What do vaccines protect against? Vaccines protect us against infectious diseases. Diseases are an interruption, cessation, or disorder of body functions, systems, or organs (Merrill, Timmreck, 2006). Vaccines aid the immune system when warding off infectious diseases. Passive immunity involves the transfer of antibodies to one person produced by another person (Merrill, Timmreck, 2006). Passive immunity is not considered a vaccine but can help in fighting short-lived infections. Passive immunity
eukaryotic organism and secrets proteins that help the bacteria infect other organisms. T3SS activity is often seen as a requirement for many pathogenic bacteria to infect their hosts cells – such bacteria include E. coli, Salmonella, Yersinia, and Chlamydia. Much like in the first paper, the researchers’s analysis of the biosynthetic pathway helped them identify the gene cluster that led to the production of the T3SS, giving more insight into how the mechanism worked and how to suppress
A sexually transmitted infect, STI, is transmitted through sexual contact, viruses, parasites, and/or bacteria. Studies show that 120 percent of the people in the United States have an STD. 50 percent of sexually active youth will contract an STD when they are 25 years old and 320 percent of high school girls already have the infection. (3) Although HIV is the least common case, in 2013, an estimated 47,165 people in the United States were diagnosed with HIV. About 1 in 6 people do not know they
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection that can infect both men and women equally. The infection is found most commonly within the youth between ages fifteen and twenty-four years old. It can cause infections to the throat, male and female genitalia, and the rectum. Gonorrhea can be spread through sexual contact. Oral, anal, and vaginal sex are all ways to be infected if one was to have unprotected sex with another person. A woman who is pregnant and becomes infected with gonorrhea can possibly
Today I received my "Deal Closers Only" hat from Man Outfitters. As a guy working the grind of sales, being a member of DCO Nation is a no-brainer, because closing deals is a lifestyle. Gotta be on that business 24/7. Needless to say I was thrilled to finally get my hat in the mail, but I can't lie that it was bittersweet timing to open that box. The dark side of deal closing life is that even the best of the best don't lock it down every time. Shooters shoot, but even Steph Curry clanks one every

more serious condition that can occur from untreated BV is Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID). According to the CDC, “Pelvic inflammatory disease is an infection of a woman’s reproductive organs. It is a complication often caused by some STDs, like chlamydia and gonorrhea. Other infections that are not sexually transmitted can also cause PID”. (CDC, 1999) PID can cause women to lose reproductive abilities or make it very difficult for pregnancy to occur. This leads to another serious risk of BV. Pregnant
or older. If you are 30-65, you can get both a Pap test and HPV test every 5 years. Older than that, you may be able to stop testing if your doctor says you are low risk. If you are sexually active and have a higher risk for STDs, get tests for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis yearly. Take an HIV test at least once, more frequently if you’re at risk. Don't skip your yearly checkup. Your doctor needs to annually assess many other issues such as potential infection, your need for contraception, and
mentioning the famous Sigmund Freud and his psychoanalytic theories using his “Fives Stages of Psychosexual Development”. Also, as we began to discuss Sexually Transmitted Diseases, I was in shock to actually learn how the Bacterial Vaginosis, Chlamydia, Genital Herpes, Gonorrhea, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Lymphogranuloma Venereum (LGV), Pubic Lice (Crabs), Scabies, Syphilis, Trichomoniasis and, Yeast Infections and other disease are left raw most of the time or how many
Many people do not understand the meaning of abstinence. Some believe that abstinence is not having vaginal intercourse but they can enjoy other kinds of sex play that don't lead to pregnancy mostly known as outercourse. Some people believe that abstinence is not having vaginal intercourse when a woman might get pregnant.
