Q

REASONS FOR THE SPREAD OF STDs

A
  1. Difficulty in obtaining accurate information because of the stigma attached to STDs.
    •2. Failure to intercept transmission because of short incubation period.
    •3. Increase in societal permissiveness and promiscuity.
    •4. Rejection of traditional moral codes and principles.
    •5. Urbanization and industrialization.
    •6. Greater and easier mobility due to technological advancement.
    •7. Drug abuse and resistance to antibiotics.
    •8. Erosion of fear of pregnancy due to effective and cheap contraceptives.
    •9. Reservoir of infection in women.
    •10. Absence of vaccines.
    •11. Inadequate funding and facilities.
    •12. Ignorance.
27
Q

CLASSIFICATION OF STDs

A

Group 1. The old or classical STDs, which include gonorrhoea, syphilis, chancroid, lymphogranuloma venereum and granuloma inguinale. These five constitute the true or so-called “venereal diseases”.
•Group 2. All other STDs except HIV/AIDS
•Group 3. HIV/AIDS
• The newer the STD (or lower in the group above), the more difficult to diagnose and manage.

•In sexually active adults – both males and females, usually between ages

29
Q

Stds are commoner In older children by

A

Sexual abuse

30
Q

Stds are commoner in younger children by

31
Q

The use of Condom ……. STD prevalence.

32
Q

The mode of infection could be by

A

un-protected sex (vaginal or anal or oral), or vertically from an infected mother to her child (in-utero or trans-placental), or through blood and blood products.

33

A

•C. In Children
• 1. Severe sepsis
• 2. Eye infections  blindness
• 3. Pneumonia
• 4. Growth retardation
• 5. Malformations
• 6. Death

36
Q

The main objectives of STDs/HIV control should include:

A

•1. Interruption of the transmission of the infections.
•2. Prevention of the development of infection, complications and sequellae.
•3. Reduction in the risk of HIV infection.

37
Q

The spread of HIV is facilitated 2-9 times by the presence of …..

A

The spread of HIV is facilitated 2-9 times by the presence of STDs, especially the genital ulcer diseases.

38
Q

HIV infects ……….. every minute worldwide while HIV-positive mothers double every ……. years.

A

HIV infects sixteen persons every minute worldwide while HIV-positive mothers double every two years.

39
Q

The true global extent of STDs is unknown due to:

A

•1. Asymptomatic infections esp. in females
•2.Lack of access to STD facilities
•3.Lack of routine screening
•4.Fear of stigma.

40
Q

Generally, STD risk is highest between ages 15-30 years and the incidence drops thereafter. Some of the reasons for this include:

A
  1. Maturity
  2. Formation of stable relationships (marriage) and
    3.Less sexual drive
41
Q

Globally, STDs are known to be twice as common in the age bracket …….years than in any other age groups. Because females mature faster than males and therefore marry earlier than males and also because older males tend to go for younger females, STDs are higher in females than males between ages …….years. However, in all ages above …..years, STDs tend to be higher in males than females.

A

Globally, STDs are known to be twice as common in the age bracket 15-29 years than in any other age groups. Because females mature faster than males and therefore marry earlier than males and also because older males tend to go for younger females, STDs are higher in females than males between ages 10-19 years. However, in all ages above 20 years, STDs tend to be higher in males than females.
