Sexually Transmitted Disease
Jon Gammon
Syphilis can be a devastating disease, and it has made its
presence known in the STD world. At least 50,000 cases of
syphilis occur every year, and I believe I more go unreported and
untreated. Syphilis is a bacterial infection passed on through
sex that causes sores and rashes. If left untreated, it can cause
serious problems in the long run.
Chlamydia is the most common of all the STD's, and it often
produces no symptoms and one usually doesn't even know they have
it, until it is too late. When Chlamydia goes untreated, in males
it is nothing more that an irritation, but in Women, it can be
devastating. If the disease spreads into the reproduction
anatomy, it can cause PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease) which can
cause infertility or ectopic pregnancies (when the fertilized egg
develops in the fallopian tubes) this is very dangerous and if it
happens can rupture the tubes and cause serious damage even
death.
Crabs is a nasty infestation of Pubic Lice. The thing is, it is
really not a STD. The can be transmitted by all sorts of physical
contact. Crabs love hair, your scalp, underarms, chest, mustache,
and pubic and if you have hair, they will find it. The first
symptoms are a horrible itch, and with closer examination will
find pimple-like bumps or a red rash. When you closely examine
the hair, the sure sign way to notice if you have crabs are the
eggs attached to the pubic hair very close to the skin.
Gonorrhea is commonly referred to as the clap, is a bacterial
infection passed during sex. Symptoms appear in as little as 3
days, and cause a yellow discharge from the penis, painful
urination, and swelling of the penis head. In women can cause PID
and sterility, and worse than that, can cause blindness in babies
that are born with women infected by the disease.
Genital herpes was the sexual plague before the on-threat of the
AIDS virus. This is a highly contagious, incurable, sexually
transmitted virus that has infected millions of people, and
claims more victims each year. Symptoms are a tingling and
inching at the site of infection. Soon the infected area has
painful ulcerated sores that heal in about 3 weeks.
AIDS is the deadly disease of the 20th century. It is the number
one killer of people ages 25-44, 80% of all AIDS victims are men,
and it has claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of lives
each year. AIDS attacks the bodies’ immune system, making the
body to more likely develop other diseases like pneumonia,
tuberculosis, and even some rare cancers like Karposi's Sarcoma.
