1. THE BASICS

2. Transmission

3. STD Means . . .

4. Modes of STD Transmission:
Unprotected Oral Sex
Unprotected Vaginal Sex
Unprotected Anal Sex
Mother to Child
Sharing Needles
Note to Nora- “Mother to Child” language is consistent with HIV/AIDS powerpoint and is also more accurate since two of the three modes of transmission is happening post partum where the child is no longer a fetus.
Your note about yellow on yellow- done with hyperlink. I added shadow but can’t seem to change font color.
All modes presume infected partner.

5. How common are STDs?
1 in 4 young women (between the ages of 14-19) in the U.S. is infected with an STD. [1]
More than half of all people will have an STD at some point of their lifetime.[2]
Education and awareness is key in reducing transmission of STDs.

12. STD Prevention
When it comes to STD prevention- nothing protects more than not having sexual contact with others, called abstinence.
Abstinence is the most effective way to not get or give an STD. 12

13. STD Prevention
When people decide to have oral, anal or vaginal sex, they should:
always use a latex condom or dental dam barrier
be monogamous (sexually exclusive) with a non-infected partner
get tested and if they have an STD, get treated 13

14. STD Testing Testing for STDs is typically done in one of 4 ways:
Physical exam by a healthcare provider
Blood test
Urine test
Urethral, cervical or mouth swab

15. STD Treatment Curable STDs Non-Curable STDs
Bacterial infections like Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Trichomoniasis, and Syphilis can be treated with antibiotics.
Parasitic infections like public lice and scabies can be treated with over the counter medication.
Viral infections- herpes, human papilllomavirus (HPV), HIV and Hepatitis B are not curable.
Medications are available to help with symptoms.
Vaccinations are available for Hepatitis B and certain types of HPV.

16. Don’t forget…
You can’t tell by looking at a person if they are infected or not.
Someone can have an STD and not know it.
Medical testing is the only way to know for sure if you or a partner have an STD.
Testing can be done confidentially. 16
