State of physical, mental, and social well-being related to sexuality. It's more than just not having a disease; it involves positive experiences, respect, and safety.

Five reasons why people use fertility control, like preventing unintended pregnancies and STDs.

Different methods of fertility control have different success rates, measured by how often they prevent unintended pregnancies.

Contraception methods that combine estrogen and progestin hormones.

Birth control methods that use only progestin hormones.

A small device inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy.

Contraceptive methods that physically block sperm from reaching the egg, like condoms or diaphragms.

Common infections spread through sexual contact.

Historical methods used to avoid pregnancy, including using substances like acacia bark, dates, and honey in the vagina, douching with water or mixtures, and having the woman jump or sneeze after intercourse.

Methods of birth control involving the man not ejaculating or not ejaculating in the vagina.

The union of sperm and ovum resulting in pregnancy, takes place in the fallopian tube.

The ovaries produce an ovum roughly every 28 days, which can survive for about 24 hours after release waiting for fertilization.

The uterus is where the fertilized ovum develops into a fetus, connecting both fallopian tubes.

Strategies to avoid unwanted pregnancies

Percentage of women getting pregnant during the first year of using a method.

How well a method works when used correctly and consistently.

Estimates method effectiveness including typical mistakes and issues.

Methods with high failure rates.

Methods that track ovulation to predict fertile days.

Rinsing the vagina with fluid after intercourse to clear sperm

A chemical that kills or weakens sperm, often used in combination with barrier methods like condoms or diaphragms.

Contraceptive methods that rely on hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone, to prevent ovulation or make cervical mucus thicker, making it harder for sperm to reach the egg.

Contraceptive methods that use both estrogen and progesterone hormones. Examples include birth control pills, patches, and vaginal rings.

Contraceptive methods that only use progesterone. Examples include the mini-pill, injections, and implants.

Extremely effective in preventing pregnancy, long-lasting, reversible, and can be used for several years.

May cause heavier menstrual flow or cramps, and requires medical insertion and removal.

A sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhea, which mainly affects mucous membranes. It's usually spread through genital, oral, or anal sexual contact.

Syphilis is caused by the bacteria Treponema pallidum and is transmitted through microscopic skin breaks during genital, oral, or anal contact, or through direct blood transfer. It can also be passed to the fetus during pregnancy.

If untreated, syphilis progresses to a latency period with no obvious symptoms while the bacteria continue to reproduce in various body parts.

HSV is a virus causing sores on the body. HSV-1 is associated with cold sores on the mouth, while HSV-2 is associated with lesions in the genital area.

HSV remains dormant in nerve cells, allowing for periodic recurrences of sores, even after initial infection.

Chlamydia, an STI caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis, often produces few or no symptoms, but can lead to serious complications if left untreated.

Syphilis can be effectively treated with antibiotics at any stage of the infection.

While there's no cure for HSV, antiviral medications can suppress outbreaks and reduce the risk of transmission.

HIV is most commonly spread through sexual contact between men, sharing needles, and sexual contact with an infected person of the opposite sex. It's not transmitted through blood tests or donations.

If you've used shared needles, had unprotected sex with men who have sex with men or multiple partners, exchanged sex for drugs or money, or have certain health conditions like hepatitis, consider getting tested.

Pubic lice, or 'crabs', are tiny insects that feed on blood and live in hair shafts, primarily in the genital area. They can also be found in armpits, beards, and eyelashes.

Pubic lice are spread through close body contact and can also be transmitted through contaminated objects like towels, bedding, and clothing.

Scabies is caused by a tiny mite called Sarcoptes scabiei that burrows into the skin, where they live and lay eggs.

Scabies causes intense itching, especially at night, and a rash with tiny bumps or blisters.

Scabies can be treated with medication, but remember to also wash clothes, towels, and bedding in hot water to kill any remaining mites.

Pubic lice are spread through close body contact, sharing clothing, and using contaminated objects like towels and bedding.
