Gonorrhea Treatment • Antibiotics • Take all medication • Communicate with all sex partners regarding infection • Refrain from sexual activity until infection is gone • Condoms can help prevent the spread of gonorrhea
Gonorrhea Complications • Gonorrhea passed to newborns during delivery • Antibiotic eyedrops • PID • Epididymitis • Rarely, gonorrhea may spread bacteria to the body, infecting blood, joints, heart • Those with gonorrhea are more susceptible to HIV
About HPV • Incidence, Prevalence: • Incidence numbers = new cases • Prevalence numbers = those living with a condition • Other interpretation = those who may experience a condition at some point in their lives • US: Several million a year new cases; 20-40 million already infected (King County Public Health); 75-90% of population may expect to have HPV at some point in their lives • No required reporting • The most common STD
About HPV • Virus; therefore, incurable • A group of many viruses • 200+ strains • 40+ HPV forms can be sexually transmitted (CDC) • Transmission via vaginal, oral, anal sex
HPV Symptoms • Sometimes HPV provides no symptoms • Most common symptom is genital warts • Appearing days, weeks or longer after infection • Less common among men • Illustration • Photos: common & plantar warts, men, women , other images (OSU Student Health Services, afraidtoask.com, MayoClinic.com, avert.org)
HPV Prevention & Treatment • Genital warts may disappear on their own • Topical ointments/creams provided by physician • Freezing/burning/laser treatments for smaller warts • Communicate with all sex partners regarding HPV • Refrain from sexual activity until warts are gone • Condoms may help prevent HPV transmission (less definite than other conditions)
HPV Complication: Cancer • Approximately 30 of the HPV strains are thought to cause cervical cancer • HPV-16, HPV-18 thought to cause the most cervical cancer cases (Gardasil specific to these, also strains HPV-6, HPV-11, which are associated with warts ) • Women should have regular pap tests • HPV may also increase risk of vulvar, anal, penile, and oral cancers(ABC News, January 2012, 3:28)
HPV Prevalence, High- and Low-Risk, Among Females 14-59, 2003-2006
