OK, so It's a funny word - but what is
puberty, anyway? Puberty (say: pvoo-bertee) is the name for the time when your body begins to develop and
change as you move from kid to adult. We're talking about stuff like
girls developing breasts and boys starting to look more like men,
During puberty, your body will grow faster than at any other time in
your life, except for when you were a baby,
of
Health Problems of
Grown-Ups
It helps to know about the changes that puberty causes before they
happen, That way, you know what to expect. It's also Important to
remember that everybody goes through these changes. No matter
where you live, whether you're a boyar a girl, whether you like
vanilla or double-fudge-chunk ice cream, you will experience them.
No two people are exactly alike, but one thing everyone has in
common is that we all go through puberty.
Usually, puberty starts between ages 8 and 13 in girls and ages 10
and 15 in boys. This wide range in ages may help explain why some
of your friends still look like young kids whereas others look more
like adults.
The Rockettc!s:
Eating H(mlthy
Before the Show
When your body is ready to begin puberty, your pituitary (say: plhtoo-uh-ter-ee) gland (a pea-shaped gland located at the bottom of
your brain) releases special hormones. Depending on whether
you're a boyar a girl, these hormones go to work on different parts
of the body.

A lot of changes happen as you grow up,
especially as you reach puberty (say: pyoobur-tee), the name for the time when your body begins to develop
and change. Girls start developing breasts and get their periods signs they are growing Into women. But how do boys know they are
growing into men? Let's find out.
For a guy, there isn't just one event or sign that you're growing up.
There are lots of them, including your body growing bigger, your
voice changing, and hair sprouting everywhere. Most boys begin
puberty between the ages of 9 and 14. But keep in mind that
puberty starts when a boy's body is ready, and everyone grows at
his own pace.
Here are some of the questions boys have.
Why Are Girls Taller Than Me?
You might have noticed that some of the girls you know are taller
than the boys. But you've probably noticed that out of the adults
you know, most of the men are taller than the women. What's
going on?
Well, girls get a head start on puberty - and growing taller because they usually start these changes between the ages of 8
and 13. Most boys, on the other hand, don't begin until between
the ages of 9 and 14. So that's why girls are often taller than boys
during that time.
Rockettest
Healthy
the Show
Most boys may catch up - and even grow taller than girls. But it's
also important to remember that your genetics playa role in height.
So If your mom and dad are tall, you're more likely to be tall. And if
your mom and dad are kind of short, you may be short, too. But
nothing is definite.

You have to wait and see how It turns out, but you can also talk to
a doctor if you're concerned. Remember - not every adult male is
tall. Many men who are considered "short" have gone on to have
careers in the movies, the military, and even professional
basketball !

There aren't any exercises or magic pills to make you grow tall. But
by being active and eating nutritious foods, you're helping your
body grow up healthy, just the way it should.

Ever wonder how the universe could allow
the existence of someone as annoying as
your bratty little brother or sister? The answer lies in reproduction.
If people - like your parents (ew!) - didn't reproduce, families
would die out and the human race would cease to exist.
Reproduction

matter. But even though the
reproductive system is essential

other body systems, it's not
essential to keeping an individual alive.

-----F:)'

In the human reproductive process, two kinds of sex cells, or
gametes (pronounced: gah-meetz), are involved. The male
gamete, or sperm, and the female gamete, the egg or ovum,
meet in the female's reproductive system to create a new
Individual. Both the male and female reproductive systems are
essential for reproduction. The female needs a male to fertilize her
egg, even though it is she who carries offspring through pregnancy
and childbirth.
Humans, like other organisms, pass certain characteristics of
themselves to the next generation through their bienes, the special
carriers of human traits. The genes that parents pass along to their
children are what make children similar to others in their family, but
they are also what make each child unique. These genes come from
the father's sperm and the mother's egg, which are produced by
the male and female reproductive systems.

More Than a Funny Word

PUT~~n(HttP[t;:Ih
OK, so it's a funny word ... but what is
puberty, anyway? Puberty is the name for when your body begins
to develop and change. During puberty, your body will grow faster
than any other time in your life, except for when you were an
infant. Back then, your body was growing rapidly and you were
learning new things - you'll be doing these things and much more
during puberty. Except this time, you won't have diapers or a rattle
and you'll have to dress yourself!
It's good to know about the changes that come along with puberty
before they happen, and it's really Important to remember that
everybody goes through It. No matter where you live, whether
you're a guy or a girl, or whether you like hip-hop or country music,
you will experience the changes that occur during puberty. No two
people are exactly alike. But one thing all adults have in common Is
they made it through puberty.
Time to Change
When your body reaches a certain aqe, your brain releases a special
hormone that starts the changes of puberty. It's called
gonadotropin-releasing hormone, or GnRH for short. When GnRH
reaches the pituitary gland (a pea-shaped gland that sits just under
the brain), this gland releases into the bloodstream two more
puberty hormones: luteinizing hormone (LH for short) and felltelestimulating hormone (FSH for short). Guys and girls have both of
these hormones in their bodies. And depending on whether you're a
guy or a girl, these hormones go to work on different parts of the
body.
For guys, these hormones travel through the blood and give the
testes the signal to begin the production of testosterone and sperm.
Testosterone Is the hormone that causes most of the changes in a
guy's body during puberty. Sperm cells must be produced for men
to reproduce.
In girls, FSH and LH target the ovaries, which contain eggs that
have been there since birth. The hormones stimulate the ovaries to
begin producing another hormone called estrogen. Estrogen, along
with FSH and LH, causes a girl's body to mature and prepares her
for pregnancy.
So that's what's really happening during puberty - it's all these
new chemicals moving around Inside

