STI Transmission: Lesion-borne
shedding of microbes from lesions on or near tissues associated with sexual activity
STI Transmission: Fluid-Borne
shedding of microbes from body fluids associated with sexual activity
Concentration of microbes in body fluids of infected person:
Blood, mensus, semen = high
Mucus of vagina, cervis, urethra, anus = Moderate
saliva, Cowper's secretion = Low
Tears, sweat, urine, feces = non infectious
Fluid-based STI transmission rate
high for gonorrhea, chlamydia, low for HIV and hep B
Lesion-based STI transmission rate
Moderate for HSV, HPV, syphillis
Infected males transmit fluid-based STIs at a ______ rate to both male or female partner than infected feamles transmit to their partners
higher
Transmission to fetus/infant
across plaventa, during vaginal birth, during nursing
Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) transmission:
lesion-borne, transmitted via coitus, fellatio, cunnilingus, anal stimulation, kissing or skin contact w/lesion
HSV Early symptoms:
painful blisters, highly infectious fluids usually on penis, labia, vagina, anus, cervis, mouth. Viral infection-fever, weakness, headache, muscle soreness, painful urination.
HSV Later symptoms:
blisters heal, virus goes into state of dormancy (lives in nerve endings at base of spine or brain), transmission can occur when no obvious symptoms apparent.
Long term health implications of untreated HSV:
no substantial health risk, "nuisance disease", primary infection during pregnancy - 50% transmit to infant during vaginal birth, reactivation during pregnancy - 5% transmission during vaginal birth. Eye infection, corneal damage, blindness. No cure.
Syphillis: Transmission
lesion-borne, any contact with chancre, blood-borne, fluids from second stage rash highly infectious.
Syphillis First stage symptoms:
development of chancre (ulcer-like painless sore with highly infectious fluids) at site of contact with bacteria (usually genitals), cancre heals, disappears, microbe remains present and begins to attack other areas of body.
Syphillis second stage symptoms:
Rash (moist, painless, filled with infectious fluids) often on palms and soles of feet, nasea, fever, aches in joints, muscles, disease moves into latent then terminal phase, if untreated infecte person is most highly infections during first 2-4 years after being infected.
Syphillis long term health implications if disease is untreated for 15-30 years post infection
blindness, neurological disorders, paralysis, dementia, heart and lunch disease, death
Chlamydia transmission:
fluid borne, transmitted via coitus, anal intercourse, fellatio, contact with infected mucous membrane, depositing infected body secretion on mocous membrane of recipient
Chlamydia male symptoms:
thin whitish discharge, very similar to early gonorrheal symptoms, some irritation with urination, sometimes a silent disease, no obvious symptoms in 40% of males
Chlamydia female symptoms:
typically silent disease, no symptoms in 85% of females, thick yellow mucus, inflammation of cervix.
Gonorrhea transmission
fluid-borne, transmitted via coitus, anal sex, fallatio, cunnilingus
Gonorrhea male symptoms
early - whitish, yellowish discharge from penish, urethritis, painful urination. Later - inflammation of prostate, bladder, seminal vesicles, epididymis, causing fever, pain in the pelvis
Gonorrhea female symptoms:
early - 20% note vaginal inflammation, discharge, 50% fail to identify any symptoms. later - PID (fever, abdominal pain, painful intercourse)
Viral Hepatitis transmission
Fluid-borne, type B (serum) - infects blood, semen, vaginal and cervical fluides - sexual transmission is most common, contact with blood or blood contaminated devices. Type C - 20% sexually transmitted, 80% through blood. Type A - virus infects feces, transmission vector; most commonly spread through food contamination; sexual contact will transmit.
Viral Hepatitis symptoms
early - fatigue, fever, loss of appetite. later - jaundice, liver inflammation
Longer term Viral Hepatitis health implcations
liver cancer, cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis, carrier status, death
Trichomonaisis transmission
fluid-borne, invading protozoan parasite, transmitted primarily via coitus
Trichomonaisis symptoms in women
50% frothy, watery, smelly discharge, inflamed labia and vagina, painful intercourse, 50% asymptomatic
Trichomonaisis symptoms in men
50% milk urethritis, 50% asymptomatic (men are carriers and will re-infect partners)
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) transmission
fluid-borne, sexual transmission, blood transmission.
