The first symptom is a painless, round, red sore that appears 10-90 days after infection anywhere you have had sex. Many people have syphilis and do not know they have it and can pass it on to other partners without knowing it. Syphilis is easy to treat and cure.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2.How do you get Syphilis?<\/strong><\/p>\n You can get syphilis by having sex with someone who has it, this means having oral, anal or vaginal contact. You can get syphilis when your mouth, genitals, or another part of your body touches a syphilis sore (called a chancre) on a person who has the disease. If you are pregnant you can pass the disease on to your baby.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3.How soon will symptoms appear?<\/strong><\/p>\n The average time between infection and the start of the first symptom is 21 days, but this can range from 10 to 90 days.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4.<\/strong>What are the symptoms?<\/strong><\/p>\n During the primary stage you may have one or more painless sores on the genitals or in the mouth. This sore lasts for 3 to 6 weeks and heals on its own. If you do not get treatment it will progress to the next stage. During the secondary stage you might have a red or brown non itchy rash on your hands and feet, or other parts of your body. Other symptoms may include fever, sore throat, muscle aches, headaches, hair loss, swollen glands and feeling tired. These symptoms will go away on their own and if not treated will progress to the latent stage. In this stage you have no symptoms and the disease can remain hidden for many years. The tertiary phase is the final stage and is extremely serious. Symptoms of this stage may involve difficulty moving your limbs, paralysis, numbness, blindness, and heart disease.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 5.Testing and treatment. <\/strong><\/p>\n You can get a blood test to determine if you have the disease. You should be tested immediately if you have any symptoms, if your partner has syphilis or symptoms, or if you are pregnant. Syphilis is treated with shots of the antibiotic penicillin.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 6.How can I reduce my risk of getting Syphilis?<\/strong><\/p>\n The best way to prevent syphilis is not to have sex, or to only have sex with someone who is not infected and who only has sex with you. Avoid sex with anyone if you see an unusual sore. Condoms can reduce your risk of getting the disease if used correctly and every time but a condom only protects the area it covers. Getting a blood test once a year is recommended as you may have syphilis and not know it.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Gonorrhea” tab_id=”1516819540186-b9ce80ae-423a0825-daeb”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]1.What is it?<\/strong><\/p>\n Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium called Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It affects the reproductive tract, and can also affect the mucous membranes of the mouth, throat, eyes, and rectum. The infection is transmitted through sexual contact with an infected person involving the penis, vagina, anus, or mouth. It is a very common infection, especially among young people aged 15-24 years.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2.How do you get Gonorrhea?<\/strong><\/p>\n You can get gonorrhea by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has gonorrhea. A\u00a0pregnant woman with gonorrhea can give the infection to her baby during childbirth.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3.How soon will symptoms appear?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The time\u00a0from exposure to the bacteria until symptoms develop, is usually 2 to 5 days. On some occasions symptoms may not develop for up to 30 days.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4.What are the symptoms?<\/strong><\/p>\n Some men and women with gonorrhea may have no symptoms at all. Symptoms in men can include: a burning sensation when urinating; a white, yellow, or green discharge from the penis; painful or swollen testicles (although this is less common). Symptoms in women can include: a painful or burning sensation when urinating; increased vaginal discharge; vaginal bleeding between periods. Rectal infections may either cause no symptoms or cause symptoms in both men and women that may include: discharge; anal itching; soreness; bleeding; painful bowel movements.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 5.Testing and treatment.<\/strong><\/p>\n Most of the time urine can be used to test for gonorrhea. However, if you have had oral and\/or anal sex, swabs may be used to collect samples from your throat and\/or rectum. In some cases a swab may be used to collect a sample from the urethra or cervix. Gonorrhea is usually treated using dual therapy which means 2 different antibiotics are administered.<\/p>\n 6.How can I reduce my risk of getting Gonorrhea? <\/strong><\/p>\n If you are sexually active you can do the following things to lower your chances of getting gonorrhea:<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Genital Herpes” tab_id=”1516819540208-96688566-38630825-daeb”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]1.What is it?<\/strong><\/p>\n Herpes is an STI caused by two types of viruses. The viruses are called herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1 or oral herpes) and herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2 or genital herpes). This virus affects the external genitalia, anal region, mucosal surfaces, and skin in other parts of the body. Herpes sores usually appear as one or more blisters on or around the genitals, rectum or mouth.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2.How do you get Herpes?<\/strong><\/p>\n You can get genital herpes by having unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has the disease. You can also become infected by sharing sex toys or having genital contact with an infected person. You can get infected if you come into contact with the herpes virus in saliva too if your partner has an oral herpes infection.