Persuasive Essay On Sexually Transmitted Disease

While sexual education is mandatory in almost all secondary schools across Australia, the level of depth at which it is taught varies throughout every school. Many highly important areas of sex ed, such as learning about consent, contraceptive options and violence in relationships, are less commonly taught in high school, with puberty typically being the prime topic taught in PDHPE lessons instead. But when we look at the increase in things such as sexual assault, sexual violence, Sexually Transmitted Infections and teenage pregnancy among today’s youth, we must wonder why such imperative subjects to educate teenagers on are discussed so minimally.

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

I think it is safe to say that no two words elicit more feelings of concern, anxiety, and anger in parents, and stirs up more controversy and debate than the words “sexual education”. This especially true with the implementation of the new, revised sexual education curriculum in Ontario schools. Consequently, this controversy has strongly divided individuals, families, and organizations between those who approved of and those who opposed and protested against school-based programs that providee sexual health education to children. But why so much opposition? This is due to the significant changes made to the sexual education curriculum and the sensitive nature of the topics being taught to children regarding sexuality as a whole, changes which are seen as both radical and “even more explicit and more age-inappropriate than before…” (“Ontario’s Radical,” n.d.).

Teen pregnancy is a serious issue not just in the U.S but around the world

STD-KQ was developed by Jaworski and Carey in 2006 for measuring young adults’ knowledge of six STDs – gonorrhoea, chlamydia, genital herpes, hepatitis B, HIV and human papillomavirus (HPV). STD-HL-KQ was designed for this study in order to explore knowledge on the STDs not covered by the STD-KQ (namely genital mycoplasmas, syphilis, molluscum contagiosum, Trichomonas vaginalis and pubic lice) and to assess high-level knowledge and multifaceted understanding of STDs. Both questionnaires consisted of 27 items

It is often said that once something is on the web you cannot get it back. Considering the size of the world wide web and the constant and almost immediate growth, it appears to be impossible to monitor. Individual websites may be able to monitor their content with routine updates and reviews of their sites content; and common well-known websites such as google and social media networks such as Facebook and twitter may be able to monitor their content with continuous monitoring of their sites material with random evaluations to prevent illegal activity. Although, when refereeing to the numerous websites, that go unnoticed monitoring can be considered almost impossible.

When a country is different in United States and Japan, almost all culture, language, law and population are different. The difference in only this sexual crime rates becomes clear by a country's being different. Japanese researcher said “every year, the crime rate is decreasing gradually, but it's impossible that all sex crime disappears. It's because we don't know when and where sex crime has occurred. In where of a body it's at born time, an IC chip, we're embedded, and should be able to stop sex crime, an innocent person can't do such thing. The person is never supposed to do a crime as well as sex crime. Sex crime is done, and there is a person who benefits no one. Because everyone has a chance equally, the human isn't supposed to do to

Amesh A. Adalja, M.D., a board-certified infectious disease physician at the University of Pittsburgh and an affiliated scholar at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Center for Health Security, tells SELF that this expansion will make it nearly impossible for global HIV/AIDS providers to be able to inform their clients of all of their options. “If someone becomes pregnant when they’re HIV-positive, you need to be able to talk about what the options are,” he says. “When you inject something like the global gag rule into it, you’re automatically walling off certain avenues of discussion, and that makes it difficult to provide comprehensive care.”

More than 12 million Americans, 3 million of whom are teenagers, are affected with STDs each year. In 1995 STDs accounted for 87 percent of all cases reported among the top ten most frequently reported diseases in the United States. Since 1980, eight new sexually transmitted pathogens have been recognized in the United States. STDs may cause serious, life threatening complications including cancers, infertility, ectopic pregnancy, spontaneous abortions, still birth, low birth weight, neurological damage and death. The majority of STD cases are women and adolescents (Dickson, 2008). Reducing other STDs decreases the risk of HIV

My primary prevention topic is sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention in Clark County, Nevada also known as Las Vegas. My target population is between the ages of 15-24 and is not gender specific. My target population includes the over 2 million residents who live within the 80,61 miles of Clark County and the 39 million yearly visitors. (Nagourney, A. 2013) The demographics of the residents are noted by the United Sates Census Bureau (2015) as White alone 71.6%, Hispanic or Latin American 30.6%, Africana American 11.8%, Asian 10.1% Two or more races 4.4%, Native American, and Alaskan Native 1.2% Hawaiian and Pacific Islander 0.8%. Demographics are not available on visitors to Calrk County. In Clark County, owner-occupied housing

This paper examines five peer reviewed studies that report on results from research conducted about sexually transmitted diseases. The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between social disparities and sexually transmitted diseases in Dallas and Collin Counties. There are certain people who are predisposed to being at a greater risk for transmitting sexually transmitted diseases in the United States given their demographic and socioeconomic status. The studies have shown without access to health care, young men and women do not receive the necessary information or medical prevention devices they need for the prevention and/or transmission of such diseases. The data was descriptive comparative,

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are very common in today’s society. They represent a threat to humans because when they cannot be treated, they can become an epidemic, such as AIDS. Although STDs can affect people of all ages, young people – especially college students - between the ages of 19 and 25 are the most affected (American Social Health Association). There are three types of STDs: bacterial, viral and parasitic. In this essay, we will study one disease from each category by analyzing the causes, describe the symptoms and learn the treatments available. We will also investigate on whether or not there is a cure for the disease. Our research will concentrate on the following diseases: Chlamydia, hepatitis B and pubic

Sex is a popular subject; it is on television, in advertisements, in magazines, and practically everywhere. One very serious side effect of an increase of sexual activity is the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases. They affect more than twelve million Americans each year. Sexually transmitted diseases are becoming common and widely spread throughout Americans because of unprotected sex, permiscuity, and multiple sex partners. Some of the most commonly found sexually transmitted diseases are gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV/AIDS, and syphilis.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases are an intimate part of many people’s lives. These diseases, one could say, represent a conflict between human and nature. It is a part of nature that humans are inclined to engage in sexual activity . Yet, humans are endangering themselves with the spreading of these diseases. Also, a human oriented disease can take on a life of its own, so to speak, and even turn deadly when nature takes it course. Humans have created antibiotics and other drugs to cure the diseases and help with the symptoms of these diseases, but the complications that can arise from these diseases sometimes have no cure, and it is at this time that nature takes over. Sexually transmitted diseases are

Sex education is something that is often overlooked in educational institutions. For the developing student, they need to understand the importance and dangers of sex education. Shelby Knox, a native of Lubbock, Texas, realized that her high school was plagued with STD’s and accidental teenage pregnancies as a result of complete lack of sex education in her school. As chronicled in her documentary “The Education of Shelby Knox,” it follows her journey pushing for reform in her school system for sex education.
