chlamydia
Chlamydia Complications
• Conjunctivitis in newborn (eye drops given)
• Reiter’s Disease (sensitive photos)
• Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (Illustration, MD guidelines.com)
Infection
Disease-causing organisms migrate to uterus, fallopian tubes,
ovaries
Untreated, PID leads to scarring, pelvic pain, tubal pregnancy,
infertility
Treatment includes antibiotics
Approximately 1 million women affected each year
Approximately 100,000 women become infertile each year

Gonorrhea Treatment
• Antibiotics
Take all medication
• Communicate with all sex partners regarding
•
•
infection
Refrain from sexual activity until infection is gone
Condoms can help prevent the spread of
gonorrhea
Gonorrhea Complications
• Gonorrhea passed to newborns during delivery
Antibiotic eyedrops
• PID
• Epididymitis
• Rarely, gonorrhea may spread bacteria to the
•
body, infecting blood, joints, heart
Those with gonorrhea are more susceptible to
HIV
Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
About HPV
• Incidence, Prevalence:
Incidence numbers = new cases
Prevalence numbers = those living with a condition
Other interpretation = those who may experience a
condition at some point in their lives
US: Several million a year new cases; 20-40 million
already infected (King County Public Health); 75-90% of
population may expect to have HPV at some point in their
lives
No required reporting
The most common STD
About HPV
• Virus; therefore, incurable
A group of many viruses
200+ strains
40+ HPV forms can be sexually transmitted
(CDC)
• Transmission via vaginal, oral, anal sex
HPV Symptoms
• Sometimes HPV provides no symptoms
• Most common symptom is genital warts
Appearing days, weeks or longer after
infection
Less common among men

HPV Prevention & Treatment
•
•
•
•
•
•
Genital warts may disappear on their own
Topical ointments/creams provided by physician
Freezing/burning/laser treatments for smaller warts
Communicate with all sex partners regarding HPV
Refrain from sexual activity until warts are gone
Condoms may help prevent HPV transmission (less
definite than other conditions)
HPV Complication: Cancer
• Approximately 30 of the HPV strains are
thought to cause cervical cancer
HPV-16, HPV-18 thought to cause the most
cervical cancer cases (Gardasil specific to these,
also strains HPV-6, HPV-11, which are
associated with warts )
WHO/ICO Information Centre: world statistics
Women should have regular pap tests
• HPV may also increase risk of vulvar, anal,
penile, and oral cancers (ABC News, January 2012, 3:28)
HPV Prevalence, High- and Low-Risk,
Among Females 14-59, 2003-2006

Syphilis Symptoms
• Syphilis is a multi-stage disorder:
Primary stage - painless, infectious chancre
•
•
•
•
•
•
Several days-few months after infection
Genitals, mouth, rectum, other areas
Sometimes there is no chancre
Ulcer heals; many may think there is no problem

Syphilis Symptoms
Secondary stage
Infectious rash
•
•
•
•
•
3-6 weeks following infection
Hands, soles of feet; other areas
Fever and flu-like symptoms may also be apparent
Rash typically heals after several weeks
More photos, including rash pix (Hardin Library, CDC)
Condylomata Lata
• Wart-like lesions (on female, male, CDC)
Syphilis Symptoms
• Latent Stage
Infection hides in body, often central nervous system
Infected person can remain in this stage for years
There may be no symptoms for a long time
Disease begins to attack organs
Latent further divided into early, late, or unknown
stages based on when infection occurred
• Late/Tertiary Stage
Severe symptoms develop: paralysis/numbness;
blindness; heart disease; dementia
Syphilis Treatment
• Penicillin or other antibiotic
• Communicate with all sex partners regarding
•
•
syphilis
Refrain from sexual activity until infection is
gone
Condoms may help prevent syphilis
transmission
Syphilis Complications
• Late-stage syphilis
• If blood vessels affected,
stroke,other cardiovascular
incident may occur
• Nervous system (brain)
damage
• Al Capone
Apparently knew, did not
treat
Became confused,
disoriented
Syphilis
• PBS “Frontline:” The Children of Rockdale County
• Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment
Began in 1930s
~400 African American males with syphilis observed
When penicillin became available, not provided
Ended in 1972 as a result of a news leak; settlement in
1974; Al Gore overview (1:35, usrf.org)
Formal apology did not occur until 1997 (1:10, usrf.org)
Over 100 individuals died from syphilis complications
PBS “Nova” - “The Deadly Deception” (1:30-9:44/20:41/22:13/23:45/
26:39/31:08 via Youtube)
Syphilis
• Guatemala Experiment (3:07, NBC News)
March 14, 2011 - lawsuit filed after demands for outof-court settlement were not met
June 2012 – lawsuit dismissed in federal court
Herpes
About Herpes
• STD caused by the herpes simplex virus
• Incidence
US: 500,000 to 1,000,000 new cases/year
WA, 2011: 2149 new cases, 8 neonatal cases (DOH)
King County: 700 initial infections in 2006
• Prevalence: 45 million adolescents and adults
•
•
have had “genital herpes” (CDC)
Caused by a Herpes Simplex I (HS-1) or Herpes
Simplex II virus (HS-2)
HS-1 generally causes oral lesions; HS-2
generally causes genital lesions; not exclusive
Genital Herpes, Physician Visits,
1966-2011
About Herpes
• Transmission via vaginal, oral, anal sex
• Transmission of virus can also occur through fingers
•
•
(touching a sore, then touching a membrane)
Transmission of virus possible when no sores present
Transmission to fetus possible, but not typically if herpes
was contracted before pregnancy
If pregnant woman contracts herpes toward end of
pregnancy, transmission to fetus more likely
If pregnant woman has active herpes, Cesarean
performed
• Transmission may occur outside body contact, but no
proof
Herpes Symptoms
• Most common symptom is blisters
First (primary) outbreak occurs within a few
weeks of contact
May continue for a couple weeks, longer for
those with compromised immune system
May feel painful, itchy, tingle/burn
Herpes Symptoms
• Flu-like symptoms (headache, fever,
•
•
•
•
swollen lymph glands, muscle aches, etc)
Burning during urination