Puberty usually starts some time between age 8 and 13 in girls and

What Is It?
Abstinence is not having sex. A person who
, decides to practice abstinence has decided not to have sex.
How Does It Work?
Jf two people don't have sex, then sperm can't fertilize an egg and
there's no possibility of a pregnancy. Some forms of birth control
depend on barriers that prevent the sperm from reaching the egg
(such as condoms or diaphragms). Others Interfere with the
menstrual cycle (as birth control pills do). With abstinence, no
barriers or pills are necessary because the person is not having sex .
. You don't have to be a virgin to practice abstinence. Sometimes
people who have been having sex decide not to continue having
sex. Even if a person has been having sex, he or she can still
choose abstinence to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted
diseases (STOs) in the future.
How Well Does It Work?
Abstinence is 100% effective in preventing pregnancy. Although
many birth control methods can have high rates of success if used
properly, they can fail occasionally. Practicing abstinence ensures
that a girl won't become pregnant because there's no opportunity
for sperm to fertilize an egg.

Some Methods Work Better Than
Others
Some birth control methods work better than others, The chart on
the following page compares how well different birth control
methods work,
The most effective way to prevent pregnancy is .a.bs~iIH~nce,
However, within the first year of committing to abstinence, many
couples become pregnant because they have sex anyway but don't
use protection, So It's a good idea even for people who don't plan to
have sex to be informed about birth control.
l'V\lIking
,il ~;hange
~;r;':~~:;:"
"~~~~";;:"l~';;;~~;;

;.'~~<
Couples who do have sex need to use birth control properly and
every time to prevent pregnancy, For example, the chart below
shows that the birth control pili can be effective In preventing
pregnancy, But if a girl forgets to take her birth control pills, then
this is not an effective method for her, Condoms can be an effective
way to prevent pregnancy, too, But if a guy forgets to use a
condom or doesn't use it correctly, then It's not an effective way for
him to prevent pregnancy,
For every 100 couples using each type of birth control, the chart
shows how many of these couples will get pregnant within a year,
The information shown is for all couples, not just teenage couples,
Some birth control methods may be less effective for teen users,
For example, teenage girls who use fertility awareness (also called
the rhythm method) may have an even greater chance of getting
pregnant than adult women because their bodies have not yet
settled into a regular menstrual cycle,
We list the effectiveness of different birth control methods based on
their typical use rates, Typical use refers to how the average person
uses that method of birth control (compared to "perfect" use, which
means no mistakes are made in using that method),
For us to consider a birth control method completely effective, no
couples will become pregnant while using that method, Very
effective means that between 1 and 2 out of 100 couples become
pregnant while using that method, Effective means that 2 to 12
out of 100 couples become pregnant while using that method,
Moderately effective means that 13 to 20 out of 100 couples
become pregnant while using that method, Less effective means
that 21 to 40 out of 100 couples become pregnant while using that
method, And not effective means that
40 out of 100

In addition to preventing pregnancy, abstinence and condoms
provide some protection against sexually transmitted diseases
(STDs) . However, most other birth control methods do not provide
much protection against STDs, so condoms should also be used.

Sexually transmitted diseases (also known
as STDs - or STIs for "sexually transmitted
infections") are Infectious diseases that spread from person to
person through Intimate contact. STDs can affect guys and girls of
all ages and backgrounds who are having sex - it doesn't matter if
they're rich or poor.
Unfortunately, STDs have become common among teens. Because
teens are more at risk for getting some STDs, It's Important to learn
what you can do to protect yourself,
M,alti
a Chan
STDs are more than just an embarrassment. They're a serious
health problem. If untreated, some STDs can cause permanent
damage, such as infertility (the Inability to have a baby) and even
death (In the case of HIV/AIDS).
How STDs Spread
One reason STDs spread is because people think they can only be
infected if they have sexual intercourse. That's wrong. A person can
get some STDs, like herpes or genital warts, through skln-to-skln
contact with an infected area or sore.
Another myth about STDs is that you can't get them If you have
oral or anal sex. That's also wrong because the viruses or bacteria
that cause STDs can enter the body through tiny cuts or tears in
the mouth and anus, as well as the genitals.
STDs also spread easily because you can't tell whether someone
has an Infection. In fact, some people with STDs don't even know
that they have them. These people are in danger of passing an
Infection on to their sex partners without even realizing it.
Some of the things that increase a person's chances of getting an
STD are:
• Sexual activity at a young age. The younger a person starts
having sex, the greater his or her chances of becoming infected
with an STD.
• Lots of sex partners. People who have sexual contact - not
just intercourse, but any form of Intimate activity - with many
different partners are more at risk than those who stay with the
same partner.
19-/
White Plains - Westchester County 078
• Unprotected sex, Latex condoms are the only form of birth
control that reduce your risk of getting an STD, and must be
used every time, Spermicides, diaphragms, and other birth
control methods may help prevent pregnancy, but they don't
protect a person against STDs,

