Question

Make a chart of ten known STD’s and separate them based on whether they are parasitic, bacterial or viral. Describe symptoms, treatment options and areas of the body affected. Also include statistics with each disease describing how prevalent they are in the sexually active population. Further separate treatable STD’s versus curable STD’s (you can put this in the same chart if you would like).

Answer 1

1)

Chlamydia:Chlamydia is the most common curable STD. It infects the cervix in women and the penile urethra in men. Its most frequent symptoms are pain during sex .Despite the lack of symptoms, it's important to get screened and treated if you think you might have been exposed to chlamydia. If you don't, it can do a lot of damage to your body in the long run. Estimated 2.86 million infections occur annually.it is treatable.

Gonorrhea:Gonorrhea, otherwise known as "the clap," is another common bacterial STD. It generally infects the same organs as chlamydia and has similar long-term effects. Currently, one of the biggest concerns about gonorrhea is treating it as there is a growing problem of antibiotic-resistant gonorrhea.An estimated 98 million new cases of gonorrhea occur annually.it is treatable

Syphilis:Syphilis is a common STD with a notorious history. Caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum, it can lead to serious complications if left untreated. Syphilis is transmitted by direct contact with syphilis sores, which can appear on the external genitals and the mouth, as well as in the rectum. WHO estimates that 5.6 million new cases of syphilis occurred among adolescents and adults aged 15–49 years worldwide.its curable

Mycoplasma Genitalium:In 2007, a prominent study of U.S. adolescents found that a little-known STD called Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) had surpassed gonorrhea in prevalence. Furthermore, MG, like gonorrhea and chlamydia, is starting to emerge as a major cause of cervicitis in women and nongonococcal urethritis in men.  Because most cases of MG don't cause symptoms and it was difficult to identify until the new technology became available. There is still no diagnostic test of MG that is cleared by the FDA for use in the United States.An estimated 45 million new cases of Mycoplasma Genitalium  occur annually

Trichomoniasis:Trichomoniasis is the most common curable STD, with infection more common in women than in men. Some women may mistake this infection for a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis since the symptoms are similar: frothy discharge, strong vaginal odor, pain during intercourse, irritation, and itching.Men can get trichomoniasis, but they don't tend to have symptoms.The World Health Organization estimates the worldwide incidence of trichomonas infection at over 220 million cases, although the accuracy of this estimate is highly uncertain.it is curable

Human Papilloma Virus (HPV):Human papilloma virus (HPV) is quite possibly the most common STD. Older studies from before the HPV vaccine was available estimated that three-quarters of the sexually active population had HPV at some point during their lives, and one-quarter of women were infected at any given time. HPV may be known as "the cervical cancer virus," but only a few types of HPV are linked to cancer, and they're linked to more than just cervical cancer. Others cause genital warts, other warts, or no symptoms at all.It is recommended that 11- to 12-year-olds get the HPV vaccine to protect young men and women from the four most common strains of the virus.Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes cervical cancer, which is the fourth most common cancer in women, with an estimated 7million.it is treatable

HIV/AIDS : HIV is the virus associated with AIDS. It can only be transmitted by an exchange of bodily fluids, including semen, vaginal secretions, ​breast milk, and blood. It cannot be transmitted by casual contact. Currently, most people with HIV are treated with a combination of drugs known as highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART), or combined anti-retroviral therapy (cART).Although these therapies cannot cure the disease, they can reduce the likelihood that infection will progress to AIDS.There were approximately 37.9 million people across the globe with HIV/AIDS.Neither of the treatment can be done.

Crabs/Pubic Lice:"Crabs" are a form of lice that live on the hair in the genital area and occasionally on other coarse-haired areas of the body, such as the armpits or the eyebrows. They are usually spread by sexual contact, although they also can occasionally be transmitted by infested linens and clothing. Symptoms include itching in the genital area and visible lice or eggs.There were approximately8.32 million people across the globe.its treatable

Scabies:Scabies is a contagious skin disease that is not always sexually transmitted. Caused by the parasite Sarcoptes scabei, scabies causes an extremely itchy rash that gets worse at night. The rash is most often found in folds of skin, such as between the fingers, on the wrists and ankles, and in the genital area. Scabies is incredibly contagious, and the mite can live for days off the human body.Globally, it is estimated to affect more than 200 million people at any time, although further efforts are needed to assess this burden.It is treatable.

Herpes/HSV: Herpes is another viral STD and it comes in two forms, HSV1 and HSV2. HSV1 is most often associated with cold sores, and HSV2 is most often associated with genital sores. However, it is possible to transmit herpes from the mouth to the genitals and vice versa. Herpes symptoms can be treated with antiviral drugs, but the virus cannot be cured. People with the herpes virus need to know that they can transmit the virus even when they do not have any sores or other symptoms.it is treatable.Globally, it is estimated to affect more than 17 million people at any time,

Hepatitis/HBV:There are several types of hepatitis. Although the different viruses are transmitted through various routes, they all cause damage to the liver. The type of hepatitis most often associated with sexual transmission is hepatitis B (HBV). However, hepatitis C can also be sexually transmitted.Over time, chronic infection with hepatitis B can lead to scarring of the liver, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. Fortunately, there is a vaccine that can protect you against infection.it is curable.It has been reported that 2 billion people have been infected with HBV
