Symptoms

Treatment
HIV/AIDS
Symptoms:
Early symptoms of HIV can include:
• fever
• chills
• swollen lymph nodes
• general aches and pains
• skin rash
• sore throat
• headache
• nausea
Treatment:
No cure exists for HIV/AIDS, but antiretroviral regimens (ARVs) can dramatically slow the disease's progress as well as prevent secondary infections and complications.
Cause:
The virus is transmitted in bodily fluids that include:
• blood
• semen
• vaginal and rectal fluids
• breast milk
Some of the ways HIV is spread from person to person include:
• through vaginal or anal sex — the most common route of transmission, especially among men who have sex with men
• during pregnancy, labor, or delivery from a woman to her baby
Syphilis
Cause:
HPV is a virus that is passed skin-to-skin through sexual intercourse or other forms of skin-to-skin contact of the genitals.
Symptoms:
HPV may not cause symptoms at once, but they can appear years later.
Some types can lead to warts, while others can cause cancer.
Treatment:
There's no cure for the virus and warts may go away on their own.
Treatment focuses on removing the warts.
A vaccine that prevents the HPV strains most likely to cause genital warts and cervical cancer is recommended for boys and girls.
HPV
Symptoms:
The first stage involves a painless sore on the genitals, rectum or mouth.
After the initial sore heals, the second stage is characterized by a rash.
Then, there are no symptoms until the final stage which may occur years later.
This final stage can result in damage to the brain, nerves, eyes or heart.
Treatment:
Syphilis is treated with penicillin. Sexual partners should also be treated.
Cause:
Syphilis is caused by a spirochete (a spiral-shaped bacteria) called Treponema pallidum. You can get the bacteria by:
• direct contact with a syphilis sore (usually found on the vagina, anus, rectum, in the mouth, or on the lips)
• during vaginal, anal, or oral sex with an infected person
• an infected mother can pass syphilis to her unborn child, which can result in serious complications or even death of the unborn child
Genital Herpes
Symptoms:
pain or burning while peeing
pain during sex
lower belly pain
abnormal vaginal discharge (may be yellowish and have a strong smell)
bleeding between periods
pus or a watery/milky discharge from the penis
swollen or tender testicles
pain, discharge and/or bleeding
