lifelong infection with HSV
STD Trends
GC at an all time low
Chlmydia remains the most commonly reported (bacterial) infectious disease up %5 from last yr.
syphillis up 19%-big coinfection with HIV
65 million living with virial STD
<50% of providers rountinely screen for STDS
Prevelence of the problem
HPV and HSV tend to be silent- ie subclinical
est. that up to 75% of college woman are infected with HPV and up to 50% with HSV

2-10D
most cases subclinical
shedding decreases after 3-5yrs
HERPES
Assessment
asymptomatic
primary: multiple lesions, +/- lymphadenopathy and systemic sx
recurrent: fewer lesions and shorter duration
HERPES
DIAGNOSIS
culture-usually need new lesion
serologic test available(3 mo after primary outbreak)need to differeniate HSV 1&2
HERPES
TREATMENT
NO CURE
antivirials: acyclovir, famciclover and valacyclovir help delay symptoms and heal and feel better quicker
PRIMARY HERPES, FEMALE
RISK IN PREG IS WITH PRIMARY OUTBREAK. IF INFANT EXPOSED AND GETS VIRUS IT INCREASED MORTALITY AND THOSE WHO LIVE HAVE NEURO DAMAMGE
GOAL IS < FREQ AND < SEVERE OF SX
CONDYLOMA ACUMINATA
GENETIAL WARTs
Assessment-usually withour other sx
DX Physical Exam or colposcopy for cervical lesions
TX: podophyllin (not with preg)
TCA-burns them off
imiquimod
liuid nitrogen
laser
Genital wart female
only 60-80% response with 30-40% recurrence
complications
-1/2 of sexually active womaen have HPV virus
HPV 6&11 cause warts. 16,18,31,33,35 cause cervical dysplasia, often infected with more than one type
vaccine available
HPV vaccine
for high risk HPV-esp 16 and 18
studies show efficacy at 100% after 17mo
will not prevent currently developing CA will take 10-20yr to show effect
GONORRHEA
s/s
Incubation 1-14D

Gonorrhea
diagnosis
PCR urine or swab, culture by swab, also rectal or throat. can occur anywhere sex occurs ie mouth, anus
Gonococcal cervicitis
treatment
floxin 400mg once or phocephin 125mg IM
resistence to floxin is usually with males so use rhocephin
Gonococcal cervicitis
complicaitons
PID with resulting infertility and or chronic pelvic pain
rare systemic sepsis
what type of infections are gonarrhea dn chylmdia?
Cervical infections in woman that can ascend upward and urethral in men and generally don't ascend
CHLAMYDIA

only time ovre use of ABX accepted
CHLAMYDIA
Complications
silent PID with resulting infertility
Syphilis
causitive agent
incubations period
treponema pallidum
9-90D
rare but increasing co-infection with HIV
Primary syphilis-
chancre
primary stage
chancre-painless indurated ucler at site of infection
Syphilis Secondary
skin rash, mucus patches, condylomata lata (flat lesions on mouth and/or palms, very infectious
OCCURS ANYTIME AFTER 3 MONTHS
lATE SYPHILIS
LATENT STAGE-no clincial sx, can last 6mo or 20yrs
TERIARY- may affect the heart, CNS, skin (gumma-nasty lesion)bones
Syphilis
dx and rx
dx- serological test. treponemal test-usually remain + even after tx
Nontreponemal tests- 3mo to be +, four fold change in titer indicates active disease, usually returns to normal
RX- depends on stage and duration
primary, secondary and early latent-benzathine PCN 2.4 mil u IMx1