AIDS is a life threatening disease caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, or
HIV. HIV makes it difficult for the body to fight off infections. There is no cure for AIDS.
However, there are new treatments that can slow down its progression.
There are about 42 million people in the world who have HIV or AIDS. In the United
States, about 1 million people have HIV or AIDS. More than 3 million people die each
year from AIDS-related illnesses.
This reference summary is about HIVand AIDS. First it describes the HIV infection
and how that turns into AIDS. This information packet stresses risk factors, screening
and prevention. Symptoms and treatment are also reviewed.
What is HIV?
HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. When a person has HIV it means the HIV virus is in
his or her body.
When a person has AIDS it means HIV has made it so the body cannot fight off
infections. The person may get infections or tumors that the body can no longer fight
off.
Since AIDS is an advanced form of an HIV infection, everyone who has AIDS also has
HIV. HIV causes AIDS.

The body depends on the immune system to fight infections the same way it depends
on the digestive system to digest food. The immune system also keeps some types of
cancer from taking over the body. With no immune system, a person would die from a
simple infection such as a cold or flu.
If we think of the immune system as an army fighting infections, white blood cells are
the soldiers. They are called lymphocytes. There are special lymphocytes called CD4
helper lymphocytes. They coordinate the immune system's attack on foreign
organisms.
As HIV infects the body, it destroys CD4 helper lymphocytes by using them to make
copies of itself. This causes the immune system to not work well. HIV stands for
Human Immunodeficiency Virus. "Immuno" means the immune system and "deficiency"
means lacking.
Lymphocytes and HIV fight each other for years. Each day the body makes billions of
CD4 cells and the HIV uses them to make even more of its own copies. In most
people, the HIV eventually wins the battle. However, new medications can make it
difficult for HIV to win.
After a person is infected with HIV, the number of CD4 cells goes down. A normal
count is 600 to 1500 per cubic millimeter of blood. When the count drops below 200,
the body's immune system cannot work well at all. With a CD4 count below 200, a
simple infection could cause a lot of trouble because the body cannot fight it off.
After getting HIV, when does a person have AIDS? There is no clearcut answer but doctors agree that a person has AIDS if he or she has
HIVand BOTH of the following happen:
• The CD4 helper lymphocyte count is 200 or less
• He or she has a serious infection or cancer because the
immune system could not fight it off

Some AIDS patients die shortly after being diagnosed, while others live 12 more years
or longer. Fortunately, patients with AIDS are living longer as new treatments are
discovered.
Without treatment, a person with AIDS could die from a
simple infection. Viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites can
cause infections.
Infections caused by bacteria include:
• Tuberculosis (TB)
• Mycobacterium Avium Complex (MAC)
• Salmonellosis
Tuberculosis, or TB, usually affects the lungs. However, people with HIVare more
likely to have TB in other places on the body. People with HIV can get TB regardless of
their CD4 lymphocyte levels.
Mycobacterium Avium Complex, or MAC, is caused by a group of bacteria called MAC.
These bacteria usually cause an infection in the respiratory tract.
Salmonellosis is a bacterial infection that passes into the body from contaminated food
or water.
Infections caused by viruses include:
• Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
• Viral hepatitis
• Herpes simplex virus (HSV)
• Human papilloma
• Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy
(PML)
Herpes simplex virus
Cytomegalovirus, or CMV, is a common herpes virus many healthy adults have in their
bodies. However, it usually stays inactive. In people with HIV, it can become active and
affect the eyes, digestive tract, lungs or other organs. If not treated, CMV can lead to
blindness.
Viral hepatitis is a liver infection. There are several types including hepatitis A, B and
C. Viral hepatitis can cause failure of the liver, also known as cirrhosis. If the liver fails,
a person dies.

There are 2 types of herpes simplex viruses, or HSV. Type 1 causes cold sores. Type
2 causes genital herpes.
Human papillomavirus, or HPV, is a very common sexually transmitted disease. Some
types of this virus cause common warts. Others cause genital warts.
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy,
or PML, is a serious brain infection.
Infections caused by fungi include:
• Candidiasis
• Cryptococcal meningitis
Candidiasis is a common infection. It causes a thick, white coating on the mucous
membranes of the mouth, tongue, esophagus or vagina. Cryptococcal meningitis
causes inflammation of the membranes and fluid around the brain and spinal cord.
Infections caused by parasites include:
• Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP)
• Toxoplasmosis
• Cryptosporidiosis
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, or PCP, attacks the lungs. This makes it difficult for
the person to breathe. Toxoplasmosis causes serious and deadly brain lesions.
Toxoplasmosis is a parasite spread mostly by cats.
Cryptosporidiosis is caused by an intestinal parasite usually found in animals. It is
passed to humans through contaminated food. The parasite grows in the intestines
and bile ducts and can cause severe diarrhea that does not go away.
HIVaiso makes the body helpless against certain types of cancer. People with HIVare
more likely to develop cancers such as:
• Kaposi's sarcoma
• Cervical cancer
• Non Hodgkin's lymphoma
Kaposi's sarcoma is a tumor of the blood vessel walls. It can also affect the internal
organs including the digestive tract and lungs and often affects the skin.