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3.<\/strong>How soon will symptoms appear?<\/strong><\/p>\n Most people do not experience symptoms for months or years after becoming infected. Those who do have symptoms during the initial period will usually notice them about 4 days after exposure (the average range is 2-12 days).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4.<\/strong>What are the symptoms?<\/strong><\/p>\n Most people who have herpes have no symptoms, or have very mild symptoms. Herpes sores usually appear as one or more blisters on or around the genitals, rectum or mouth. The blisters break and leave painful sores that may take a week or more to heal. The symptoms can be quite severe during the initial outbreak and may include: blisters and ulceration on external genitalia, in the vagina, or on the cervix; vaginal discharge; pain and itching; tender, enlarged lymph nodes; pain when urinating; high temperature; malaise (feeling unwell); cold sores around the mouth; red blisters on the skin. People who experience an initial outbreak of herpes can have repeated outbreaks, especially if they are infected with genital herpes. Repeat outbreaks are usually shorter and less severe than the first outbreak. Although the infection stays in the body for the rest of your life, the number of outbreaks and severity of symptoms may decrease over time.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 5.<\/strong>Testing and treatment.<\/strong><\/p>\n Your healthcare provider may diagnose herpes by simply looking at your symptoms. Providers can also take a sample from the sore(s) and test it. In certain situations, a blood test may be used to look for herpes antibodies. There is no cure for herpes. However, there are medicines that can prevent or shorten outbreaks. One of these anti-herpes medicines can be taken daily, and makes it less likely that you will pass the infection on to your sex partner(s).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 6.How do I reduce my risk of getting Herpes?<\/strong><\/p>\n You can reduce the risk by being in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with a partner who is not infected. Using latex condoms correctly every time you have sex will also reduce the risk. Be aware that not all herpes sores occur in areas that are covered by a latex condom. Also, the herpes virus can be shed from areas of the skin that do not have a visible herpes sore. For these reasons, condoms may not\u00a0fully protect you from getting herpes.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Genital Warts” tab_id=”1516819540228-f8d1f21a-77600825-daeb”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]1.

Is it curable?<\/strong> Pubic lice, also known as crabs, are small parasites that attach to the skin and hair near your genitals. Crabs are not dangerous, and they are usually pretty easy to get rid of<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2.How do I get Pubic Lice?<\/strong><\/p>\n They’re usually spread through close bodily contact with an infected person. The lice crawl from hair to hair, but can’t fly or jump. They need human blood to survive, so will only leave the body to move from one person to another. The most common way pubic lice are spread is through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal and oral sex. Other types of close bodily\u00a0contact, such as hugging\u00a0and kissing,\u00a0can also spread the lice. It’s also possible, though much rarer, for pubic lice to be spread through sharing clothes, towels\u00a0and bedding.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3.How soon will symptoms appear?<\/strong><\/p>\n The eggs usually hatch in 7 days and adult lice live for about 30 days. It may take up to 1 month for symptoms to develop, as the person develops an allergic reaction to the saliva injected by the louse when biting.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4.<\/strong>What are the symptoms?<\/strong><\/p>\n Symptoms can include: itching in the affected areas, especially at night; inflammation and irritation caused by scratching; black powder in your underwear; blue spots or small spots of blood on your skin, such as on your thighs or lower abdomen (caused by lice bites). Itching\u00a0is the most common symptom of pubic lice and is an allergic reaction\u00a0to their saliva. The itching\u00a0is usually worse at night because that’s when the lice are most active.<\/p>\n 5. Testing and treatment. <\/strong><\/p>\n You or your doctor can usually confirm apubic lice\u00a0infestation through a visual examination of your pubic area. The presence of moving lice\u00a0confirms infestation.\u00a0Lice eggs also may indicate an infestation. Insecticidal creams and lotions may be obtained from pharmacies. They should be used strictly according to directions and treatment repeated after a week to kill any lice which may have hatched since the first treatment.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 6.How do I reduce the chances of getting Pubic Lice?<\/strong><\/p>\n To prevent a pubic lice\u00a0infestation, avoid having sexual contact or sharing bedding or clothing with anyone who has an infestation. If you are being treated for pubic lice, all sexual partners must also be treated.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Chlamydia” tab_id=”1566961518384-84ab52a8-ca3b”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]1.What is it?<\/strong><\/p>\n Chlamydia is a bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. It is a very common sexually transmitted infection, especially among young people aged 15-24 years. Chlamydia is spread through vaginal, anal, and oral sex. Chlamydia is easily treated and most people who have it do not show any symptoms.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2.How do you get Chlamydia?