HIV and syphilis are among the most hazardous sexually transmitted infections. These diseases often have no symptoms, meaning that people may be unaware of their diagnosis and continue to infect their partners.
Without timely diagnosis and treatment, HIV leads to AIDS, and syphilis affects the heart, vessels, and nervous system, causing irreversible complications. That is why early detection of HIV and syphilis is crucial: the earlier the infection is detected, the more effective the treatment and the higher the chance of preserving health and life.
HIV
A disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which primarily targets the human immune system. Without treatment, HIV progresses and leads to AIDS. HIV destroys the immune system, making a person vulnerable to infections that are not usually hazardous to healthy people.
Tracks of HIV transmission
- Sexual contact
- Through blood - using infected needles (for injections, tattoos, piercings)
- From mother to child - during pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding.
Symptoms:
The first signs may appear 2-4 weeks after infection.
The symptoms are often similar to those of the flu:
- fever, headache, sore throat
- swollen lymph nodes, skin rashes, mouth ulcers
- weakness, night sweats, loss of appetite and weight
Latent stage:
- The virus continues to multiply, but the person may feel normal. This period can last an average of 8-10 years without treatment.
AIDS:
The final stage of HIV infection. At this stage, the virus destroys the immune system so severely that the body almost ceases to defend itself against disease.
- A common cold or fungal infection, which in a healthy person would go away in a few days, can become prolonged in a person with AIDS and lead to serious complications.
- Rare infections (such as Pneumocystis pneumonia, tuberculosis, cytomegalovirus) appear, which are almost never seen in people with normal immunity.
- The body cannot control the growth of atypical cells, which increases the risk of certain types of cancer (e.g., Kaposi's sarcoma, lymphoma).
In the early stages, HIV is easily under control. Antiretroviral therapy suppresses the viral load to an undetectable level, which eliminates the risk of developing AIDS and allows you to live a full life.
Syphilis
A chronic infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. It affects the skin, mucous membranes, nervous system, internal organs, and even the musculoskeletal apparatus.
Transmission routes
- Sexually
- From mother to child during pregnancy (congenital syphilis)
- Through contact with everyday objects - rare
Syphilis develops in stages. Without treatment, the disease progresses through four stages:
Incubation period
- Lasts on average from 2 weeks to 2 months, when the bacteria multiply but there are no symptoms
Primary stage
- A chancre appears at the site of infection (genitals, anus, mouth, hands) - a painless ulcer with smooth edges
- Often accompanied by enlarged LTRs in the groin, armpits, neck, and a feeling of general weakness
- The ulcer may heal in 3-6 weeks even without treatment, but this does not mean recovery - the infection continues to develop
Secondary stage
A few weeks after the chancre disappears, the following appear:
- Rash on the palms, feet, body;
- "Venus's necklace" - a rash on the chest and neck;
- Painful ulcers in the mouth and on the lips;
- Fever, headache, muscle and joint pain, weakness, cough, runny nose, conjunctivitis;
- Hair loss, enlarged lymph nodes
Latent form
- The disease remains hidden for years, without symptoms, but continues to affect internal organs
Tertiary stage
- Neurosyphilis (damage to the nervous system) and visceral syphilis (internal organs) may develop;
- Symptoms include: yellowing of the skin and eyes, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, muscle and joint pain, cough, heart problems.
Complications:
Without treatment, syphilis can lead to serious consequences:
- Damage to the nervous system - impaired coordination, memory, vision, possible stroke and other neurological problems
- Chronic diseases of internal organs (liver, heart, brain)
- Vision loss, strokes, severe liver damage, and neurological disorders.
Gonorrhea
An infectious disease caused by gonococci (Neisseria gonorrhoeae). Most often, the organs of the genitourinary system are affected, but forms affecting the eyes, mucous membranes of the nose, mouth, pharynx, and rectum are also possible.
Main transmission route:
- Sexual contact
- Infection during childbirth
Symptoms:
In women:
- Often minimal
- If symptoms are present - purulent or mucopurulent discharge from the urethra or vagina, itching and burning in the indoor genital area
- Painful urination or sexual intercourse, pulling sensations in the lower abdomen
- Possible inflammation of the vulva, Bartholin's glands, cervicitis (journal), salpingo-oophoritis
In men:
- Purulent discharge from the urethra, burning and itching along the urethra, pain during urination and sexual intercourse, frequent urge to urinate
- Aching pain in the perineum radiating to the rectum
Complications:
- Infertility in both sexes
- Urethral stricture in men
- Premature birth, miscarriage
Chlamydia
An infectious disease transmitted primarily through sexual contact.
Young people who are sexually active, but not always in a LTR, are most often affected.
Symptoms:
Chlamydia often goes unnoticed.
- Aching pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen
- Unpleasant-smelling discharge from the genitals;
- Itching and burning during or immediately after urination;
- Heightened temperature up to 37 °C;
- In women - increased pain during menstruation, intermenstrual bleeding;
- In men - bloody discharge during ejaculation;
Complications:
In women:
- inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs;
- chronic lower abdominal pain;
- heighten risk of infertility;
- ectopic pregnancy.
In men:
- inflammation of the testicles and their appendages;
- reduced fertility in severe cases.
