|
|
|
transmission time-lines
|
-delay between time of exposure to appearance of symptoms
-delay between exposure and being infectious |
|
|
human papilloma virus (HPV)
|
-lesion borne transmission
16, 18 most cancer borne 6, 11: wart-type infection -the absence of warts does not mean the absence of HPV -leads to cervical cancer |

|
herpes blister, cold sore
|
-fluid filled vesicles
-contact will spread infection |
|
|
gonorrhea
|
-fluid borne transmission
-gonococcus bacterium -symptoms evident w/in couple weeks male symptoms -whitish, yellowish discharge, painful urination female symptoms -vaginal inflammation, discharge long term -can lead to infertility -treatable |
|
|
primary infection
|
-painful blisters with infectious fluids

|
|
viral hepatitis
|
-transmission fluid borne
-type A, B, C symptoms -early: fatigue, fever, loss of appetite -later: jaundice, liver inflammation -can lead to liver cancer, cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis -disease runs its course, cured by immune system -vaccinations available |
|
|
Hep B, C (serum)
|
infects blood, semen, vaginal, cervical fluids
