Gonorrhea.... it is a weird looking word. Reminds me of Gommorah..... Sodom and Gomorrah... Syphilis and Gonorrhea... Symptoms in men include: •Burning and pain while urinating •Increased urinary frequency or urgency •Discharge from the penis (white, yellow, or green in color) •Red or swollen opening of penis (urethra) •Tender or swollen testicles •Sore throat Symptoms in women can be very mild or non-specific, and may be mistaken for another type of infection. They include: •Vaginal discharge •Burning and pain while urinating •Increased urination •Sore throat •Painful sexual intercourse •Severe pain in lower abdomen (if the infection spreads to the fallopian tubes and stomach area) •Fever (if the infection spreads to the fallopian tubes and stomach area)

HIV/AIDS=DEATH!

Genital human papillomavirus (HPV) Most people with HPV do not develop symptoms or health problems. But sometimes, certain types of HPV can cause genital warts in men and women. Other HPV types can cause cervical cancer and other less common cancers, such as cancers of the vulva, vagina, anus, and penis. The types of HPV that can cause genital warts are not the same as the types that can cause cancer. HPV types are often referred to as “low-risk” (wart-causing) or “high-risk” (cancer-causing), based on whether they put a person at risk for cancer. In 90% of cases, the body’s immune system clears the HPV infection naturally within two years. This is true of both high-risk and low-risk types. Genital warts usually appear as small bumps or groups of bumps, usually in the genital area. They can be raised or flat, single or multiple, small or large, and sometimes cauliflower shaped. They can appear on the vulva, in or around the vagina or anus, on the cervix, and on the penis, scrotum, groin, or thigh. Warts may appear within weeks or months after sexual contact with an infected person. Or, they may not appear at all. If left untreated, genital warts may go away, remain unchanged, or increase in size or number. They will not turn into cancer. Cervical cancer does not have symptoms until it is quite advanced. For this reason, it is important for women to get screened regularly for cervical cancer. Other less common HPV-related cancers, such as cancers of the vulva, vagina, anus and penis, also may not have signs or symptoms until they are advanced.

Chlamydia As many as 1 in 4 men with chlamydia have no symptoms. In men, chlamydia may produce symptoms similar to gonorrhea. Symptoms may include: •Burning sensation during urination •Discharge from the penis or rectum •Testicular tenderness or pain •Rectal discharge or pain Only about 30% of women with chlamydia have symptoms. Symptoms that may occur in women include: •Burning sensation during urination •Painful sexual intercourse •Rectal pain or discharge •Symptoms of PID, salpingitis, liver inflammation similar to hepatitis •Vaginal discharge

Genital herpes For people with no prior contact with HSV-1 or HSV-2, initial infection involves both whole body (systemic) and local symptoms. Generalized symptoms include: •Decreased appetite •Fever •Malaise •Muscle aches Local symptoms include repeated eruptions of small, painful blisters filled with clear, straw-colored fluid on the genitals, around the rectum, or covering nearby areas of skin. Before these blisters appear, the person may experience increased skin sensitivity, tingling, burning, itching, or pain at the site where the blisters will appear. When the blisters break, they leave shallow ulcers that are very painful. These ulcers eventually crust over and slowly heal over 7 - 14 days. Enlarged and tender lymph nodes in the groin may accompany an outbreak. Women also may develop vaginal discharge and painful urination. Men can develop painful urination if the lesion is near the opening of the urethra. Once a person is infected, the virus hides within nerve cells, making it difficult for the immune system to find and destroy it. Within the nerve cells, the virus can remain dormant for a long period of time, which is called "latency." The infection can reactivate at any time, at which point painful blisters again cover the genitals, anus, inner thigh, or mouth. A variety of events can trigger latent infection to become active, including: •Fatigue •Mechanical irritation •Menstruation •Stress Attacks can recur as seldom as once per year, or so often that the symptoms seem continuous. Recurrent infections in men are generally milder and shorter in duration than those in women.

Babies: It's miniature people. Now I'll describe what it does to women. When You get infected you grow a parasite inside Your uterus that eats up Your nutrients, it's heavy, makes moving around more difficult and there are all kinds of other symptoms. After about 38 weeks it goes into the other phase when the parasite gets out of Your body and all the symptoms subside. And then it goes into the second phase that might last about 18-25 years, in difficult cases even 30-40 years. (basement dweller type) The most obvious symptoms are eating up a lot of Your money, time and nerves. You might scare Your boyfriend, who might run away and those of Your friends who like "Sex and the City". . What it does to men will be described in the next episode. See You next time, kids.
