Viral Infections Viral STIs are caused by viruses passed from person-to-person during sexual activity. Human Papilloma Virus (HPV): – most common viral infection. – Over 30 types of HPV that are sexually transmitted through oral, anal or vaginal sex. Genital Herpes: – Caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus – Same family of viruses that cause cold sores around the mouth – Transmitted by sexual activities or skin-to-skin contact. Hepatitis B Virus: – Affects the liver – Hepatitis B is easily transmitted not only through sexual activities, but by sharing items like razors, needles and toothbrushes. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV): – Attacks the body’s immune system, leaving infected individuals unable to fight off other illness. – Transmitted through sexual activities, but also spread by sharing items like razors, needles and toothbrushes. – It is not spread by hugging, shaking hands and other casual contact.

Bacterial Infections Bacterial STIs are caused by bacteria passed from person-to-person during sexual activity. Chlamydia: – One of the most common STIs especially among people ages 15 to 24. – If left untreated it can cause infertility in both women and men. Gonorrhea (“the clap”): – Infection that often is transmitted at the same time as Chlamydia and shares the same symptoms. – It is found most commonly in people aged 15 to 29. If left untreated it can cause infertility in both women and men. Syphilis (“the great imitator”): – Syphilis is called the great imitator because it shows signs that other diseases show. – Three stages Stage 1 starts with a small painless sore where the bacteria red the body Stage two, a person may develop a general feeling of being unwell or flat smooth warts in the genital area Stage three, syphilis that has been left untreated can cause heart problems, mental issues, and even death.

Parasitic Infections Caused by parasites passed from person-to-person during sexual activity. A parasite is a creature that lives off another beings body. Trichomoniasis (Trich): – Single-celled organism can infect the urethra, bladder, vagina, cervix or get under the foreskin. – Transmitted through sexual activity and by sharing sex toys. Pubic Lice (Crabs): – Also called crabs – Public Lice live in pubic hairs around the genitals. They lay eggs at the base of the hair. Scabies (Mites): – Scabies are tiny mites that dig little holes below the surface of the skin where they lay eggs.
10
Fungal Infections While not technically STIs, this infection can be passed through sexual contact in rare circumstances. Yeast Infection (Candida): – A vaginal yeast infection is a common fungal infection caused by overgrowth of naturally occurring yeast. – Yeast is normally found in a woman’s vagina in small numbers, but sometimes they can multiply and change the normal balance of bacterial growth. When the fungi begin to grow in excess, they may develop into candidiasis.
