Sexually Transmitted Disease Research Papers

On the other hand, the causes of STD’s are probably growing by the numbers. Almost 1 million people die of AIDs/HIV each year. Due to recent history of STD’s the sickness was only in one part of the

The challenges that this population faces are directly related to psychosocial, physiological, economic and behavioral factors. Challenges such as these can cause serious obstacles for the prevention of STDs due to their influence on access to care, willingness to seek treatment, and social behaviors regarding sexuality. Often older adults are looked at as

    What are Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD's)? How much do you know about STD's? Do you know how to protect yourself from STD's? The answer to these questions is that most people don't know, and if they do, it's very little. Sex has become a big issue in the 90's. Wherever a person looks, sex is advertised. What do you see when you turn on the television, daytime or night? Sex. What do you see when you go to the movies? Sex. In magazines? Sex. Even advertisements in the street revolve around sex. The one thing that is not emphasized is the dangers of sex. The danger of contracting a sexually transmitted disease. I'm sure that people know that AIDS is the most dangerous STD right now, but there are

Over one million cases of Chlamydia were reported to the CDC in 2013. Despite this large number of reports it actually was a decrease by 1.5% since 2012 (CDC, 2014). Epidemiology statistics showed an increase in reported syphilis, including congenital. Other sexually transmitted diseases can pose higher risks for acquiring HIV. According to new studies, HIV is growing faster in populations that are over 50 versus 40 years and younger (BenRose, 2014). Factors may play a role in this such as higher divorce rates, new medications, and safe sex measures. Therefore, it is important for the healthcare provider screen for sexual activity and any change in sexual partners to provide routine testing when necessary and education on preventive

Wysocki, 2015 estimated that half of all people in the United States will have contracted a sexually transmitted disease in their lifetime. Numerous young women under age 25 haven’t been screened and are asymptotic. Infections impact individuals of all economic levels and backgrounds. Three sexually transmitted diseases are required to be reported by physicians to public health officials. These three are syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia. African American and Latinos have barriers which increase rates of sexually transmitted diseases (Sutton, 2012).

Chlamydia is a very small microorganism that affects the lining of mucous membranes of the genitals, mouth, anus and rectum. Chlamydia is one of the most common known STD here in the United States, in fact almost 3 million people a year are affected, both men and women. Leaving Chlamydia untreated can cause long term affects and permanent damages. In women it can cause for her to be infertile, and it men can cause his sperm count to be lower and reduce the chances of reproducing. Each year around 100,000 women are infertile from pelvic inflammatory disease. You can attract Chlamydia by having sexual intercourse with someone that has it rather its vaginal, anal or oral sex. There is one way to reduce a sexual transmitted diseases such as Chlamydia, is to have absolutely no sexual intercourse at all.

A sexually transmitted infect, STI, is transmitted through sexual contact, viruses, parasites, and/or bacteria. Studies show that 120 percent of the people in the United States have an STD. 50 percent of sexually active youth will contract an STD when they are 25 years old and 320 percent of high school girls already have the infection. (3) Although HIV is the least common case, in 2013, an estimated 47,165 people in the United States were diagnosed with HIV. About 1 in 6 people do not know they are infected. (2) These studies and values are shocking and concerning. Since STIs have such significant negative health consequences I believe that there should be legal discipline and you should be able to sue someone for spreading the disease if

According to the Center Transmitted Disease-CDC, STDs have huge increased between 2010-2014 among baby boomers; especially with erectile dysfunction and hormone replacement for women. Therefore; the estimating cases are as following: chlamydia fifty- two percent, syphilis sixty-five percent, and gonorrhea ninety percent. STDs have been increased like a wildfire among baby boomers and became a major health problem. There are several factors contributes for this problem. First of all, clearly for women post- menopause health changes and no worries to prevent pregnancy has been increased unprotect sexual activities by decreased the use of condoms. During the 1980s, STDs education for safe sex has had the focus on adolescents. Therefore, condoms were not part of the baby boomers reality. Second of all, medication such as Viagra and Cialis became reality and gave the opportunity for a normal sex life after 50’s and 60’s. Therefore, erection dysfunction medications have corrected the problem and allowed men to

Just like Brave New World, the 1960’s were a time of free love and living life to the fullest. With the openness to sex without consequences, sexually transmitted diseases began to spread rapidly. “From 1964 through 1968, the rates of syphilis and gonorrhea in California rose 165 percent” (Alexander, 2007) and that’s just in California alone. In this time, American society

This shows that this is important for the public health system to represent diseases to direct relation to different groups of people who are particularly vulnerable. The public health system has a political obligation to represent sex related diseases in a way that the gay community can engage and understand how they can prevent themselves from contracting these

The more frequent occurrence of STDs in the younger generations are also based upon the multiple barriers in retrieving the benefits in STD prevention services which includes the lack of health insurance or inability to pay, no transportation, embarrassment of the services in the facilities, and worries of discretion. (STDs) According to the US Department of Health and Human Service, twenty five percent of sexually active adolescents have already obtained an STD. (Parillo) The severity of the issue is approached with the control strategies and educational strategies. In which these educational strategies are more effective when it involves a big health educational program that is provided to our minors. The young populations that are particularly affected by STDs are the young women with a low income for it is easier for a female to receive an STD compared to men. And with those women having a low income, they are not able to access the services that are being provided to them. Today, four in ten sexually active adolescent girls have obtained an STD that can cause infertility and death; also two thirds of adolescent boys have HIV diagnoses.

Unlike older populations, college women are more likely to put off seeking care for STDs. This interval of prolonged care avoidance is mainly a result of the heightened sense of sexually transmitted disease associated stigma that is directed towards undergraduate women (Fortenberry, 420). Female students have increased fear regarding testing due to the bubble-like social setting that university campuses often create. One undergraduate woman discussed the source of her own fear and refusal towards testing, stating that "you don't want to tell people you are getting tested. I mean, it's that telephone effect.” Another female student had a similar sentiment and expressed how easily and quickly rumors could spread through college campuses (Barth

Venereal disease can be one of many sexually transmitted diseases out there today. I have been hearing about this disease, but I really do not know that it involve diseases such as syphilis, gonorrhea, herpes, and so on, until I read the material and articles for this paper. I just understand gonorrhea and syphilis, for example, to be diseases that one could get through exposure to bodily fluid from the body, and often occurs through sexual intercourse. The word venereal disease was used until in the 90’s, when medical personnel changed it to a preferable term known as sexually transmitted disease, STDs. In this paper, I will be writing about the seriousness of the health threat to the country during World War I, the folks who were labeled

Sexually transmitted diseases are a type of disease that can be passed from person to person by many forms of sexual contact. These different forms of contact can be oral, anal, or vaginal. STDs are seen in different forms such as bumps, rashes, or unseen to the naked eye. Some common STDs are chlamydia, herpes, syphilis, and HIV/AIDS. A person of any gender, race, or age can get an STD but there is different stigma attached to that person depending on their gender. Gender influences people to view the STD and that person who has it differently. This paper is set out to find why gender affects people’s views of STDs and how moral panic can set in depending on the STD.
