Sexually Transmitted and Blood Born Infections (STBBI) Assignment
STBBIs come in different forms with different ways of being transmitted, different
transmission rates, and different ways of being treated. Your assignment is to
compare and contrast three different STBBIs chosen from the lists below and to
answer the assigned questions.
Choose one STBBI from each of the following columns to compare and contrast:
Bacterial Infections
Viral Infections
Other Infections
Chlamydia
Herpes
Pubic Lice
Gonorrhea
Genital Warts (HPV)
Trichomonasis Vaginalis
Syphilis
HIV/AIDS
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
LGV
Hepatitis A
Mycoplasma genitalium
Bacterial Vaginosis
Hepatitis B
Scabies
Chancroid
Hepatitis C
Mucopurulent Cervicitis
Research and answer the following 5 questions. Your project can be formatted
however you choose (Slides, Doc, Poster, etc.)
1) What are the major differences between how each of the STBBIs are
caused (i.e. bacteria vs virus)? (Give at least 3 major differences)
2) Describe the signs and symptoms of each of the STBBIs you chose? (Give at
least 5 for each)
3) How is each STBBI transmitted from person to person and how can its
spread be prevented? (Provide a detailed explanation)
4) How is each STBBI treated? (Provide a detailed explanation)
5) Provide the following statistics for each:
a. How many people in the world are infected with each STBBI
annually?
b. How many people in Quebec or Canada are infected with each STBBI
annually?
c. Which demographic of people are most likely to be infected with
each STBBI (what age group, gender, nationality, etc.)
Provide MLA referencing for all sources.
