Understanding STDs and STIs

Mode of Transmission: Contaminated needles

• Contaminated needles can transmit diseases through sharing needles when injecting drugs.

• Contaminated needles are safe if used in a sterile environment.

• Contaminated needles can only transmit diseases through blood transfusions.

• Contaminated needles are primarily used in medical settings.

Sexually Transmitted Infection: Treponema pallidum

• Treponema pallidum

• Escherichia coli

• Staphylococcus aureus

• Neisseria gonorrhoeae

Prevention of transmission through sexual contact and exposure to infected body fluids.

• Avoiding sexual contact with infected individuals and exposure to infected body fluids helps prevent disease transmission.

• Using condoms during sexual activity is the only way to prevent disease transmission.

• Regular testing for sexually transmitted infections is sufficient to prevent transmission.

• Engaging in sexual activity only with vaccinated individuals prevents all diseases.

Prevention of transmission from infected mother to child.

• Measures should be taken to prevent disease transmission from an infected mother to her child.

• Vaccination of the child after birth.