<\/strong><\/p>\n Chlamydia is usually spread during sexual contact with someone who has the infection. The main ways people get chlamydia are from having\u00a0vaginal sex\u00a0and\u00a0anal sex, but it can also be spread through\u00a0oral sex. Rarely, you can get chlamydia by touching your eye if you have infected fluids on your hand. Chlamydia can also be spread to a baby during birth if the mother has it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3.How soon will symptoms appear?<\/strong><\/p>\n This can be quite variable and may range from days to months after the initial exposure. The average time\u00a0from exposure to the development of symptoms is usually about one to three weeks after sexual contact with an infected person.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4.What are the symptoms?<\/strong><\/p>\n Most people who have chlamydia have no symptoms. Even when chlamydia causes no symptoms, it can damage your reproductive system. The symptoms in women can include: an abnormal vaginal discharge; a burning sensation when urinating. Symptoms in men can include: a discharge from their penis; a burning sensation when urinating; pain and swelling in one or both testicles (although this is less common). Men and women can also get infected with Chlamydia in their rectum. Symptoms can include: rectal pain; discharge; bleeding.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 5.Testing and treatment.<\/strong><\/p>\n Laboratory tests can diagnose Chlamydia. Your health care provider may ask you to provide a urine sample or may use a cotton swab to get a sample from your urethra or rectum to test for Chlamydia. If you have Chlamydia your doctor will\u00a0prescribe oral antibiotics. Your doctor will\u00a0also recommend your partner(s) be treated\u00a0to prevent reinfection and further spread of the disease. With treatment the infection should clear up in about a week or two.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 6.How do I reduce the chances of getting Chlamydia?<\/strong><\/p>\n Chlamydia is spread through sexual fluids like semen, pre-cum, and vaginal fluids. Using condoms and dental dams will significantly lower the risk of getting infected. Getting tested regularly is also important as you may have no symptoms.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Hepatitis A” tab_id=”1516885695252-8deaa338-6862″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]1.What is it?<\/strong><\/p>\n Hepatitis\u00a0A is a viral liver disease that can cause mild to severe illness. The\u00a0Hepatitis\u00a0A virus (HAV) is transmitted through ingestion of contaminated food and water or through direct contact with an infectious person. Almost everyone recovers fully from\u00a0Hepatitis A with a lifelong immunity.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2.How do you get Hepatitis A?<\/strong><\/p>\n People usually get\u00a0Hepatitis\u00a0A by having close contact with a person who is infected, from food or drinks prepared by someone who is infected, or by eating shellfish harvested from sewage-contaminated water. People more likely to get Hepatitis A are those who: travel to developing countries; have unprotected sex with an infected person; are men who have sex with men; live with or care for someone who has Hepatitis A.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3.How soon will symptoms appear?<\/strong><\/p>\n The symptoms of Hepatitis\u00a0A usually appear in approximately 28 days, but this ranges from 15-50 days.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4.What are the symptoms?<\/strong><\/p>\n Hepatitis A signs and symptoms can include: fatigue; sudden nausea and vomiting; abdominal pain or discomfort; clay coloured bowel movements; loss of appetite; low grade fever; dark urine; joint pain; yellowing of the skin and the whites of your eyes (jaundice); intense itching. These symptoms may be relatively mild and go away in a few weeks. Sometimes, however, Hepatitis A infection results in a severe illness that lasts several months.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 5.<\/strong>Testing and treatment. <\/strong><\/p>\n Blood tests are used to look for signs of the Hepatitis A virus in your body. A sample of blood is taken then sent to a laboratory for testing. No specific treatment exists for Hepatitis A and your body will clear the virus on its own. In most cases of Hepatitis A, the liver heals within six months with no lasting damage.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 6.How can I reduce my risk of getting Hepatitis A?<\/strong><\/p>\n Vaccines are available to protect against Hepatitis A infection. To reduce your risk of catching the Hepatitis A virus: always wash your hands thoroughly after using the restroom and when you come in contact with an infected person’s blood, stools, or other bodily fluid; avoid unclean food and water; use condoms with sexual partners.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Hepatitis B” tab_id=”1566892045953-21f16a96-b058″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]1.What is it?<\/strong><\/p>\n Hepatitis B is an infection of your liver. It can cause scarring of the organ, liver failure, and cancer. It can be fatal if it isn’t treated. It’s spread when people come in contact with the blood, open sores, or body fluids of someone who has the Hepatitis B virus (HBV).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2.How do you get Hepatitis B?<\/strong><\/p>\n You can get it if you have unprotected sex with someone who has it and blood, saliva, semen, or vaginal secretions enter your body. You can get infected if you share needles as the virus spreads easily via needles and syringes contaminated with infected blood. Accidental needle stick injuries are another method of transmission. Health care workers and anyone else who comes in contact with human blood can get it this way. Pregnant women with Hepatitis B can pass it to their babies during childbirth.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3.How soon will symptoms appear?