Types of STIs.
Syphilis
Definition: It is a chronic, generalized infectious disease, transmitted primarily
It can be transmitted through sexual contact. It can be transmitted by kiss, through the placenta.
(Prenatal syphilis), through blood transfusions and when there is a wound in
the skin and comes into contact with some syphilitic lesion.
Gonorrhea
Definition: It is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the Gonococcus bacteria.
From the infection, it can take several paths:
Disappearing spontaneously.
2. Spread through the genitourinary system.
3. Pass into the bloodstream and produce distant manifestations: that is to say
far from the site of infection; the most common are the heart (it becomes inflamed
tunic or inner cape and causes endocarditis) and in the joints
4. (arthritis).
Genital herpes
Definition: This disease is caused by herpes virus type II, it starts
between 2 to 12 days after infection with mild pain and sensation of
itching. Then small vesicles (blisters or little bags filled with
liquid) that open up to give rise to very painful ulcerations. In the
women are found in the cervix, the female pudendum (vulva), the vagina,
the urethra and the anus. In men, lesions appear on the penis and the urethra.
HIV
Definition: The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is responsible for
acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and attacks T-4 lymphocytes, which
are a fundamental part of the human immune system. As
as a consequence, it decreases the body's ability to respond to do
against opportunistic infections caused by viruses, bacteria, protozoa, fungi
and other types of infections.
Vulnerable groups

young people between 15 and 24 years old.
Risk factors
Having unprotected sexual intercourse.
Contact with bodily substances.
Contacted with contaminated objects.
Contaminated blood transfusions.
Signs and symptoms
After unprotected sexual intercourse (without using a condom) in most of the
Cases will show three types of discomfort at the site of sexual contact (vagina,
penis, anus or mouth):
Granites or sores or ulcers or "chafing", with discomfort such as pain, burning or
without any.
Vaginal discharge in small or large amounts that may be accompanied by a bad smell, "smell
to fish", itching, burning or without any discomfort.
In men, secretion through the urinary tract or rectum, accompanied by pain and
burning when urinating. "Little balls" or warts or "rooster crest" that usually do not cause
annoyances.

Recurrent infections. Herpes or "fires" in the sexual organs.
Pain in the lower abdomen.
Pregnancies outside the uterus, abortions or changes in the cycle.
Uterine cancer (caused by the human papillomavirus)
Sexually transmitted infections facilitate the transmission of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
Sterility
Preventive measures
One of the most effective ways to protect yourself from any STI is to get informed.
and use a condom (male or female)
Use a condom in every sexual relationship.
1. Open the condom carefully to avoid damaging it with nails or rings.
It should be opened from one side and always with the fingers, never with assistance from the
tooth or scissors.

right or upside down. This can be done by blowing a little into the
condom to see which way we have to unroll it
4. Place the condom on the erect penis before any
vaginal, anal or oral penetration. The fluids produced during the first
erection phases can contain sperm and causative microorganisms
of ITS.
If you have a sexual partner and one of you has acquired an STI, it is very