Cervical cancer is cancer of the cervix. The cervix is the opening that separates the
vagina from the uterus. Non Hodgkin's lymphoma is cancer that starts in the
lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are white blood cells.
Infection
Anyone can get HIV. A person with HIV can give it to another person through blood,
semen, vaginal fluid or breast milk. HIV is not transmitted through saliva, sweat, spit,
tears, air or insects.
There are different amounts of HIV in various
bodily fluids. The highest amounts of HIVare
in blood.
The most common way to get HIV is through
unprotected sex - sex without a condom. If a
person has HIV, the virus is in their blood and
semen or vaginal secretions. It could enter
another person's body through tiny cuts or
sores on the skin or the lining of the vagina,
penis, rectum or mouth.

Infection - Facts
•
Between 1j,¡ and % of untreated pregnant women who have HIV
give it to their babies during pregnancy or delivery. However, if
a pregnant woman with HIV gets treatment for HIV while she is
pregnant, her baby has up to % less chance of getting HIV. If
she gets treatment and has a Caesarean section, the chance of
passing it to her baby is even less.
•
Tattoo equipment can transfer HIV if not sterilized. If the person
giving a tattoo does not sterilize the equipment, the person
getting the tattoo could get HIV if the equipment is
contaminated from previous use on someone with HIV.

A razor can transfer contaminated blood. If a person with HIV shaves and cuts
him or herself, it will contaminate the razor. If another person uses the same
razor to shave with, he or she could get HIV.
•
A healthy person cannot get HIV by using the same toilet seat as an infected
person. HIV is not transmitted through sweat or urine.
•
HIV can be transmitted through semen and blood during anal intercourse. Anal
sex is even more hazardous than vaginal sex in
transmitting HIV. Anal sex is likely to cause tears in

Open-mouthed kissing with an infected person is not recommended. If there are
any cuts or sores in the mouth, blood exchange could pass the virus to the
uninfected person. Exchange of only saliva is not enough to transmit HIV.

Sharing a swimming pool is not a known risk for getting HIV.
•
HIV can spread through oral sex. Since semen carries HIV, the virus can spread
through the lining of the mouth. There is more chance of it spreading if the
mouth has any cuts or sores.
•
HIV can spread through blood transfusion during surgery if any of the blood is
contaminated. If a person receives a transfusion of contaminated blood, he or
she can get HIV. However, since 1985 all donated blood is screened for HIV in
the United States. It would be extremely rare to get HIV through a blood
transfusion in the United States.
In sub-Saharan Africa, there were 3 million new HIV infections in 2003 and 2.3 million
AIDS deaths. This is the area of the world most severely affected by AIDS. AIDS is
also growing fast in China, India, Indonesia, Russia, Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
If you have to have a blood transfusion overseas, have an HIV screening when you
come back to the United States.

Symptoms
The symptoms of HIVand AIDS vary from person to person. This section discusses
the symptoms according to the following stages.
• When a person first gets H IV
• Early H IV stage
• Late H IV stage
• Early Al DS stage
Most people do not notice if they get HIV. Some people who get the virus may
develop a brief flu-like illness 2 to 6 weeks after becoming infected. However, since
these symptoms are similar to a cold or flu, they go unnoticed.
During the early stages of HIV, a battle rages between CD4 cells and HIV for 8 or 9
years without being noticed. Most people with HIV do not have symptoms in the early
stages. Eventually, this stage ends with mild infections or chronic
symptoms such as:
Swollen lymph nodes - often one of the first signs of HIV infection
• Diarrhea
• Weight loss
• Fever
• Cough
• Shortness of breath
During the late HIV stage, more serious symptoms may start to appear such as:
• Persistent, unexplained fatigue
• Soaking night sweats
• Shaking chills or fever higher than 1000 F for several
weeks
• Swelling of lymph nodes for more than 3 months
• Chronic diarrhea
• Persistent headaches
AIDS develops when an infected person starts having opportunistic infections infections that do not usually infect people with a healthy immune system. The signs
and symptoms depend on the type of infection.