<\/strong><\/p>\n On average symptoms appear 90 days after exposure, but they can appear any time between 6 weeks and 6 months after exposure.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4.What are the symptoms?<\/strong><\/p>\n Signs and symptoms of Hepatitis B range from mild to severe. Some people, usually young children, may not have any symptoms. Hepatitis B signs and symptoms may include: abdominal pain; dark urine; fever; joint pain; loss of appetite; nausea and vomiting; weakness and fatigue; yellowing of your skin and the whites of your eyes (jaundice). Hepatitis B infection may be either short-lived (acute) or long lasting (chronic). Acute Hepatitis B infection usually lasts less than six months. Your immune system likely can clear acute Hepatitis B from your body, and you should recover completely within a few months. Chronic Hepatitis B infection lasts 6 months or longer. Chronic Hepatitis B infection may last a lifetime, possibly leading to serious illnesses such as cirrhosis and liver cancer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 5.Testing and Treatment. <\/strong><\/p>\n Blood\u00a0testscan\u00a0detectsigns of the\u00a0Hepatitis B\u00a0virus in your body and tell your doctor\u00a0whether it’s acute or chronic. A simple blood\u00a0test\u00a0can also\u00a0determine\u00a0if you’re immune to the condition. If your doctor determines your hepatitis B infection is acute you may not need treatment. Your doctor might recommend rest, proper nutrition and plenty of fluids while your body fights the infection. Most people diagnosed with chronic Hepatitis B infection need treatment for the rest of their lives. Treatment such as antiviral medications helps reduce the risk of liver disease and prevents you from passing the infection to others.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 6.How can I reduce my risk of getting Hepatitis B?<\/strong><\/p>\n There is a vaccine available to provide you immunity against Hepatitis B.\u00a0 There are other simple ways to help stop the spread of Hepatitis B: wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after any potential exposure to blood; use condoms with sexual partners; avoid direct contact with blood and bodily fluids; cover all cuts carefully; avoid sharing sharp items such as razors, nail clippers, toothbrushes, and earrings or body rings; discard sanitary napkins and tampons into plastic bags; make sure new, sterile needles are used for ear or body piercing, tattoos, and acupuncture.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Hepatitis C” tab_id=”1516885726038-7569b218-893c”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]1.What is it?<\/strong><\/p>\n Hepatitis C is a liver infection caused by the Hepatitis C virus (HCV). Hepatitis C can range from a mild illness lasting a few weeks to a serious, lifelong illness. Hepatitis C is often described as acute meaning a new infection, or chronic meaning lifelong infection.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2.How do you get Hepatitis C?<\/strong><\/p>\n Hepatitis C is usually spread when blood from a person infected with the Hepatitis C virus enters the body of someone who is not infected. People can become infected with the Hepatitis C virus during such activities as: sharing needles, syringes, or other equipment to prepare or inject drugs; needle stick injuries in health care settings; being born to a mother who has Hepatitis C. Less commonly, a person can also get the Hepatitis C virus through: sharing personal care items that may have come in contact with another person\u2019s blood, such as razors or toothbrushes; having sexual contact with a person infected with the Hepatitis C virus, getting a tattoo or body piercing in an unregulated setting.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3.How soon will symptoms appear?<\/strong><\/p>\n For Hepatitis C, it can take 2 weeks to 6 months for symptoms to appear. On average, however, symptoms occur after around 6 to 7 weeks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4.What are the symptoms?<\/strong><\/p>\n Although many people affected with Hepatitis C do not show symptoms, some may experience the following after an initial infection: fever; fatigue; loss of appetite; nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain; urine that is darker than normal; clay or grey coloured stool; joint pain; yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes. Many people who have been infected and have a long-term infection may not show symptoms until liver damage occurs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 5.Testing and treatment. <\/strong><\/p>\n Doctors will typically test a person with a blood test called a Hepatitis C antibody test. If a person has what is called a non-reactive or negative test result, the person will not appear to have HCV. However, if the test is given during the window period which is the 6-9 weeks following infection, the result could be inaccurate. Hepatitis Cis\u00a0treatedusing direct acting antiviral (DAA) tablets. DAA tablets are the safest and most effective medicines for\u00a0treating Hepatitis C. They are highly effective at clearing the infection in more than 90% of people. The tablets are taken for 8 to 12 weeks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 6.How can I reduce my risk of getting<\/strong> Hepatitis C<\/strong>?<\/strong><\/p>\n There are steps you can take to reduce becoming infected: use new, sterile syringes and needles every time you inject; do not share any non-injection drug equipment, such as straws or pipes; do not share toothbrushes or razors or any personal care items that may have come in contact with someone living with Hepatitis C; if you are considering a tattoo or body piercing, be sure it is done by a reputable and licensed expert; practicing safer sex using a protective barrier (e.g., condoms) can reduce the risk.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_tabs][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n
