STD’s and STI’s in NYC
Sexually transmitted disease is defined as in infection passed from one person to another through sexual contact, according to the Health reference article, “STDs; What They Are and How to Prevent Them.” Approximately, 19 million new cases of sexually transmitted diseases are found every year. Sexually transmitted diseases are most easily spread by having vaginal, oral, or anal sex. Shaking hands hugging or simply touching are not really ways to transmit sexually transmitted diseases. Research shows that most sexually transmitted diseases are transmitted through the mucous membranes of the penis, vulva (female genitalia), vagina and the mouth. The mouth is considered to be a mucous membrane, however, the Health

Chlamydia is, currently, one of the three most prevalent sexually transmitted diseases. Chlamydia is spread through vaginal or anal intercourse. It is a sexually transmitted disease that can cause severe damage if untreated. Untreated chlamydia Kinko’s and pelvic inflammatory disease which may lead to infertility. How to know if you have the Chlamydia? Some symptoms of chlamydia or unusual discharge, burning and painful urination. However, most people won’t we are allies if they have the disease unless they get tested because in most cases chlamydia can be asymptomatic. According to Paul J Clara “ more than 80% of women in their early 50% of men are asymptomatic”. Meaning that many people are unaware and can be spreading the disease without even knowing. Another common disease is gonorrhea which is caused from bacteria traveling from an infected person to another person through sexual contact. Gonorrhea can also be referred to as “the clap”. Gonorrhea has the highest rate of infected individuals and is the second most common among teenagers. Symptoms of gonorrhea and chlamydia are pretty much identical such as burning painful urination and strange discharge. According to Paul J Clara “approximately 80% of women or a symptomatic, however, more than 80% of men notice greenish/yellowish discharge from the penis”. Gonorrhea can also lead to a pelvic inflammatory disease if not properly treated. The third most common STD I chose to discuss is syphilis which is a
Chlamydia is a sexual transmitted disease (STD) caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis, which is passed during sexual contact. Chlamydia is the most reported STD in the United States. Chlamydia affects males and females, but females have higher rates of contracting chlamydia. Rates of reported cases of chlamydia in the united states in 2014 in adolescent’s males age 15-19 were
organisms that include viruses and bacteria which are transmitted primarily through sexual intercourse. Modes of transmission also include non-sexual activities such as needles sharing during drug use, blood transfusions and vertical transmission from mother to child. STD surveillance and prevention measures are often geared towards adolescent and young adult populations, thus leaving the older adult population unrecognized and vulnerable.
Within the city of Sacramento you must obtain a license to operate any business from your residence. To receive your license, also known as a Home Occupation Permit, you will need to take several steps and meet certain eligibility and operational requirements. As the current cost of the non-refundable application fee is $154, I will want to make sure that everything is meeting their conditions before I apply.
Chlamydia trachomatis is a sexually transmitted bacterium that falls into the genus Chlamydia. In general it is prevalent amongst the younger adults due to living a promiscuous life style. C. trachomatis can be responsible for both long and short term effects from contracting this bacterial disease therefore the longer you have it the more severe the effects can be. Chlamydia can be asymptomatic meaning it can go unnoticed for a prolonged period of time without any symptoms; the symptoms that do arise are ones that can’t be ignored for they are irritating, painful and harmful, if left untreated. Anyone participating in any kind of sexual activity should be tested annually. There are a variety of ways and resources for diagnosing C. trachomatis along with treatments for this infection which include antibiotics and prevention strategies. C. trachomatis is the most common and reported sexually transmitted disease (STD) in Wisconsin (1). C. trachomatis has specific microbial characteristics such as size and shape. C. trachomatis is an obligate intracellular parasite which is a type of parasite that can reproduce only inside their host cell. Chlamydia is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomati. This bacterium can only be spread by having one or any of the following: anal, vaginal, and oral sex with someone who has chlamydia, this
It can also infect the eyes and rectum. 1 in 10 people have been infected with Chlamydia. It its spread through vaginal, anal and oral sex and can be passed on to unborn babies. There can be absolutely no symptoms however if you do have symptoms they can include vaginal bleeding, discharge, pain passing urine, lower abdominal pains, discharge from the penis and testicle pain. This can be treated with antibiotics however if untreated can lead to infertility!
Chlamydia is a bacterial infection that is found in semen and vaginal fluids. It can be spread through anal, vaginal, and oral sex to your sex partner. Because Chlamydia is a bacterial infection it can be cured with the use of antibiotics, but the individual will have to be tested first. Chlamydia can show no signs in patients but if it does patients will experience a burning sensation when urinating, lower abdomen pain, discharge from penial and vaginal area, swollen testicles, and pain or bleeding in anal area. It has been reported that 466 Chlamydia cases have been diagnosed per 100,000. Specifically in Huntsville, Texas there has been an increase amount of Chlamydia cases reported at Sam Houston State University. The rise in Chlamydia cases was due to a lot more students at the Sam Houston State
A more serious disease called lymphogranuloma venereum (when Chlamydia cause lesions in the genital mucosa and enter it) is also caused by Chlamydia, but it is not endemic in the developed world. People with Gonorrhoea are susceptible to a chlamydial infection. Females aged 15-24 (USA) are most susceptible to Chlamydia. Incidence rate and prevalence are highest among blacks.
Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease (STD). It is spread through sexual contact. Chlamydia can be in different areas of the body. These areas include the urethra, throat, or rectum. It is important to treat chlamydia as soon as possible. It can damage other organs if left untreated.
You can only get STDs, like herpes, if your partner is having an outbreak. False. Herpes does not always have symptoms and outbreaks are not always visible. That does not mean you cannot contract the disease. STDs are only spread from bodily fluid like semen, not just skin to skin contact. False. Bodily fluids can spread some STDs herpes and syphilis can be spread by skin to skin contact. You cannot get an STD from oral sex. False. Oral sex is sexual contact and STDs can be contracted from any type of sexual contact. All STDs are curable. False. Sexually transmitted diseases caused by bacteria can be treated with antibiotics but diseases caused by viral infections are incurable. These diseases include AIDS/HIV, herpes, and human papillomavirus. You cannot get an STD if you only have sex once. False. Sex is sex, first time or not. Chlamydia Chlamydia is a bacterial infection passed through sexual contact. It is the most commonly spread STD in America affecting about 3 million men and women, most often under 25. Planned Parenthood reports that it is three times more common than gonorrhea and 50 times more common than syphilis. Chlamydia can affect the penis, vagina, cervix, urethra, eye, or throat.75% of women and 50% of men have no Chlamydia symptoms. Women may experience abdominal pain, painful intercourse, a yellowish discharge with a foul
Slavery made a huge impact on America’s history. It has been exactly 150 years since Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery. Before that, life for any slave, man or woman, was extremely rough. They tried their best to make life easy for themselves. Some became fed up with their treatment so they overtly and covertly rebelled. Overt being the open and more dangerous of the two. Covert rebellions were more of snide comments towards their master. The life and rebellions of slaves were extremely difficult, but they made do with what they had.
The Effect pop culture has on having companionship (having friends vs being lonely) As teenagers currently, we are in the center of pop culture, sometimes caring more about what is popular versus what is right and what is comfortable. Pop culture is an evolving spectrum that can be moved from someone getting a pat on the back for dabbing after winning a wrestling match in march to now the next January and we say, “dude, did you really just dab, are you a middle schooler?” Pop Culture has shown that having friends is better than being alone in the long run. This is best illustrated by the movie Home Alone, the Legend trilogy by Marie Lu and the TV series Scorpion.
Isn’t making love is generally thought of as a magical thing shared between two people? Those two people are sharing a bond in which to express their affection towards each other. When making love, one doesn’t think of the chances harming themselves, however, in that enchanting exchange of adoration, there can be a horrific consequence if one fails to be cautious. It can result in sexually transmitted diseases. These diseases can kill any person who is sexually active. One needs to know that there is a possibility of receiving an STD. There are chances in which they can be cured but for some, it isn’t an option. An alternative may be to slow it down, but it will remain inside of you gradually weakening the immune system. It is all caused
In the attempt to avoid complications and further accuracy of diagnosis, more modern tests have been created. The Roche Amplicor PCR, polymerase chain reaction, was the first diagnostic test using nucleic acid amplification. This type of test “involves rapid thermal cycling in a specially programmed thermal cycler.” Test samples usually consist of urethral swabs for both men and women and cervical swabs for women. The second nucleic acid amplification test was the Abbott LCx test. Instead of PCR, Abbot LCx uses LCR, ligase chain reaction, to test for diagnosis. Results from this particular test may contain a more accurate realization for the chlamydial bacteria because it is species specific. Both nucleic acid tests concentrate on finding certain mutations in the target DNA.
Now that I have talked about how people can protect themselves from STD's, let's talk about the different kinds of sexually transmitted diseases. There are eight common disease on the rise which are stated in the book titled, Straight Talk About Sexually Transmitted Diseases, written by Michael Brodman, John Thacker, and Rachel Kranz. It lists the top eight to be: Chlamdia, Gonorrhea, Genital Warts, Genital Herpes, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), Hepatitis, Syphilis, and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). I'm sure everyone has heard of the most publicized one, AIDS, and I am sure most people have heard of some of the other ones, and I am also sure that a lot of people are not educated about theses diseases. I am going to talk a little about each one so people can see that sex does not only mean enjoyment, or getting pregnant, it also means there's
A person can get some STDs, such as herpes or genital warts, through skin to skin contact with an infected area or sore. Another myth about the spread of STDs is that you can’t get it if you have oral or anal sex. It is also wrong because the viruses or bacteria that cause STDs can enter the body through tiny cuts or tears in the mouth and anus, as well as the genitals . STDs also spread easily because you can’t tell whether someone has an infection. In fact, some people with STDs don’t even know that they have them because infections often do not cause any symptoms. Medically, infections are only called diseases when they cause symptoms. These people are in danger of passing an infection on to their sex partners without even realizing it.
