Topic 1: Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)The letters STI stand for Sexually Transmitted Infection. An STI is a germ that ispassed from an infected person who has an STI during unprotected sexualintercourse. The most common STIs in PNG are gonorrhoea, chlamydia,donovanosis, syphilis, thrush, genital herpes and HIV.Previously STIs were called venereal disease (VD) or sexually transmitteddisease (STD).1.1 Why is it important to teach young people about STIs?• PNG has a very high rate of STIs (the highest in the Pacific)• STIs increase the risk of being infected with HIV• STIs can lead to permanent damage to their reproductive organs (e.g. PelvicInflammatory Disease or PID in women) and infertility• Many STIs can be easily detected and treated• STIs are an indicator of unprotected sex• STIs can lead to domestic violence and damage relationships• Many people do not know the signs and symptoms and causes of STIsAnyone with an untreated STI has an increased risk of being infected with HIV.Why?• Any sore on the genitals acts as a “doorway” for HIV to pass into the body• White blood cells are found in large numbers at the site of the infection andHIV infects white blood cells• Getting an STI is a sign you have had unprotected sex and your sexualpartner also had unprotected sex with someone elseIf you think you have an STI, you must get treated. Then your sexual partnermust also be tested and treated.If you have an STI, you and your partner must change your sexual behaviour.1.2 Symptoms and Treatments for STIsInfection Symptoms in women Symptoms in men TreatmentSyphilis (bacteria) Painless sore on the genitals, a rash on the palms andfeet.
