Crabs (Pubic Lice)

Pthiriasis (pubic lice manifestations) are primarily spread through sexual contact. Pets do not play any part in the transmission of
human lice. The lice attach to the pubic hair, and may also be sometimes found in the armpits, moustache, beard, eyelashes, and
eyebrows. They feed on human blood. The vernacular "crabs" comes from the appearance of the lice, with their crab-like claws
and body shape.

Chancroid

Also known as soft chancre and ulcus molle. A bacterial infection caused by fastidious Gram-negative streptobacillus
Haemophilus ducreyi, and is characterized by painful sores on the genitalia. It is spread solely through sexual contact.
Chancroid is treated with a seven day course of Erythromycin, a single oral 1 gram dose of Azithromycin, or a single IM dose of
Ceftriaxone.

Hepatitis B

This STI is caused by the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV). It is transmitted via contact with infected semen, blood and some other body
fluids. A person can become infected by having unprotected sex, using an unsterilized syringe, being accidentally pricked by a
sharp object, drinking infected breast milk, or being bitten by an infected person.
The patient's liver swells and he/she can suffer serious liver damage as a result of the infection, which can eventually lead to
cancer. In some cases, the disease can become chronic. Blood donation centers always check to make sure the donor's blood is
free of the hepatitis B virus.

Molluscum Contagiosum is a contagious skin infection caused by a virus called molluscum contagiosum. There are four types:
MCV-1 (most common), MCV-2 (most commonly sexually transmitted one), MCV-3, and MCV-4. When it infects young children it
is not considered an STI.
Signs and symptoms include small, round bumps and indents on the skin. If left untreated, the bumps usually go away, but this
can take up to two years. A health care provider can remove the bumps with chemicals, an electrical current, or by freezing them.
There are some prescription medicines that will eventually get rid of the growths.

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease is a broad term for inflammation of the uterus, ovaries, or fallopian tubes. The disease can
eventually lead to scar formation and fibrous brands that form between tissues and organs. In most cases, PID is caused by a
vaginal or cervical infection, which then spreads. PID can be caused by bacteria, fungi, or parasites - in the majority of cases the
cause is a bacterium.
STIs are the most common causes of PIDs. However, PIDs may also be a consequence of abortion, miscarriage, childbirth, or
using an intrauterine device. Chlamydia and gonorrhea are common causes of PID.
Untreated PID can lead to chronic persistent pelvic pain, ectopic pregnancy, and infertility.
Many females with PID have no signs or symptoms. Some women find out after seeing a doctor for an infertility problem. PID
caused by Chlamydia usually has no symptoms.
