10. Concept Exploration

11. At the end of the lesson, learners should be able to; • Understand the importance of preventing sexually transmitted infections (STIs); • Identify common STIs; and • Learn preventive measures to maintain sexual and reproductive health.

12. Introduction to Sexually-Transmitted Infections (STIs) Sexually-transmitted infections (STIs) are infections that are spread through sexual contact. They can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites, and can have serious health consequences.

13. Common types of STIs Chlamydia One of the most common STIs, it often has no symptoms, but can lead to serious complications if left untreated. Genital Herpes This STI is caused by the herpes simplex virus and results in painful sores on the genitals. Gonorrhea It can infect both men and women and cause infections in the genitals, rectum, and throat.

14. Symptoms and signs of STIs 1 Unusual discharge STIs may cause unusual discharge from the genitals, including color, consistency, or odor changes. 2 Pain or discomfort Painful urination or discomfort during sexual activities can be signs of an STI. 3 Rash or sores Presence of sores, bumps, blisters, or rashes on or around the genitals. 4 Flu-like symptoms Fever, body aches, and swollen lymph nodes are symptoms of certain STIs.

15. Transmission and prevention of STIs Transmission STIs are generally spread through vaginal, oral, or anal sex, and in some cases, through skin-to-skin contact. Prevention Using condoms consistently, getting vaccinated when available, and having open communication with partners are essential for prevention.

16. Testing and diagnosis of STIs Testing Testing involves urine samples, blood tests, swabs, or physical examinations. Diagnosis STIs are diagnosed by healthcare professionals through various tests to identify the specific infection.

17. Treatment options for STIs Medication Antibiotics, antivirals, or antiparasitic drugs are often prescribed based on the type of STI. Partners’ Treatment It's important for sexual partners to seek treatment to prevent reinfection and further spread of the STI.

18. Abstinence as an effective preventive measure Maintaining Health Choosing abstinence is an effective way to prevent the transmission of STIs and maintain good health. Empowering Decisions Abstinence empowers individuals to make choices that prioritize their well-being and safety.

19. Condom use and its role in reducing STI transmission Barrier Method Condoms act as a barrier, effectively reducing the risk of STI transmission during sexual activity. Promoting Safe Practices Encouraging condom use promotes safe sexual practices and reduces the spread of STIs.

20. Vaccination for HPV and its benefits Preventing Infection Vaccination against HPV significantly reduces the risk of contracting this sexually transmitted infection. Cancer Prevention HPV vaccination plays a key role in preventing cervical and other cancers associated with HPV infection.

21. Importance of preventive measures 1 Promoting Safe Practices Encouraging safe sexual practices is crucial in preventing the spread of STIs. 2 Reducing Health Risks Preventive measures can significantly reduce the potential health risks associated with STIs. 3 Protecting Future Generations Effective prevention helps in safeguarding the health of future generations.

22. Valuing

23. Activity: Role Playing Direction: Divide students into three (3) groups and assign each group a scenario related to STIs and preventive measures.

24. Journal Writing

25. Activity: Write Me Up! Direction: Reflect on what you have learned about Sexually-Transmitted Infections, sexual and reproductive health and STI prevention.