In both cases, chlamydia can cause inflammatory lesions of the joints and eyes, and also increases the risk of HIV infection.
Mycoplasmosis
An inflammatory reaction caused by the activity of mycoplasma. Most of them live peacefully on the mucous membranes, but when immunity is reduced and other factors come into play, they begin to multiply and cause inflammation, especially in the genitourinary or respiratory systems.
The most common causes of infection are:
- unprotected sexual intercourse,
- frequent change of sexual partners.
Symptoms:
- Pain during urination, mucopurulent discharge in the area of inflammation - urethra, vagina
- In men: itching or burning in the urethra, pain in the scrotum
- In women: itching, pain in the lower abdomen or pelvic area, bloody discharge outside or after menstruation, discomfort during sexual intercourse
Complications:
- Infertility
- Premature birth, fetal abnormalities
- Inflammation of the tubes and uterine lining
Ureaplasmosis
A conditionally pathogenic microorganism without a cell wall. It parasitizes in the cells of the genitourinary system, breaks down urea into toxic ammonia, and can attach itself to spermatozoa and erythrocytes.
Symptoms:
In women:
- Urethritis - frequent and painful urge to urinate, feeling of “incomplete” emptying.
- Vulvovaginitis - swelling, redness of the mucous membrane, watery discharge, which intensifies with exertion
- Inflammation of the journal, endometritis, salpingitis
In men:
- Begins with urethritis: scanty mucous discharge, itching, frequent urination.
- Later - prostatitis, epididymitis, balanoposthitis may develop
Complications:
- Risk of premature birth, inflammation, cysts, polyps, endometritis
Gardnerellosis
A disease that occurs when the balance of the vaginal microflora is disturbed. Normally, the concentration of Gardnerella bacteria should be minimal, as they affect the production of hydrogen peroxide and lactic acid.
Symptoms:
- grayish-white vaginal discharge with an unpleasant odor;
- itching and burning during urination.
Causes:
- unfavorable environment;
- unprotected sexual intercourse with different partners;
- lack of fermented milk products and an unbalanced diet;
- excessive use of antibiotics;
- intrauterine contraception, synthetic underwear
Trichomoniasis
A disease caused by the single-celled protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis. In its latent form, a person may be unaware of the disease and infect their partners. Without treatment, trichomoniasis progresses and leads to serious complications.
Symptoms:
People with strong immune systems may not experience any symptoms, but the infection remains.
Acute trichomoniasis is accompanied by:
- frequent, painful urination, spasms, and sharp pain;
- itching and burning in the genital area;
- profuse foamy, mucopurulent discharge in women and men.
Complications:
- in men - possible epididymitis, prostatitis, and reduced fertility;
- in women - inflammation of the pelvic organs, infertility, premature birth;
- in newborns - risk of brain abscess and neonatal pneumonia.
Candidiasis
An infection caused by yeast-like fungi of the genus Candida (Candida albicans). These microorganisms are normally present on the skin and mucous membranes, but when the immune system is weakened, they begin to multiply, causing inflammation and a characteristic white coating or cottage cheese-like discharge.
The main types of candidiasis are:
- Superficial - affects the skin, mucous membranes, nails, and oral cavity.
- Invasive (deep) - affects internal organs and systems, including the blood, brain, heart, and bones
- Urogenital candidiasis - the most common manifestation: in women - curd-like discharge, itching, burning; in men - itching and swelling of the head or foreskin
Symptoms of urogenital candidiasis:
- In women - cottage cheese-like discharge, itching, burning, pain during urination and during sexual intercourse
- In men - itching, redness and swelling of the head of the penis, white coating, discomfort during sexual intercourse or urination
Cytomegalovirus
A virus from the herpesvirus family (type 5) that can cause chronic infection. It enters the body's cells and remains there for LTR. In healthy people, it is most often asymptomatic, but in those with weakened immune systems, an active form with severe symptoms may develop.
Cytomegalovirus is transmitted through various biological fluids: saliva, blood, semen, vaginal secretions, urine, tears, and breast milk.
Symptoms:
- The incubation period is 15 days to 3 months.
- Primary infection is often asymptomatic or presents as a mild acute respiratory infection: weakness, low-grade fever (37.1–38 °C), sore throat, runny nose, enlarged lymph nodes, headache, loss of appetite.
- In rare cases, the following may occur: enlargement of the liver and spleen, hepatitis, dermatitis, vasculitis, pneumonia, thrombocytosis, lymphocytosis.
Complications:
- Acute forms can cause hepatitis
- Risk of premature birth, miscarriage
- Herpes I, II types
Infection caused by the herpes simplex virus. It is most often associated with HSV-1 (oral form) and HSV-2 (genital form).
The virus remains in the body forever and can become active when immunity is reduced or other adverse conditions arise.
Symptoms:
- Herpes is most often asymptomatic, but when activated, itching, burning, tingling, and redness appear, and groups of blisters form on the lips, mucous membranes of the mouth, genitals, and other areas of the skin.
- The blisters may merge to form large vesicles, which burst and form painful erosions covered with a crust, later leaving pigmentation.
- In the genital form, the inguinal lymph nodes often enlarge. People with weakened immune systems may experience general symptoms such as fever and weakness.
HSV-2 increases the likelihood of HIV infection and has oncogenic properties.
