PUBIC LICE

Pubic lice, also known as crabs, are very small insects that infest your genital area. There are
three types of lice that infest humans:
 pediculus humanus capitis: head lice
 pediculus humanus corporis: body lice
 phthirus pubis: pubic lice
Pubic lice are typically transmitted through intimate contact, including sexual intercourse. It’s
also possible to catch pubic lice by using the blankets, towels, sheets, or clothing of people who
have pubic lice.
People with pubic lice often experience itching in their genital region or anus about five days
after the initial infestation. At night, the itching will become more intense. Other common
symptoms of pubic lice include:
 low-grade fever
 irritability
 lack of energy
 pale bluish spots near the bites

BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a vaginal infection caused by bacteria. It is the most common cause
of abnormal vaginal discharge that occurs in reproductive-age women (women who have not
gone through menopause yet).
Bacterial vaginosis may cause a "fishy" odor and cause vaginal irritation in some women. Others
may not have any symptoms.
Off-white, grey or greenish color vaginal discharge (fluid).
Discharge that smells "fishy."
"Fishy" smell that is strongest after sex or during the menstrual cycle.
Rarely, an itchy or sore vagina.

Chlaymdia trachomatis infection

Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted disease. It is caused by bacteria called Chlamydia
trachomatis. It can infect both men and women. Women can get chlamydia in the cervix, rectum,
or throat. Men can get chlamydia in the urethra (inside the penis), rectum, or throat.
You can get chlamydia during oral, vaginal, or anal sex with someone who has the infection. A
woman can also pass chlamydia to her baby during childbirth.
Chlamydia doesn't usually cause any symptoms. So you may not realize that you have it. People
with chlamydia who have no symptoms can still pass the disease to others. If you do have
symptoms, they may not appear until several weeks after you have sex with an infected partner.

Symptoms in women include

 Abnormal vaginal discharge, which may have a strong smell

 A burning sensation when urinating
 Pain during intercourse
If the infection spreads, you might get lower abdominal pain, pain during sex, nausea, or fever.

Symptoms in men include

 Discharge from your penis

 A burning sensation when urinating
 Burning or itching around the opening of your penis
 Pain and swelling in one or both testicles (although this is less common)
If the chlamydia infects the rectum (in men or women), it can cause rectal pain, discharge, and/or
bleeding.

HPV (HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUS)

HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI). HPV is a different virus
than HIV and HSV (herpes). There were about 43 million HPV infections in 2018, many among
people in their late teens and early 20s. There are many different types of HPV. Some types can
cause health problems including genital warts and cancers. But there are vaccines that can stop
these health problems from happening.
You can get HPV by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has the virus. It is most
commonly spread during vaginal or anal sex. HPV can be passed even when an infected person
has no signs or symptoms.

High risk HPV may not present with any symptoms. Without treatment, however, it can cause
several cancers, including the following:
  cervical

 vaginal

 vulvar

 oropharyngeal

 anal

GENITAL HERPES

Genital herpes is a common sexually transmitted infection caused by the herpes simplex virus
(HSV). Sexual contact is the primary way that the virus spreads. After the initial infection, the
virus lies dormant in your body and can reactivate several times a year.

Genital herpes can cause pain, itching and sores in your genital area. But you may have no signs
or symptoms of genital herpes. If infected, you can be contagious even if you have no visible
sores.

There's no cure for genital herpes, but medications can ease symptoms and reduce the risk of
infecting others. Condoms also can help prevent the spread of a genital herpes infection.
