11. 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.

12. 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

13. 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

15. Why people might not get tested
Fear of seeing someone they know at the clinic
Fear of what people would think
Don’t want to admit they have an std
Don’t want to tell a stranger they have had sex
Don’t want to give names of sex partners

17. 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
