The #1 Killer "TODAY" is not guns, drugs, or starvation but IT`S STD`S (SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES) AND IT`S LEADER, AIDS

• Most of us have had AID’s (HIV) tests before coming here. It goes without saying that we, who were tested, are free otherwise we would not be here. (You can have it for 6 months before it shows on a test.)
• The blood test we had was ONLY for HIV so do you know if you are 100% clear of all the others????????
• Of course we assume you are.

Just for Starters

• DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS AND WHAT CAUSED IT????

Would you like your leg like this?

The Sex Question

• Do you like to have unsafe sex because it feels better without condom? �
• Do you have sex with any or everybody because he/she looks as good as Hell?

​

• Do you like oral sex without

checking your partner first?

​

• If you answered yes to any of

these? Then you need to get

tested for STD’s and AIDS because

there is a high chance you will

get infected sooner or later.

Sexually Transmitted Disease

7

1. HERPES

Herpes. Symptoms start with tingling or itching around your genitals. Small blisters may form in the area and then pop open. When this happens, you might feel burning, especially when urinating. The sores then turn to scabs. During the first outbreak, you

might have swollen glands,

fever and body aches. But

some people don't have such

obvious symptoms. Outbreaks

may occur for the rest of your

life, but usually become less

frequent and less painful

with time

Sexually Transmitted Disease

2. GENITAL WARTS

Genital warts are caused by a virus called the Human Papilloma Virus. The warts can be removed, but the person will have the virus for the rest of their life. It is very common for the warts to reappear after

they have been removed.

This disease is spread by

coming in contact with the

wart, but often the warts

cannot be seen. Genital

warts can have very

different appearances.

Sexually Transmitted Disease

3. GONORRHEA and CHLAMYDIA

• Gonorrhea and chlamydia are both bacteria. The symptoms of gonorrhea and chlamydia are very similar. Men and women often complain of a discharge, frequent urination, or burning when they urinate. In gonorrhea the discharge is often white, in chlamydia the

discharge is usually clear.

• Very often people may not have

any symptoms! Both gonorrhea

and chlamydia are spread by

coming in contact with the

discharge. If a woman is not

treated for either of these diseases,

it could lead to a severe infection

in her reproductive organs which

could cause infertility. ��

Sexually Transmitted Disease

4. SYPHILIS

• Syphilis. Early signs include a chancre (a painless, red sore). The sores may appear where you were touched during sex, including your genitals, anus, tongue and throat. The glands near the chancre may swell.
• A few months later, you may

have a fever, sore throat and

headache, not feel hungry or

have joint pain. A scaly rash

may appear on the palms of

your hands and the soles of

your feet.

Sexually Transmitted Disease

4. SYPHILIS

After these symptoms pass, you may not have any symptoms for a number of years. When the symptoms return, the infections can affect the brain, spinal cord, and skin and bone.

If left untreated the condition will get worse and spread until an agonising death. Just imagine the pain and suffering these people had to go through, and no guarantee of normal life. Just imagine the pain and suffering these people had to go through, and no guarantee of normal life.

Hepatitis B

• What is Hepatitis B?

HBV is a viral infection of the Liver

It is a Blood Borne Pathogen

it multiplies in the Liver

13

Hepatitis B

• HBV spreads through sexual contact.
• Symptoms may include muscle aches, fever, tiredness, loss of appetite, headache and dizziness.
• As the disease worsens, you may have dark urine, loose, light-colored stools, yellow eyes and skin, and tenderness in the liver area (just below the ribs on the right side).
• HBV can be fatal if it leads to liver failure or liver cancer.

Hepatitis C

• What is Hepatitis C?

HCV is another Blood borne pathogen similar to HBV

• It has low cycle of progression
• It is spread mainly through Drug user’s needles.
• There is a “Low” Risk of spread through sexual activity
• Currently there are around 200m people worldwide who are affected by HCV

16

Hepatitis C

• SYMPTOMS INCLUDE
• †Anxiety †Arthritis †Ascites (swelling in the stomach area) †Blurred Vision †Chills †Dark Urine Decline in sex drive †Depression †Dizziness †Dry Skin †Edema (swelling of the hands, feet & legs) †Excessive Bleeding †excessive gas †Eye or eyesight problems (blurred vision or dry eyes) †Fatigue †Fever †Flu like symptoms †Gallstones †Grey, yellow, white or light colored stools †Headaches †Hepatalgia (pain or discomfort in liver area) †Hot flashes †Indigestion †Inflammation in the joints †Insomnia †Irritability †Itching †Jaundice (yellowing of eyes and/or skin) †Joint pain †Mood changes or swings †Memory loss, mental confusion †Menstrual problems †Muscle aches †Nausea †Rashes/Red spots †Red palms †Sensitivity to heat or cold †Sleep disturbances †Slow healing and recovery †Succeptibility to illness/flu †Sweating †Vertigo †Vomiting †Water retention †Weakness †Weight gain † Weight loss

Hepatitis C

PRECAUTIONS

• Do not shoot drugs; if you shoot drugs, stop and get into a treatment program; if you can't stop, never share needles, syringes, water, or "works", and get vaccinated against hepatitis A & B.
• Do not share personal care items that might have blood on them (razors, toothbrushes).
• Consider the risks if you are thinking about getting a tattoo or body piercing. You might get infected if the tools have someone else's blood on them or if the artist or pierce does not follow good health practices.
• HCV can be spread by sex, but this is rare. If you are having sex with more than one steady sex partner, use latex condoms* correctly and every time to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. You should also get vaccinated against hepatitis B.
• UNLIKE ‘B’ THERE IS NO VACCINE AGAINST IT.

