STD / STI

Syphilis


Chlamydia


Gonorrhea


HSV (Herpes Simplex Virus)


HPV (Human Papillomavirus)

Sexually Transmitted Diseases


Sexually Transmitted Infections

Syphilis

Bacterial infection commonly spread by sexual contact & during pregnancy can cross the placenta which can harm or kill the baby.

syphilis symptoms

syphilis screening during pregnancy

︎if allergic to penicillin, 1st assess 2nd penicillin desensitization by giving it in a slow gradual manner which allows the patient to slowly tolerate it without a massive reaction


Do the screen because this infection can cross placenta & harm the baby


Side note: Doxycycline & Tetracycline which can be harmful during pregnancy

Chlamydia

Chlamydia is the most common STD affecting people of all ages, but it most common in young women & those with multiple sex partners.


it commonly goes untreated due to the lack of symptoms & leads to infertility issues


other signs: dysuria, spotting after sex, abnormal vaginal discharge

Gonorrhea

a Sexually Transmitted bacterial infection if untreated can also cause infertility, it's asymptomatic & often goes untreated for this reason therefore annual screening is highly recommended for all Sexually active females

HSV

HSV Signs ...

- signs have periods of remission & outbreak (active)


- PRIORITY to report to HCP during pregnancy since this virus is very deadly to fetus causing permanent neurological damage & if peresnt at the onset of labor then an immediate c-section is PRIORITY to avoid infection to infant with that vaginal birth


- start acyclovir immediately specially for clients who are close to their delivery


- after the outbreak resolves with no active Lesions, condoms are recommended


- Mild soap & warm water to provide relief to itching


- it's OK to use a fan or a dryer on cool setting to dry Lesions

acyclovir

HPV

vaginal birth

Rubella (German measles):


maternity infection during first 8 weeks of gestation = fetal infection


Syphilis cross placenta


Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, HPV


vaginal birth = infection of infant


genital herpes simplex


vaginal birth may be acceptable


cesarean if visible leasion


HIV exposure to secretions during birth & via breast milk

کاهش ریسک انتقال HIV به جنین با تزریق پریناتال Zidovudine


vaginal birth is possible if viral load is less than 1000 copies/ml درغیراینصورت cesarean


pregnancy itself suppresses immune system


pregnancy + HIV = life threatening infections


Zidovudine


antepartum: orally after 12 weeks of gestation intrapartum: IV during labor


1 hour before vaginal birth


3 hours before cesarean postpartum: syrup to newborn


2 hours after birth


every 12 hours for 6 weeks


HIV diagnosis


1st : ELISA


if reactive → repeat ELISA with same blood sample → if reactive → western blot or IFA → if positive → HIV confirmed


if ELISA is positive/reactive → but western blot/IFA is negative → HIV is NOT considered negative → repeat in 3-6 months


HIV interventions :


1. Prenatal: avoid Amniocentesis & fetal scalp sampling


2. Intrapartum: avoid internal scalp electrodes for monitoring & avoid episiotomy & avoid oxytocin (because contractions induced by oxytocin can be strong, causing vaginal tears or necessitating an episiotomy) & minimize neonate exposure to maternal blood or body fluids & promptly remove neonate from blood & Suction fluids promptly & Place heavy absorbent pads under the mother's hips to absorb amniotic fluid & maternal blood


3. Postpartum: put mother in protective isolation ایزوله معکوس & restrict breast feeding & newborn can room with mother or may place in NICU for first 24 hours


AIDS

Acquired ImmunoDeficiency Syndrome


a viral disease caused by HIV, which destroys T-cells & has a long incubation period (10 years or longer)


Three-drug combination HAART (highly active antiretroviral therapy) is recommended to reduce MTCT (mother-to-child transmission).


Zidovudine for prevention of MTCT


a. Antepartum:


Orally beginning after 12 weeks of gestation, to reduce the viral load to undetectable.


b. Intrapartum:


Intravenously during labor


1 hour before vaginal birth


3 hours before cesarean


if the HIV RNA is greater than or equal to 400 copies/mL or unknown. this may not be required if the HIV RNA is less than 400 copies/mL but is given at the discretion of the provider. A vaginal birth is acceptable if the viral load is less than 1000 copies/mL; otherwise, a cesarean section is recommended


c. Postpartum:


syrup for newborn


2 hours after birth & every


12 hours for 6 weeks


the newborn may be placed in NICU to begin initial therapy.


▪︎Transmission1. Sexual exposure to genital secretions of an infected person


2. Parenteral exposure to infected blood & tissue


3. Perinatal exposure of an infant to infected maternal secretions via birth or breast-feeding

▪︎High-risk groups:


- heterosexual / homosexual contact with high risk individuals


- IV drug abusers- receiving blood products


- Health care workers


- Babies born to infected mothers


▪︎Assessment :


- influenza-like symptoms


- Lymphadenopathy for at least 3 months


- Leukopenia


- night sweats (also in TB, Hodgkins, sarcoidosis)


- opportunistic cancer (kaposi's sarcoma, cervical cancer, B-cell non-Hodgkin's sarcoma)


- infections:


bacterial


fungal: candidiasis


viral: cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex


protozoal: PJP


Interventions:


- protective isolation precautions (A mother with HIV is managed as high risk because she is vulnerable to infections.)


- Standard & necessary precautions


- meticulous skin care


- nutritional support as prescribed

Kaposi's sarcoma

a slow growing tumor that appears as purplish-red lesions of internal organs & skin in individuals with compromised immune system
