily are infected with NGU, women can easily be infected with the main cause of NGU, chlamydia.
A guy who is diagnosed with NGU should tell his partner so she or he can be tested. Telling female partners right away can help prevent lasting damage to her body. Also, all partners need to be treated so they do not re-infect each other.
The good news is that NGU can be cured with antibiotics. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)[/FONT][/FONT]

(curable with medication)

• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix or uterus, which are all parts of the female reproductive system. [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] PID is usually caused when an STD--such as chlamydia or gonorrhea--is left untreated. [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Women often have no symptoms or very mild ones. The most common symptom is cramping, pain or tenderness in the pelvic or lower abdominal area. Other possible symptoms are bleeding between menstrual periods, increased or changed vaginal discharge, pain during sex, nausea and/or vomiting, and fever. [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] PID can be dangerous because it can cause scarring of the fallopian tubes, which can lead to other problems such as infertility or an ectopic pregnancy (when a fetus grows anywhere outside the uterus, such as in the fallopian tubes). [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] PID can cause long-lasting pain in the pelvic area. [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] PID can develop anywhere from several days to several months after infection with a sexually transmitted disease, usually gonorrhea or chlamydia. [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] If caught early, PID can be treated with antibiotics. More severe cases may require a hospital stay. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Scabies[/FONT][/FONT]

(curable with medication)

• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Scabies is similar to pubic lice, but the bugs are too small to be seen. [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] The bugs dig under the skin. [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Scabies causes very itchy small sores all over the body. [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Scabies rarely is found on the neck or face. [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] A liquid medicine applied on the entire body treats scabies and is available by prescription only. [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Because scabies is highly contagious (able to be spread to another person), family members often must be treated, too. [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Clothes, bed sheets and towels must be washed after treatment since the bugs can live in them. [/FONT]

 

[MaD-DoC]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Syphilis[/FONT][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Bacterial Diseases
(curable with medication)[/FONT]

• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Bacteria cause syphilis. [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Symptoms of syphilis occur in stages. [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] First, sores appear in the genital area within three weeks to three months after having unprotected sex with an infected person; the sores usually are not painful. [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] In women, sores may be hidden in the vagina. Sores disappear after a few weeks, but bacteria remain in the body. [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Second, the disease reappears as a rash on the palms of the hands, bottoms of the feet or somewhere else on the body. The rash disappears, too, but the bacteria can attack other parts of the body years later. [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Blindness and brain damage may occur up to 30 years later. A mother may pass syphilis to her unborn child. [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] At any stage of the disease, penicillin can cure syphilis, but damage cannot be reversed. [/FONT]

 

[MaD-DoC]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Prevention[/FONT]

• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Abstinence, or not having oral, vaginal or anal sex, is the best way to protect yourself. It is possible to get an STD even without having intercourse (penis in the vagina, mouth or anus) through skin-to-skin contact.
  
  [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] There are many alternatives to intercourse, like mutual or self-masturbation.
  
  [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] If you have sex, choose only one partner who you know well and trust. Someone who only has sex with you. This is called "mutual monogamy." Limiting your number of sex partners helps reduce your risk of getting an STD.
  
  [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Use latex condoms correctly for any type of sex (vaginal, oral or anal) from start to finish.
  
  [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Limiting your number of sex partners helps reduce your risk of getting an STD. But remember, just because you and your partner may be monogamous with each other, the risk of getting an STD is increased by the number of previous sexual partners either partner has had.
  
  [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Always use water-based lubricants (like K-Y jelly, Astroglide or glycerin) with latex condoms. Oil lubricants, like petroleum jelly, baby oil or cooking oil, can cause latex condoms to break.
  
  [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Latex condoms may protect the penis, vagina, mouth or anus (butt hole) from some STDs, but they don’t offer 100% protection. STDs like HPV and herpes, for example, can be on skin a condom won’t cover (like the base of the penis or the vulva, a woman’s outer genital skin).
  
  [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Sometimes infection can spread to or from areas like the scrotum or anal area. STDs like herpes and genital warts are spread through skin-to-skin contact, not fluid exchange.
  
  [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] A female polyurethane condom is available and may protect these areas better, but it is NOT to be used with a male condom. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Know the Facts. Know for Sure. [/FONT]

• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] If you or your partner have had sex, especially if it was unprotected, you may have an STD and not know it.
  
  [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Remember that in many cases, people don't have symptoms of STDs but may still be able to give an infection to a partner.
  
