some pathogens can be very harmful to people’s
bodies.
 pathogens
Germs that cause disease

that shows all the different
types of pathogens. Provide
at least one example for
each one.
Pathogens
In this lesson, you will learn to
 identify types of germs that can cause disease.
 describe what an infection is.

Germs and Disease
A disease such as the common cold is a
communicable disease.
disease Any condition that interferes with the normal or proper
functioning of the body or mind
communicable disease A disease that can be spread to a
person from another person, an
animal, or an object
Germs and Disease
Communicable diseases are spread by germs.
germs Organisms that are so small they can only be seen
through a microscope
Germs and Disease
Pathogens are harmful germs.
pathogens Germs that cause disease
Germs and Disease
When the body cannot fight of an infection, a
disease develops.
infection A condition that happens when pathogens enter
the body, multiply, and cause harm
Kinds of Pathogens
Viruses are not alive.
viruses The smallest and simplest pathogens
Viruses are usually made of genetic material and
protein.
Kinds of Pathogens

Examples of fungi include molds, yeast, and
mushrooms.
fungi Organisms that are more complex than bacteria but
cannot make their own food
Fungi thrive in warm, moist environments.
Kinds of Pathogens
Many protozoa are harmless, but some can cause
disease.
protozoa One-celled organisms that are more
complex than bacteria
Kinds of Pathogens

insects
Indirect contact
with others
How
Pathogens
Spread
Contact with
contaminated
food or water
Contact with
someone
else’s blood
Sexual contact

humans with West Nile
Virus. Controlling mosquito
populations is one way to
help control the spread of
West Nile Virus.

What Are Sexually Transmitted Diseases?
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are also
called sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
hygiene Infections that are spread from person to person
through sexual contact
What Are Sexually Transmitted Diseases?
The STD Fact File
Someone who has an STD may
not have visible symptoms, or
may have symptoms that come
and go. However, such a person
may be contagious even when
there are no symptoms.
What Are Sexually Transmitted Diseases?
The STD Fact File
STDs can be prevented by
saying no to high-risk behaviors,
such as sexual activity.
What Are Sexually Transmitted Diseases?
The STD Fact File
STDs can make a person sterile
or infertile.
What Are Sexually Transmitted Diseases?
The STD Fact File
Not all STDs are curable, and
some are even fatal.
What Are Sexually Transmitted Diseases?
The STD Fact File
A person who suspects that he
or she is infected with an STD
must see a doctor.
What Are Sexually Transmitted Diseases?
The STD Fact File
Vaccines are not available for
most STDs.
What Are Sexually Transmitted Diseases?
Chlamydia is often referred to as a “silent” disease
because in many cases there are no symptoms.
chlamydia A bacterial STD that may affect the reproductive
organs, urethra, and anus
Left untreated, chlamydia can cause infections in the
body and infertility.
What Are Sexually Transmitted Diseases?
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections like genital
warts are the most common type of STD.
genital warts Growths or bumps in the genital area caused
by certain types of human papillomavirus
Like chlamydia, HPV is often a silent disease,
causing no symptoms until many years after the
initial infection.
What Are Sexually Transmitted Diseases?
Even when the symptoms of genital herpes go
away, the virus and the disease remain in the body.
genital herpes A viral STD that produces painful blisters on
the genital area
There is no known cure for genital herpes.
What Are Sexually Transmitted Diseases?
Trichomoniasis can be treated and cured with
medications.
trichomoniasis An STD caused by the protozoan
Trichomonas vaginalis
Symptoms include vaginal discharge, discomfort
during urination, and irritation or itching in the
genital area.

Gonorrhea can be treated with antibiotics.
gonorrhea A bacterial STD that affect the mucous membranes of
the body, particularly in the genital area
Symptoms include a thick yellowish discharge from
the genitals and burning sensation when urinating.
What Are Sexually Transmitted Diseases?
If diagnosed and treated in the first or second stage,
syphilis can be cured with antibiotics.
syphilis A bacterial STD that can affect many parts of the body
If left untreated, syphilis can eventually cause mental
disorders, heart problems, and death.
What Are Sexually Transmitted Diseases?
Hepatitis B can be transmitted by sexual contact or
through contaminated needles.
hepatitis B A disease caused by the hepatitis B virus that
affects the liver
There is a vaccine available for hepatitis B.
Abstinence from Sexual Activity
There is a 100 percent effective way to avoid STDs:
Abstinence
Abstinence from Sexual Activity
The media often sends messages that sexual activity
is exciting.
There is no mention of the risks of
STDs or unplanned pregnancies.
Use refusal
skills to avoid
being pressured
to take part in
sexual activity.

Appropriate ways for teens to show affection include
holding hands and complimenting someone.

Identifying Problems and Solutions
After reading this lesson, identify how HIV is transmitted and
what can be done to prevent the spread of HIV.
What Are HIV and AIDS?
HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) attacks and
kills T cells.
HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) The virus that causes AIDS
AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) A disease that
interferes with the
body’s ability to fight
infection
What Are HIV and AIDS?
HIV does not kill T cells immediately.
An infected person can have the virus for years
without showing any signs or symptoms.
The Spread of HIV
How HIV Is Spread
Sexual Intercourse
• This is most common
way that HIV spreads
• HIV circulates in the
bloodstream and in
other bodily fluids
• The virus circulates in
the body even before it
destroys the immune
system
• Abstinence is the only
protection against
transmission
Contaminated Needles
• A single drop of blood
left on a needle can
contain enough HIV to
infect someone
• Contaminated tattoo
needles can transmit
HIV
• People with diabetes
and other who need to
use needles should do
so under supervision of
a medical professional
Other
• A pregnant female can
transmit HIV to her child
during delivery
• A pregnant female can
transmit HIV to her child
through breast milk
• Before blood screening,
people sometimes
became infected during
blood transfusions
The Spread of HIV
How HIV Is NOT Spread
Swimming in a pool with an infected person.
Sharing utensils with an infected person.
Breathing the air near an infected person.
Donating blood.
Being bitten by a mosquito that has bitten an infected person.
Hugging or shaking hands with an infected person.
Using the same shower, bathtub, or toilet as an infected person.
Sharing sports equipment with an infected person.
Fighting AIDS
In the United States, more that 14,000 people die
every year from AIDS.
Scientists and educators around the world work to
prevent HIV infection by teaching people about the
disease.
Fighting AIDS
New drugs work to slow the progress of the disease
by preventing HIV from reproducing.
Many of these drugs have serious side effects and
are very expensive.
Fighting AIDS
Scientists are working on a vaccines to protect
people from HIV, but it will likely take many years to
develop.
The best weapon in the fight against HIV and AIDS
so far has been knowledge.
Abstinence and HIV
People who inject illegal drugs face the dangers of
getting diseases.
People who engage in sexual activity are exposing
themselves to STDs.
The only 100 percent sure way to avoid getting HIV
is to avoid contact with sources of this virus.
Abstinence and HIV
If you are pressured to use injectable drugs or have
sexual activity, talk to your parents or guardians right
away.
Stay away from people who encourage you to make
dangerous choices.
Abstinence and HIV
Abstinence can
save your life.
