Herpes Simplex

  • Viral infection caused by Herpesvirus Hominis (HSV)
  • Two types: HSV-1 (oral) and HSV-2 (genital)
  • Transmission through sexual contact
  • Symptoms: oral sores, blisters, ulcers, and lymphadenopathy
  • Diagnosis through patient history, physical exam, and laboratory tests
  • Treatment: antiviral medications (e.g., acyclovir) and symptomatic relief

AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome)

  • Progressive weakening of the immune system
  • Caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
  • Transmission through blood-to-blood contact, sexual contact, and from mother to child
  • Symptoms: opportunistic infections and unusual cancers
  • Diagnosis through blood tests detecting HIV antibodies or HIV RNA
  • Treatment: antiretroviral therapy (ART)

Gonorrhea

  • Bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI)
  • Caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae
  • Transmission through unprotected sexual contact
  • Symptoms: typically asymptomatic in females, males may experience urethritis and discharge
  • Diagnosis: laboratory tests
  • Treatment: antibiotics (e.g., ceftriaxone, azithromycin)

Syphilis

  • Bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI)
  • Caused by Treponema pallidum
  • Transmission through direct contact with a chancre
  • Stages: primary (chancre), secondary (rash), tertiary (organ damage)
  • Diagnosis through blood tests
  • Treatment: antibiotics (e.g., penicillin)

General Information on Risk and Complications

  • Herpes

  • Sexual contact with an infected person is a major risk factor

  • Complications during pregnancy may include spontaneous abortion or premature birth

  • Multiple sexual partners, intravenous drug use, and blood transfusions are risk factors

  • Complications include opportunistic infections and Kaposi's sarcoma

  • Gonorrhea

  • Unprotected sex, new partners, and history of STIs increase risk

  • Complications include inflammation and greenish-yellow discharge

  • Syphilis

  • Sexual contact during specific stages of syphilis infection is a factor