Herpes Symptoms
• Many people (numbers difficult to estimate;
•
some references cite 25-60%) asymptomatic
Recurring outbreaks usually less severe
Episodes are shorter
Episodes become less frequent
50-80% (HS-1 vs HS-2) will experience recurrence
Asymptomatic shedding of virus less prevalent
Herpes Treatment
• No cure; herpes simplex remains in body for life
2009 research revealed re HS-1
• Published in Nature Immunology
• A cellular combat process against HS-1 has been identified
Infected cell can stimulate immune system to fight HS-1
“Hidden” infected cells can show themselves when infectious
state thrives (low-grade fever)
• Information from work might be used to develop therapies
HS-1, HIV, other viral infections
• Information from work might be used to keep virus hidden
Herpes Treatment
• Symptoms are treatable
Antiretroviral medications, usually prescribed for genital
herpes, may also be prescribed for oral cold sores
Supplements (lysine)
Abreva
Avoid touching sores
Keep affected area clean
Wash hands
Communicate with all sex partners regarding herpes
Refrain from sexual activity until outbreak is gone
Condoms may help prevent herpes transmission (during
outbreak blisters are highly contagious)
Herpes Complications
• In otherwise healthy individuals, herpes
does not cause serious complications
• Among those with compromised immune
systems, herpes outbreaks can be very
severe, last a long time
• Having herpes increases one’s
vulnerability to HIV
HIV and AIDS
About HIV and AIDS
• Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) causes
•
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
(AIDS)
Incidence:
WA, 2011: 514 new cases (1/3 = later stage)
King County - HIV: ~300-400 each year; AIDS:
~100-200; ~6,500 to 8,000 living with HIV (WA
State/Seattle-King County HIV/AIDS Epidemiology Report, 1st Half of 2011)
US: 56,300 new HIV cases in 2006 (CDC,
presentation)
About HIV and AIDS
• Transmission via vaginal, oral, anal sex,
needle sharing, mother to infant, rarely via
blood transfusions or healthcare settings
One 1990s incident of transmission between
infected health care worker (dentist) and five
patients
Per CDC (2011), 57 cases of HIV transmission to
healthcare workers through 2001,with no cases
since 1999
About HIV and AIDS
• HIV not transmitted via:
Toilet seats
Mosquito bites
Sharing eating utensils
Food
Shaking hands, hugging
Donating blood
• No scientific evidence HIV is transmitted
other ways
About HIV and AIDS
• Currently, HIV does not survive well in the
•
environment
HIV found in sweat, tears, saliva - but no
documentation of transmission
2009: pre-chewed food thought to cause three HIV
transmission between caregivers and children
• Blood in saliva (bleeding gums)
• An issue where pre-chewing food for infants is common
(Africa)
• No known risk in the workplace, school, etc.
• AIDSinAfrica.com
• HIV and AIDS in the World (PBS)
HIV Symptoms
• Symptoms unreliable in diagnosing HIV
• First symptoms experienced may be flu-like
(fever, headache, muscle aches, fatigue, etc)
Symptoms may occur days to weeks after infection
Symptoms may last days or weeks
• Diagnosis requires testing for HIV antibodies
HIV Symptoms
• After early flu-like symptoms disappear:
There may be no symptoms for a long time
Virus replicates
• As HIV leads to AIDS:
Boils, warts, herpes infections, skin rashes
Fatigue
Diarrhea
Frequent fevers
Yeast infections
Weight loss
HIV Treatment
• Medications provided as a “cocktail”
Antiretroviral drugs interfere with HIV’s ability to reproduce
Entry inhibitors may prevent HIV from entering a cell
Reverse transcriptase inhibitors interfere with the
beginning of HIV’s reproductive cycle
Protease inhibitors interfere with the end of HIV’s
reproductive cycle
Integrase inhibitors interferes with HIV genetic material
moving into a CD4 cell, halting replication
• Research continues on vaccine
• Clinical trial results 2010 - antiretrovirals may
prevent HIV transmission
HIV Complications
• AIDS
Status of HIV is monitored through CD4 count
and viral load every few months
If HIV progresses, CD4 count reduces, viral
load increases
Normal CD4 often referenced as 500-1000
AIDS diagnosis requires CD4 of 200
Low viral load ~40-500
High viral load ~5,000-10,000 (can be higher)
AIDS Symptoms
• AIDS diagnosis includes specific white cell count
and diagnosis of one of over two dozen
opportunistic infections
• Nearly all organs are affected
Respiratory problems
Seizures, lack of coordination
Confusion, forgetfulness
Gastrointestinal pain, cramping, vomiting
Weight loss
Fever
Severe diarrhea
