Summary All these STD’s are passed through (vaginal, oral, or anal sex and some by skin-to-skin contact) People who have an std can still pass it to other people even if they feel and look healthy Can be tested at a doctors office or health clinic If showing any symptoms, go to the doctor right away Std’s can harm unborn babies, cause health problems, and damage the reproductive organs if not treated Can prevent all std’s by being abstinent Having a sexual relationship with only 1 person who is not infected and is not having sex with anyone else is also a way of reducing the risk.

Summary Symptoms are one of the immediate or short-term consequences of std Women with an std may have a discharge from the vagina, pain in the pelvic area, and burning or itching around the vagina Men often have a drip or discharge from the penis Both men and women with an std may notice: Sores, bumps, or blisters near the genital or anal areas or the mouth Burning or pain when urinating (peeing) Swelling or redness in the infected area Can sometimes be asymptomatic – does not cause symptoms

How condoms reduce the risk of std Condoms help prevent std in the same way they help prevent pregnancy Form a barrier so that body fluids are not exchanged Block the bacteria and viruses that cause std’s from being passed between partners Use every time a person has sex – vaginal, anal, and oral Nonlubricated condoms should be used for oral sex with a man Skin-to-skin touching: herpes, hpv, and syphilis Condom helps, but a person can still get the std if skin-to-skin occurs

How to deal with these barriers Go to a clinic in another neighborhood Think about the consequences of not getting treated Recognize that it’s better to know than to get really sick or give an std to someone else