18

H.I.V. (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)�& AIDS

• HIV is the virus that causes AIDS �(acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). It weakens your body's ability to fight off disease.
• As your body's immune system weakens, illnesses begin to develop until you can no longer fight them off.
• Symptoms may take years to develop and may include unusual infections, unexplained fatigue, night sweats and weight loss.

Some information on AIDS

HOW CAN YOU GET HIV/AIDS?

• You have had sexual relations with a person who has HIV/AIDS and did not use a condom
• You have received a transfusion of a blood product that was untested and perhaps contaminated
• You have injected yourself with drugs using a contaminated syringe or needle
• You have had blood, bloody drainage, or saliva from the person with HIV/AIDS enter a cut or open area on your skin, mouth, or other body part
• You have been injured by a sharp object like a razor or needle used by the person with HIV/AIDS

21

Some information on AIDS.

What Does "AIDS" Mean?

• AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome:
• Acquired means you can get infected with it.
• Immune Deficiency means a weakness in the body's system that fights diseases.
• Syndrome means a group of health problems that make up a disease.

22

Some information on AIDS

Since the beginning of the epidemic, AIDS has killed nearly 19 million people worldwide, including some 425,000 Americans. AIDS has replaced malaria and tuberculosis as the world's deadliest infectious disease among adults and is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide. Over 13 million children have been orphaned by the epidemic

23

Some information on AIDS

How Is HIV Transmitted?

A person who is HIV-infected carries the virus in certain body fluids, including blood, semen, vaginal secretions, and breast milk. The virus can be transmitted only if such HIV-infected fluids enter the bloodstream of another person. This kind of direct entry can occur (1) through the linings of the vagina, rectum, mouth, and the opening at the tip of the penis; (2) through intravenous injection with a syringe; or (3) through a break in the skin, such as a cut or sore. Usually, HIV is transmitted through: -

24

Some information on AIDS

Unprotected sexual intercourse (either vaginal or anal) with someone who is HIV-infected.�Women are at greater risk of HIV infection through vaginal sex than men, although the virus can also be transmitted from women to men. Anal sex (whether male-male or male-female) poses a high risk mainly to the receptive partner, because the lining of the anus and rectum are extremely thin and filled with small blood vessels that can be easily injured during intercourse.

25

Some information on AIDS

Unprotected oral sex with someone who is HIV-infected.�There are far fewer cases of HIV transmission attributed to oral sex than to either vaginal or anal intercourse, but oral-genital contact poses a clear risk of HIV-infection, particularly when ejaculation occurs in the mouth. This risk is increased when either partner has cuts or sores, such as those caused by sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), recent tooth-brushing, or canker sores, which can allow the virus to enter the bloodstream.

26

Some information on AIDS

Sharing needles or syringes with someone who is HIV-infected.�Laboratory studies show that infectious HIV can survive in used needles for a month or more, and should never reuse or share syringes, water, or drug preparation equipment. This includes needles or syringes used to inject illegal drugs such as heroin, as well as steroids. Other types of needles, such as those used for body piercing and tattoos, can also carry HIV.

27

Some information on AIDS

Infection during pregnancy, childbirth, or breast-feeding (mother-to-infant transmission).�Any woman who is pregnant or considering becoming pregnant and thinks she may have been exposed to HIV even if the exposure occurred years ago should seek testing and counseling. Mother-to-infant transmission has been reduced to just a few cases each year in the U.S., where pregnant women are tested for HIV, and those who test positive are provided with drugs to prevent transmission and counseled not to breast-feed.

​

28

Some information on AIDS

How Is HIV Not Transmitted?

HIV is not an easy virus to pass from one person to another. It is not transmitted through food or air (for instance, by coughing or sneezing). There has never been a case where a person was infected by a household member, relative, co-worker, or friend through casual or everyday contact such as sharing eating utensils and bathroom facilities or hugging and kissing. (Most scientists agree that while HIV transmission through deep or prolonged "French" kissing may be possible, it would be extremely unlikely.)

29

STD Prevention

• Exercise Sex restraint (practice monogamy)
• Choose your partner wisely
• Regular medical check-up
• Use Condom
• Use Condom anyway…..

​

30

How Can I Know Whether I'm HIV-Infected?

Immediately after infection, some people may develop mild, temporary flu-like symptoms or persistent swollen glands. Even if you look and feel healthy, you may be infected. The only way to know your HIV status for sure is to be tested for HIV antibodies proteins the body produces in an effort to fight off infection. This usually requires a blood sample. If a person's blood has HIV antibodies, that means the person is infected.

31

In Case of Doubt

• Go immediately to your Doctor and request for Blood Test.
• In some countries like UK, this is only given after counselling.
• The test is completely Confidential.
• The same Blood Test can identify most Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD).

Remember

This is not a cure for AIDS……