People with HIV may develop AIDS in much less than 10 years or they may never
develop AIDS. Progression of HIVand AIDS varies a lot from person to person.
Scientists are still trying to figure out why.
Diagnosis
If you think you may have HIV, you can easily get tested to find out if you have it.
The screening test for HIV checks for HIV
antibodies in the blood. The body makes HIV
antibodies to fight the virus. Since it usually takes
6 to 12 weeks for the body to make these
antibodies, the test cannot be positive if done
earlier than 6 weeks after an infection.
')
I
If an HIV test is positive, it is repeated. If the
second test is also positive, there is another test that checks for HIV proteins in the
blood. If that test is positive, a person is then diagnosed with HIV.
After diagnosing a person with HIV, the doctor uses a test to measure the amount of
HIV in the blood. This is called a viral load. The higher the viral load is, the faster AIDS
will probably develop. Viral load determines the suggested treatment.
If you engage in high risk behavior, such as unprotected sex or sharing needles for
intravenous drug use, get tested for HIVevery 3 to 6 months. Your test can be
confidential or anonymous.
Most states require that you sign a consent form before having an HIV test. This
guarantees that nobody can check you for HIV without you knowing.
A confidential test means that if you test positive, the results will be reported to your
state health department, but will not be given to anyone else without your permission.
An anonymous test is where your name is not recorded and no one besides you can
ever learn the test result. Not all states have anonymous tests, but most provide
confidential tests.
If you are pregnant, you may want to get tested even if you think you are not at risk. If .
you are HIV positive, treatment with antiretroviral drugs during your pregnancy could
greatly reduce the chances of you passing the infection to your baby.

Treatment
Right now there is no cure for AIDS. However, treatment is available to slow its
progression and improve the quality of life.
The treatment for AI DS focuses on suppressing the growth of the virus and improving
the patient's quality of life. This is called Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy, or
HAART. This is usually a combination of 3 or more drugs.
AIDS treatment is based on the levels of HIV in the blood, called the viral load. Viral
loads are tested at the beginning of treatment and then every 3 to 4 months during
treatment. In some cases viral loads are tested even more often.
Drugs used for treatment include antiretrovirai drugs and fusion inhibitors.
Antiretroviral drugs slow down the growth and reproduction of HIV. Fusion inhibitors
stop the virus from reproducing by preventing its membrane from fusing with the
membrane of the CD4 lymphocytes.
Prevention
There is no vaccine to prevent HIV infection and no cure for AIDS. However, it is
possible to protect yourself and others from infection by following 4
simple rules.
Rule #1 - Do not share needles or syringes.
Regardless of what they are used for - injecting drugs, steroids,
vitamins, for tattooing or body piercing - they should not be shared.
Also, do not share equipment (or "works") used to prepare drugs for
injection.
Rule #2 - Do not have unprotected sex.
A surefire way to avoid getting sexually transmitted diseases is to
be in a long term, monogamous relationship with a healthy partner.
For people whose sexual behaviors put them at risk for STDs,
always using a male latex condom correctly can reduce the risk.
Remember: no form of protection works 100% of the time.

More than 20 years ago, doctors in
the United States Identified the first
cases of AIDS In San Francisco and
.. New York. Now there are an
estimated 42 million people living with HIVor AIDS worldwide, and
more than 3 million die every year from AIDS-related illnesses.
AIDS is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
HIV destroys a type of defense cell in the body called a CD4 helper
lymphocyte (pronounced: Ilm-fuh-slte). These lymphocytes are
part of the body's immune system, the defense system that fights
infectious diseases. But as HIV destroys these lymphocytes, people
with the virus begin to get serious infections that they normally
wouldn't - that is, they become Immune deficient. The name for
this condition is acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
As the medical community learns more about how HIV works,
they've been able to develop drugs to inhibit It (meaning they
Interfere with its growth), These drugs have been successful in
slowing the progress of the disease, and people with the disease
now live much longer. But there is stili no cure for HIVand AIDS.
Hundreds of U.S. teens become
infected with HIV each year. HIV
can be transmitted from an
infected person to another person
through blood, semen (also
known as "cum," the fluid
released from the penis when a
male ejaculates), vaginal fluids,
and breast milk.
The virus is spread through highrisk behaviors including:
• unprotected oral, vaginal, or
anal sexual Intercourse
("unprotected" means not
using a condom)

virus from her before birth, during the birthing process, or from
breastfeeding, If doctors know an expectant mother has HIV, they
can usually prevent the spread of the virus from mother to baby, All

Sexually Transmitted Diseases
Reference Summary
Introduction
Sexually transmitted diseases, or STOs, are some of the most
common infectious diseases in the United States.
There are more than 20 STOs, the most deadly being the HIV
virus. Other sexually transmitted diseases include syphilis,
gonorrhea, and chlamydia.
This reference summary reviews some common STOs and how
they can be diagnosed, treated, and prevented.
Causes of sros
An infectious disease is a disease that can be passed from one person to another.
Sexually transmitted diseases are a category of diseases that are spread via sexual
activities, such as vaginal intercourse, oral sex, or anal sex.
Sexually transmitted diseases are caused by one of 3 types of organisms.
Parasites: Parasites are very small animals that get nourishment from the person they
infect. The infected person is called the host. Pubic lice, also called crabs, are an
example of sexually transmitted parasites.
Bacteria: Bacteria are organisms made of one cell. They cling together to feed from
the body of their host. Gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, and chancroid are examples of
sexually transmitted bacteria.
Viruses: Viruses are complex molecules that can multiply when they invade the cells of
their host. H IV, herpes, and hepatitis are examples of sexually transmitted viruses.
Usually infections that are caused by a virus cannot be cured, but in some cases they
can be controlled.
Parasitic infections can be treated with medications or over-the-counter
drugs.
Bacterial infections can be treated with antibiotics.

