  5. Unit Plan 5 Lessons (1 hour each) • Lesson 1 Prevalence of STDs • Lesson 2 Prevention of STDs • Lesson 3 Transmission of STDs • Lesson 4 Symptoms of STDs • Lesson 5 Treatment of STDs

  6. Rationale: The most common STDs on college campuses are Chlamydia, Human Papilloma virus (HPV) and Genital Herpes. Many students who are infected can be so without knowing it, and continue to infect others. This is why college adults (ages 18-24) have such high rates of STDs.

  7. Genital herpes — Initial visits to physicians' offices: United States, 1966–2003

  8. VIRAL HIV/AIDS BACTERIAL Vaginitis (bacterial vaginosis-BV) Pelvic Inflammatory Disease(PID) Trichomoniasis Gonorrhea Syphilis Other common STDs to be aware of:

  9. Prevalence of STDs Prevalence is the number of new and old cases of something. • In 2002, 834,555 chlamydial infections were reported to the CDC • 75 percent of reproductive age women and men have been infected with genital HPV at some point in their lives

  10. Prevalence (cont.) • 20% of students engaging in sexual activity may be infected with herpes

  11. Prevention of STD’s • The surest way to avoid transmission of sexually transmitted diseases, including genital herpes, Chlamydia, and HPV is to abstain from sexual contact. Abstinence is the only 100% effective way to prevent STD contraction or transmission.

  12. Prevention: • Using condoms and other barrier methods used properly can also prevention contraction of STDs. • To be in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with a partner who has been tested and is known to be uninfected.

  13. Prevention:

  14. At Risk Behaviors: • Having more than one partner • Partner has had sex with other partners • Having oral, vaginal, or anal sex without using a condom or other barrier method. • Sharing IV drug needles or having sex with someone who has • Having had an STD in the past

Transmission of STDs • Chlamydia can be transmitted during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. • Herpes can be transmitted through sores that the viruses cause, but they also are released between outbreaks from skin that does not appear to be broken or to have a sore. • HPV can be transmitted through vaginal, anal, and oral sex.

  16. Symptoms of STDs • Some of the same symptoms may be present among different STD’s • Only way to diagnose correctly is to get tested • Herpes – sores (oral and genital)

  17. Symptoms (cont.) • Chlamydia – “the drip” • HPV – warts

  18. Treatment of STDs • Chlamydia can be easily treated and cured with antibiotics. • There is no treatment that can cure herpes, but there are medications that can shorten and prevent outbreaks. • Treatment for HPV is the removal of symptomatic warts

  19. Treatment • No STD should be left untreated!!!!

  20. Risky Business The Human Papilloma Virus • 28% of College Students have HPV • There is an increase in new cases each year LET’S SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR SAMPLE POPULATION
