Bacterial Infection Chlamydia trachomatis Can infect vagina, penis, anus, throat “Silent infection” Often no symptoms Irreversible damage before you know it Untreated can lead to infertility in women-Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) Long term complications in men are rare Easy to treat if recognized! Chlamydia
10
abnormal vaginal/penis discharge burning sensation when urinating Men: itching or burning around head of penis Chlamydia Symptoms
11
Bacterial Neisseria gonorrhoeae Sites of infection Anus, eyes, mouth, genitals, or throat Leads to infertility if untreated Still easy to treat in USA…this could change Gonorrhea

14
Lab testing needed Culture: Swab site of infection DNA test: Urine or swab of infection site Can’t tell the difference by examination! Diagnosis of Gonorrhea and Chlamydia
15
Bacterial infection making a comeback Much more complicated to investigate and treat than chlamydia and gonorrhea Symptoms vary by stage Majority of cases in northwest are in MSM Syphilis
16
Direct contact with a syphilis sore Sores occur mainly on the external genitals, vagina, anus, or in the rectum. Sores also can occur on the lips and in the mouth. Transmission of the organism occurs during vaginal, anal, or oral sex Transmission
17
Usually a single sore, but there may be multiple sores. Usually firm, round, small, and painless. The sore lasts 3 to 6 weeks, and it heals without treatment. However, if adequate treatment is not administered, the infection progresses to the secondary stage. Primary Syphilis (1-90 days after infection)

One shot to treat! Only time you are contagious! Primary Syphilis
21
Rash-usually on the palms of hands and soles of feet Still can be treated with 1 shot at this stage Not contagious Progress to Late Syphilis if not treated Secondary Syphilis
22
23
Infection is present in body but not doing any damage Still treatable! About 15% will progress to Late syphilis if NOT treated Latent Syphilis
24
Approximately 10-20 years after first infected Irreversible damage to organs brain, nerves, eyes, heart, blood vessels, liver, bones, and joints. Signs and symptoms difficulty coordinating muscle movements, paralysis, numbness, gradual blindness, and dementia death Late Syphilis