Common Viral STOs
Three of the most common STOs that are caused by viruses are AIDS, genital herpes,
and genital warts. This section discusses each of them in greater detail.
AIDS is a sexually transmitted disease that is caused by the HIV virus. The HIV virus
destroys the body's ability to fight off infection. The HIV virus spreads primarily during
sexual activity. It also spreads through shared needles used by intravenous drug
users.
People who have AIDS have a weak immune system and
their body cannot fight off disease very well. Early signs
include extreme tiredness and fever. During later stages of
AIDS, pneumonia or cancer may develop, which can
ultimately lead to death.
There is no cure for AIDS, but there are medications that can
sometimes keep it somewhat under control and slow its
progress.
Genital herpes affects about 60 million people in the United States.
virus, or HSV, causes herpes infections.
\¡
Herpes simplex
The main sign of herpes is painful blisters or open sores in the genital area. Before
these show up, the person may feel a tingling or burning sensation in the genital
region, legs, or buttocks. In women, herpes sores could be hidden inside the vagina.
Some women may not even know that they are infected!
Herpes sores usually disappear within 2 to 3 weeks, but the virus remains in the body
forever and the lesions may come back from time to time.
If genital herpes lesions are severe or if they frequently recur, they can be treated with
prescription medications. These drugs help control the symptoms but do not eliminate
the herpes virus from the body.
Human papillomavirus, or HPV, causes genital warts. This virus is related to the virus
that causes common skin warts. At first, genital warts are usually small, hard, painless
bumps in the vaginal area, on the penis, or around the anus. If untreated, the warts
may grow and develop a fleshy, cauliflower-like appearance.

In addition to causing genital warts, certain HPV viruses can cause cancer of the cervix
and other genital cancers. There now is a vaccine available to try to prevent HPV
infections in women.
Genital warts are treated with a topical drug that is applied right on the skin. They can
also be treated with cryosurgery, which is freezing with a very cold probe.
If warts come back, interferon injections may be given. Interferon is a medication that
may help kill the warts by boosting the patient's immune system and by interfering with
the replication of the virus inside the human cells. Large warts can be removed with
surgery.
Common Bacterial STOs
Three of the most common STOs that are caused by bacteria are chlamydia,
gonorrhea, and syphilis. This section discusses each of them in greater detail.
Chlamydia is caused by bacteria. It is the most
common bacterial STD.
In both men and women, chlamydial infection can
cause an abnormal genital discharge and burning
during urination. If chlamydia goes untreated in
women, it may lead to pelvic inflammatory disease,
which can cause a woman to become infertile or to
have ectopic pregnancies.
I
Bactel'ia
I
An ectopic pregnancy is when the fetus attaches itself to the inside of the Fallopian
tube instead of the uterus. Since the Fallopian tube does not have room for a fullgrown fetus, the tube becomes swollen. This causes severe pain and the tube could
actually rip apart.
Sometimes ectopic pregnancies have to be terminated surgically, which scars the
Fallopian tubes and decreases the chances of the woman becoming pregnant again.
A procedure like this also increases the chance of more ectopic pregnancies.
It is common for people with chlamydia to have few or no symptoms of infection.
Chlamydia can be treated with antibiotics.

Bacteria also cause gonorrhea.
•
•
The most common symptoms of gonorrhea are:
Discharge from the vagina or penis
Painful or difficult urination
The most common and serious complications of gonorrhea occur in women. They
include pelvic inflammatory disease, increased risk of ectopic pregnancies, and
infertility.
New powerful antibiotics can be used to treat gonorrhea.
Syphilis, like gonorrhea and chlamydia, is also caused by bacteria.
Syphilis may go undetected at first because symptoms usually start
out very mild and can disappear suddenly. The earliest symptom
is a painless, open sore that may appear:
• On the penis
• Around or in the vagina
• Near the mouth
• Near the anus, or
• On the hands
If untreated, syphilis may advance to more serious stages. A
temporary rash develops at first, but eventually the heart and central nervous system
may become infected. The full course of the disease can take years. Penicillin is the
most effective drug used to treat syphilis.
Parasitic STOs
The most common STO that is caused by parasites is called
pubic lice, or crabs.
Pubic lice infect pubic hair and live by sucking blood. They are
spread through sexual activity but can be passed from clothing or
objects, such as toilet seats and bed blankets.
Pubic lice cause the infected person to itch as the lice suck blood.
The lice do not produce a rash, but scratching the skin constantly
could cause irritation as the skin becomes raw. In addition, some people have an
inflammatory skin reaction to the lice's bite.

