Failing to clean sex toys can lead to the spread of STDs. Re-infection with a sexually transmitted infection via a sex toy is possible, though the risk of this decreases over time since the lifespan of most organisms that cause STDs are relatively short outside of the body. Transmission can occur from person to person when sex toys are shared, or a person could re-infect themselves if the toys are not cleaned properly. To prevent transmission of and STD via sex toys, be sure to clean them after every use, and always use a condom on things used for penetration, such as dildos and vibrators. True False

True

There are five different organisms that are responsible for causing sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). One of these organisms, ______ is unicellular and has the capability of cloning itself in a process called binary fission. Another infectious agent responsible for several STDs is the ______ , which is a sub-microscopic organism that replicates only inside living cells. The term ______ refers to an organism that is dependent on a blood meal from a human host for their survival, such as lice and mites that attach or burrow into the skin. Candida albicans is a type of ______ that most commonly infect the oral cavity and the genitals. Lastly, ______ is a type of single-cell eukaryotic organism that lives in humans, for example, trichomonas vaginalis.

bacteria virus ectoparasite fungi parasitic protozoa

Nicknamed the "silent" disease, ______ since most people infected are asymptomatic. This is one of the most common STDs with nearly 3 million new infections yearly. When symptoms do occur, they may involve pain and burning with urination, abnormal discharge from the penis, vagina, or anus. If left untreated can lead to sterility, PID, and in case of pregnancy, an ectopic pregnancy. ______ most common STD with about 79 million Americans currently infected and about 14 million new infections per year. This STD is so common that it is estimated that most sexually active people will contract this at some point in their lives. This infection is relatively harmless, sometimes warts develop known as condyloma. There are, however, six strains that have been associated with the development of cancer. Therefore, it is recommended to get regular pap smear tests of the cervix and/or anus, and to get vaccinated, Gardasil is one example of such a vaccine. Symptoms generally begin 2-14 days after initial infection with ______ and include flu-like symptoms such as pain in the buttocks, swollen glands, and maybe a fever. Fluid-filled blisters form that will eventually dry up and heal. The first outbreak tends to be the most severe, sub-sequent outbreaks tend to produce fewer symptoms and tends to be shorter in length. Most people never develop visible blisters, hence one of the reasons it continues to transmit. An overgrowth of ______ may result in a yeast infection. The infection is most common in the vaginal tract but can also take form in the back of the mouth, then referred to as thrush. Penile candidiasis may also occur but is rare. Symptoms include abnormal vaginal discharge that has a consistency similar to cottage cheese, white slightly raised areas in the mouth, and a whitish substance on the head of the penis and foreskin.
