INDICATIONS – SIGNIFICANCE (High-Risk STD)

Sexually transmitted diseases are preventively controlled, as their transmission is most often carried out by people who have not realized that they have it.

This is because the time for the appearance of clinical symptoms - discomfort ranges from a few months to several years.

The dangerous sexually transmitted diseases that can be fatal are:

Hepatitis B and C (HBV, HCV): are viral infections that affect the liver.

1. Type B is particularly easily transmitted (even with a kiss). In the acute phase of infection, hepatitis B can become life-threatening. An early diagnosis is necessary to take appropriate prophylactic measures for the infected person himself. The hepatitis B vaccine prevents its transmission. However, in order to remain the vaccine effective, the adequacy of antibodies (anti-HBs) should be checked at regular intervals in order to meet the need for booster vaccination in time.
2. Type C is more difficult to transmit, but turns into a chronic infection and it is extremely dangerous for the development of fatal liver cirrhosis or even liver cancer. The early diagnosis allows for the necessary treatment and eradication of the disease before damage occurs.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus HIV infection that develops AIDS

Its early detection is extremely important for timely medical treatment of the infection, and its transition to chronic diseases, with proportionally much lower risk.

Syphilis: a bacterial infection detected by the VDRL blood test. The disease affects the mucous membranes and creates sores on the skin, making it extremely easy to transmit other diseases. It is easily treatable with antibiotics.

PAY ATTENTION!

1. In case you have been exposed to the possibility of hepatitis-HIV infection in the last three 24 hours, go or contact IMMEDIATELY the Special Infections centers of large public hospitals or KELPNO (tel. 210-5212.000 AIDS line 210-7222.222) so that you can be given, if it is possible, preventive treatment in order to avoid transmission of the infection.
2. If you find that you have any sexually transmitted disease, you should inform your recent sexual partners so that they should be tested too.

Sexually transmitted infections also include infections that cause:

1. long-term inflammations and infertility (ureaplasma, mycoplasma, chlamydia)
2. annoying – periodic conditions (cold sores and genital herpes)
3. cervical cancer ( papilloma virus – HPV )
4. urinary tract infections, prostatitis, vulvitis, urethritis, fungal infections (common germs – fungi)