The lice can be seen by the naked eye upon close inspection. With a magnifying lens,
the eggs can be seen; they are usually attached to the base of pubic hairs.
Pubic lice can be treated and destroyed with one application of a prescription
medication or with over-the-counter shampoo.
In pregnant women, STOs can cause:
• Spontaneous abortion
• Low birth weight
• Premature birth
• Permanent neurological damage to the newborn
Symptoms & Diagnosis
If you are at risk of being infected with STOs, you should have regular checkups for
STOs, even if you do NOT notice symptoms. These tests can be done during a routine
visit to your doctor's office. This is particularly important when you begin a new sexual
relationship.
You should also learn to recognize common symptoms of STOs. Seek medical help
immediately if any suspicious symptoms develop, even if they are mild. These
symptoms may include:
• Burning in genital area
• Itching in genital area
• Oischarge from the urethra or the vagina
• Sores in genital, anal or oral areas
• Warts in genital or anal areas
• Lumps in genital or anal areas
• Foul smell from genital area
• Painful bowel movements
Since many STOs do not have symptoms that are easy to recognize, sexually active
people should have regular medical check ups.
Many symptoms, like sores, rashes, and discharges, come and go. If the symptoms
disappear, it does not mean that the person is cured. Many viruses sleep and reattack from time to time.

A medical check-up consists of a detailed sexual history, as
well as a detailed medical examination. The exam includes
a thorough check of the genital area, oral cavity, and
rectum. Many STOs can involve the mouth or rectum,
especially when oral and anal sex are practiced. Swabs
from open sores or discharges may be taken and tested for
various microorganisms.
-, <,
(~_j
~
Women will have a pelvic examination. Swabs from inside the vagina and the cervix
may be taken to check for infections. The swab from the cervix is similar to a Pap
smear.
Urine test and blood tests may also be done to check for diseases such as AIDS and
syphilis.
If your doctor tells you that you have an STD, you need to let your sexual partner
know. This will give them the opportunity to get tested and treated. If you do not tell
your sexual partner, they will be at risk of serious sickness and you will risk being reinfected. Open communication about STDs is a difficult part of a sexual relationship.
However, it is needed to help stop the transmission of these diseases.
Treatment & Prevention
The treatment recommended by the doctor depends on the diagnosed STD. Infections
caused by bacteria and parasites are usually treated with antibiotics. Syphilis,
gonorrhea, chlamydia, chancroid, and trichomonas are treated this way.
STDs caused by viruses usually cannot be cured. Medical treatment aims at keeping
them under control, but even that may not be very successful. These diseases include
HIV, herpes, hepatitis and human papillomavirus. If you never take part in any kind of
sexual activity, there is essentially no risk of getting an STD. However, AIDS and other
STDs can be transmitted by sharing IV needles.
If you have only one sexual partner who has had no other sexual partners, there is
virtually no risk of getting infected with STDs, as long as you do not engage in nonprotected anal sex.
If you or your sexual partner has sex with many people, you are at risk of being
infected with STDs. Your risk of getting an STD is higher when:
• There are more sexual partners involved.

Illegal drug habits are involved.
You know very little about your partner's sexual history.
The following are 7 tips that can help prevent STOs:
1. Correctly and consistently use a male condom. Condoms
are not a 100% guarantee, but they greatly reduce the risk of
getting STOs.
2. If, along with a condom, you use a lubricant it should be a
non-ail-based lubricant, such as water or K-Y jelly. Oil-based
lubricants such as petroleum jelly (Vaseline), lotions, or massage or baby oil,
should be avoided because they can weaken the condom material.
3. Wash your genital area with soap and water after sex. This may flush away
parasites, such as pubic lice and other germs.
4. Urinate after sex. This could wash away some germs that have entered the
urinary catheter.
5. Avoid having sex during menstruation. Women who have HIVare more
infectious and women who do not have HIVare more susceptible to STOs during
this time.
6. Avoid douching because it removes most of the normal protective bacteria in the
vagina and increases the risk of getting STOs.
7. Avoid anal intercourse. If it is preferred, use a male condom. The rectum and
anus bear a great deal of germs; these germs can cause STOs in both men and
women. The mouth, female genitalia, or male genitalia should NOT be exposed
to any object or body part that has been in contact with the anus or rectum.
Summary
STOs are some of the most common infectious diseases. Not only can they cause
sores and foul smelling discharge, they can lead to serious complications, such as liver
failure, cancers, neurological problems and death!
Preventing STOs is possible by following simple sexual hygiene.
The higher the number of sexual partners you have and the less
you know about their sexual and drug habits, the higher your risk
of getting an STO is.
Thanks to advances in medicine, most STOs caused by bacteria
and parasites can be cured and their complications limited if
treated EARLY.

STDs caused by viruses can sometimes be controlled. However, to benefit from
treatment, people who have sex with more than one partner should learn to recognize
the symptoms and have regular medical checkups.

From fertílîzation until the end of the eighth week of pregnance,
the developing cells are called an embryo. From the start of
the ninth week until birrh, the developing cells are called a
fetus. The distinction between an embryo and a fetus is made
because by the ninth week, all major organs have started to form.
For the mother, the pregnancy is divided into three specific time
periods called trimesters. Each trimester is abolit 3 months, or
13 weeks, long. Development during pregnancy is described in
Figure 11.
While a ferus is inside its mother, it receives nutrition and
oxygen through its umbilical cord. The umbilical cord is attached
to what becomes the ba by's "bellybutton." The other end of the
umbilical cord is attached to the placenta. The placenta is a
tempotaryorgan
attached to the inside wall of the mother's
uterus during pregnancy. Nurríenrs and oxygen pass through the
placenta from the mother's blood to the ferus. Waste products
flow from the fetus's blood across rhe placenta to the mother.