  [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] If you think you have an STD, there is something you can do about it. The only way to know for sure is to be tested. Call ASHA at (800) 227-8922 weekdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., ET.
  
  [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] STDs like chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis are curable. While not curable, diseases like HIV, HPV, herpes and hepatitis B are treatable.
  
  [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] If left untreated, STDs can lead to long-term consequences, like infertility, long-term pain or cancer. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]If You Think You Have an STD: [/FONT]

• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Talk to your mom or dad, or another adult you trust
  
  [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Ask the school nurse about getting help
  
  [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Call your family doctor
  
  [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Call your local public health department or Planned Parenthood clinic [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Remember: If you call your local public health department or Planned Parenthood clinic and ask about testing, they cannot diagnose you over the phone. You will need to go to the clinic and get tested to know for sure if you have an STD. [/FONT]​

 

[MaD-DoC]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Symptoms[/FONT][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]What Are the Symptoms?
Most people who have an STD have no symptoms. A test from your health care provider or local health clinic may be the only way to tell for sure if you're infected. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]If you do become infected, symptoms may appear right away. Or, they may not show up for weeks or months or even years. They may come and go. Even if the signs and symptoms go away, you can still infect other people if you have sex with them. Or, they can still infect you! [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]STDs: Who, What, Where, When and Why
When you have sex with a partner, especially if it’s unprotected, you risk a variety of sexually transmitted diseases, bugs and infections. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]STD Symptoms for Women
It's hard to describe STD symptoms. They can be similar to symptoms from other diseases that have nothing to do with sex. But if you think you may have been at risk for an STD, some symptoms you may have are: [/FONT]

• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Sores, bumps or blisters near your genitals, anus (butt hole) or mouth [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Burning or pain when you urinate (pee) [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Itching, bad smell or unusual discharge from your vagina or anus (butt hole) [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Bellyache (pain in your lower abdomen) [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Bleeding from your vagina between your menstrual periods [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Remember: Sometimes symptoms don't show up for weeks or months or years. [/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]STD Symptoms for Men
With men, too, it's not easy to describe STD symptoms because they can be confused with other conditions and diseases. If you have been at risk for an STD, some symptoms you might have include: [/FONT]

• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Sores, bumps or blisters near your genitals, anus (butt hole) or mouth [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Burning or pain when you urinate (pee) [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Drip or discharge from your penis [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Itching, pain or discharge from your anus (butt hole) [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Remember: Sometimes symptoms don't show up for weeks or months. [/FONT]​

 

[MaD-DoC]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Testing
[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]For some STDs, all the doctor or nurse will need is for you to urinate (pee) in a cup. They can tell a lot by looking for certain organisms in your urine. Some STDs may be diagnosed by swabbing (or taking a cotton swab or wooden spatula) and taking a sample of vaginal secretions and looking at it under a microscope. Other STDs, like herpes, are diagnosed by culturing the fluid inside the little sores or blisters. And sometimes a blood sample will be taken for tests. Ask what kind of test you will have. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]If you feel nervous about getting checked for STDs, take a few deep breaths and try to relax. You may be shy about having doctors and nurses look at your genitals. The tests are usually quick, and it may help to remember that the nurses and doctors are there to help you, and do this kind of test all the time. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Do my parents have to find out?[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]

This varies a lot from state to state. Some clinics will see you without your parents' permission and some will not. If you are concerned about this, call the clinic before you go. Ask if you need to bring your parent along for permission and what information the clinic will share with them. This way you know what to expect ahead of time.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Know the Facts. Know for Sure. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] If you or your partner have had sex, especially if it was unprotected, you may have an STD and not know it.

[MaD-DoC]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Treatment[/FONT][/FONT]

Different types of treatments are given for each STD. For some, treatment involves taking pills or getting a shot to kill the organism that caused the STD. Some STDs are viruses and cannot be cured, but treatment can ease the symptoms. Treatments for viruses can include pills, topical creams, or procedures done in the clinic.
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Treatment Tips [/FONT]

• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Take ALL the medicine you are given, even if you start to feel better before the medicine runs out. [/FONT]
• Talk to your health care provider (doctor or nurse) about when you can have sex again and make sure your partner goes to a clinic, too. With many STDs, your partner could give the disease back to you if they aren’t treated (even if they feel OK).
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Never take anyone else's medicine or give yours to someone else. Never split prescription medicines with someone. [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Go back to the clinic for more tests if you are asked to do this. [/FONT]
• [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Tell the people you've had sex with that you've learned you have an STD and they need to be tested. [/FONT]
