  1. Sexual Health & College Students Peer Educators University of West Georgia

  2. Ground Rules • We are talking about SEX and SEXUAL ORGANS!! Be forewarned! • Be considerate. • Extreme close-ups • Laugh at speaker’s corny jokes, not people affected.

  3. Disclaimer • The only sure-fire, without a doubt, guaranteed way to be 100% certain that you will not get an STD or pregnancy is abstinence! • This means no sexual activity with another person (at all).

  4. Contraception vs. Protection • Birth control pills, patches, and injections prevent pregnancy but they do not affect STDs. • Protection prevents STDs and Pregnancy. • Protection = Contraception • Contraception ≠ Protection

  5. Barrier Methods • Male Condom • Female Condom • Dental Dam

  6. Condom Considerations • “Prevention of disease and pregnancy” • Latex vs Polyurethane • Lubricated vs Non-Lubricated • Keep at room temperature • Monitor expiration date • Use proper lubricant

  7. Female Condoms • More protection options • Heat sensitive polyurethane • More expensive • Can be difficult to find • Noisy and awkward

  8. Dental Dams • Vaginal membranes are very similar to mucus membranes • Come in different flavors • Difficult to find • Cannot be used for penetrative sex

  9. Sexually Transmitted Diseases • Common Problem • High risk population • Varies from person to person • Bacterial vs Viral • Bacterial diseases can be treated and cured with antibiotics • Viral diseases are not curable

  10. Pubic Lice • Aka Crabs • Not necessarily an STD • Symptoms include itching, blood droplets, and visible nits. • Treatment requires medicated shampoo and disinfecting every possible site of infestation.

  11. Chlamydia & Gonorrhea • Bacterial infection; aka “the drip” “the clap” • Symptoms show up 1-3 weeks after infection. • Symptoms include discharge, pain or burning during urination, and abdominal pain. • Treatment requires taking a culture, a course of antibiotics, and follow-up testing.

  12. Herpes • Viral infection • Simplex I, Simplex II, Herpes Zoster • Symptoms may not appear for months. • Symptoms include fever and headache, itching, and smooth oval shaped blisters. • Can be treated but not cured.

  13. Human Papillomavirus/Genital Warts • Viral infection • Symptoms include painless rough textured bumps that occur in clusters • “Cauliflower” disease • Increased risk of cancer • Treatment choices include cryotherapy, acidic solution, surgical removal, and topical medication.

  14. Syphilis • Bacterial infection • Occurs in 3 stages • Primary: chancre appears 2 weeks after infection • Secondary: skin rash, fever, and headache • Tertiary: deterioration of bones, organs, and central nervous system • Can be cured with antibiotics until Secondary stage but cannot reverse damage.

  15. Buy One, Get One Free • People with one STD have a higher probability of getting another. • Infections need a “way in” to the body. • Sores, blisters, lesions, and irritated tissue allow easy access. • Symptoms can also be ambiguous.

  16. Name that tune!!
