Females with trichomoniasis are also more likely to contract HIV if they are exposed to it. Also, many infected females often experience vaginitis, an inflammation of the vagina characterized by discharge, odor, and itching.

c.

c. are at higher risk of infection from HIV.

Are at higher risk of infection from HIV, and babies born to females with trichomoniasis are often premature and have low birth weights.

a. can lead to serious health problems

Any STDs that are undiagnosed or untreated can lead to serious health problems.

Many people infected with STDs are asymptomatic, and unaware they have a disease.

STDs in females show more symptoms, infection, and likely to have HIV while males are mostly asymptomatic and some experiences are irritations and discharges.

Antibiotics

Antibiotics are a class of chemical agents that destroy disease-causing micro-organisms while leaving the patient unharmed.

Abstinence

Abstinence is the most successful method to prevent the spread of STD.

d. abstaining from sexual activity

Abstaining from sexual activity can help prevent people from contracting STDs.

d. all of the above

Getting a diagnosis and treatment is acting responsibly, a healthful behavior and is crucial for those infected with STDs.

a. does not prevent reinfection

Treatment of an STD does not prevent reinfection if one does not avoid high-risk behaviors.

Both STDs are introduced to the body by body fluids.
Bacterial STDs are caused by bacteria and can be treated with antibiotics
while Viral STDs are caused by viruses and incurable.

HPV Vaccine can prevent cervical cancer, pre-cancerous genital lesions, and genital warts. The vaccine may be less effective to females who have been already exposed to HPV, and Health officials recommend the vaccine for females 9-26 years old.

Preventing STD is more effective than treating it because most of the time
it is asymptomatic. An infected individual can unknowingly transmit the disease to others. Also, contracting a viral STD can only be controlled and cannot be cured.

HIV

HIV is transmitted through the bloodstream in three ways. Through Sexual intercourse, by sharing needles and from mother to baby.

AIDS

AIDS is the final stage of HIV and has become one of the deadliest disease in human history.

pandemic

Health care officials consider HIV/AIDS a pandemic and is greatly increased because many of the young people who are infected do not know it.

d. becomes more vulnerable to opportunistic illnesses.

During the course of HIV/AIDS, the infected person becomes more vulnerable to opportunistic illnesses, these are the infections the body could fight if the immune system were healthy.

c. the virus shrinks cells

HIV enters certain cells such as lymphocytes, reproduces itself, and eventually destroys the cell.

b. HIV destroys the white blood cells.

HIV destroys the while blood cells and gradually weakens the immune system.

Once HIV enters the body, it destroys the white blood cells, weakens the immune system over time, and making the body more vulnerable to opportunistic infections. The final stage would be developing AIDS.

The most common misinformation from HIV is that it can spread through airborne transmission, through casual contact such as shaking hands or hugging, from insect bites, sweat, tears, and saliva of infected persons.

It is wrong because the amount is too small to be considered dangerous.

Enzyme immunoassay or EIA is the first test that screens for presence of HIV antibodies in the blood.

Western Blot is used only after EIA produce positive results.

Western Blot

Rapid test

A Rapid Test is collected and analyzed immediately on site and it is considered a preliminary test before taking the Western Blot if the result is positive.

c. get a medical diagnosis right away.

A person who thinks he or she is infected with HIV/AIDS should get a medical diagnosis right away to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS.

c. don’t know they are infected

One-fourth of the people infected are unaware that they are HIV-positive because of the lack of symptoms, thus, unknowingly, they transmit the virus to other people.

d. can unknowingly spread the virus to others.

Those who are infected with HIV are unaware that they are infected may unknowingly spread the virus to others.

One reason why HIV/AIDS is much higher in developing countries may be because of poverty. There may be issues to public healthcare, low level of education and inability to read may result in lack of awareness of the risk of transmission, the unemployment rate is high thus resulting to insufficiency to support health costs.