How pregnancy (conception) occurs
Most women are able to become pregnant from QUQ~,
when their menstrual cycles begin, until menopause,
when their cycles stop. A pregnancy starts with fertilization, when a woman's egg joins with a man's sperm.
Fertilization usually takes place in a falloQiall.1lJ~ that links an ovary to the uterus. If the fertilized egg
successfully travels down the fallopian tube and implants in the uterus, an embryo starts growing.
Ovulation, fertilization, implantation
All the eggs for a woman's lifetime are stored in her ovaries. Women do not continually produce eggs. This is
different from men, who continuously make more sperm.
About once a month, flll..e.99J5E1ßs.l;;>ßQ from one of a woman's two ovaries. This is called ovulation. The egg then
enters the nearby fallopian tube that leads to the uterus.

If a woman and a man have unprotected sexual intercourse, sperm that is ejaculated from the man's penis may

The egg takes several days to travel down the fallopian tube into the uterus. Once in the uterus, a fertilized egg
usually attaches to (implants
in) the lining of the uterus (?DººrrLc;¡trillrn).
However, not all fertilized eggs
successfully implant. If the egg is not fertilized or does not implant, the woman's body sheds the egg and the
endometrium. This shedding causes the bleeding in a woman's

During the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle, the lining of the uterus thickens to prepare for pregnancy. An
egg becomes ready to be released inside a sac (follicle) on the surface of an ovary. During the luteal phase, the
egg is released (ovulation). If the egg is fertilized by sperm, it may attach to (implant In) the lining of the uterus,
and pregnancy begins. If the egg is not fertilized or does not implant, the lining of the uterus is shed during the
menstrual period (below), and the cycle starts over

and Periods
Menstruation (a period) is a major stage of puberty in girls; it's one
of the many physical signs that a girl is turning into a woman. And
like a lot of the other changes associated with puberty,
menstruation can be confusing. Some girls can't walt to start their
periods, whereas others may feel afraid or anxious. Many girls (and
guys!) don't have a complete understanding of a woman's
reproductive system or what actually happens during the menstrual
cycle, making the process seem even more mysterious.
When girls begin to go through
puberty (usually starting
between the ages of 8 and 13),
their bodies and minds change In
many ways. The hormones in
their bodies stimulate new
physical development, such as
growth and breast development.
About 2 to 2'12 years after a girl's
breasts begin to develop, she
usually gets her first menstrual
perlad.
About 6 months or so before
getting her first period, a girl might notice an increased amount of
clear vaginal discharge. This discharge is common. There's no need
for a girl to worry about discharge unless It has a strong odor or
causes Itchiness.
The start of periods Is known as Ill,?,ll,i),I'C,ll'"Menarche doesn't
happen until all the parts of a girl's reproductive system have
matured and are working together.

2. Hardy Girls Healthy Women
Hardy Girls Healthy Women is a girl's group resilience model developed in 2005 by
researchers at Colby College in Maine. The group is based on the importance of
developing "hardiness" in girls, described as people who continue to strive in stressful
circumstances. Hardiness begins to define areas of knowledge, skills and support that an
individual can develop to resist and transform stresses. The group is designed to create a
safe and supportive space for girls to develop ideas, to take action on issues that really
matter to them and to experience the challenge of changing their schools and
communities for the better.

3. PEARLS (People Empowered the Address Real Life Situations)
The PEARLS curriculum was developed to help prevent middle school and high school
students from becoming the victims or the perpetrators of violence, and to sensitize them
to the needs of others who have been victimized. PEARLS contains six core lessons that
address issues of violence, trauma, and victimization, and seven modules that address
specific types of violence. These lessons can be accomplished in six weeks or can be
adapted to a longer time period. In addition to raising awareness and addressing issues
and concerns about victimization, PEARLS aims to prevent future violence by helping
youth to develop decision-making and problem-solving skills. This curriculum addresses
the impact of physical, emotional and social violence and increases students' skills in
addressing each of these.
PEARLS is psycho-educational and is facilitated by a leader rather than taught.
Facilitators must bear in mind that, even though they will present factual information,
their role is primarily to stimulate and guide discussion on topics with strong emotional
content. For this reason, they must listen actively to group members, take note of themes
that reveal students' underlying concerns, establish and maintain parameters of safety,
question and encourage discussion among members, and model appropriate
communication skills. Following the flow of discussion and responding to the needs of
the group are always more important than completing all of the tasks outlined in the
lesson plan, should the facilitator run out of time.
PEARLS is designed to be facilitated by service providers who are knowledgeable about
group dynamics, adolescent development and general prevention and intervention
strategies. Social workers, counselors, health professionals, guidance counselors,
community-based-organization workers, and teachers with training in these areas are all
good candidates to be facilitators. Due to the emotional nature of the curriculum, the
facilitator must attend to both what the students say and how they say it. Instructors need
to tailor each activity and role-play to make them compelling and realistic for the
particular students who are participating.
After each activity or discussion, facilitators must allow time for students to share their
feelings and think through what has happened. One simple processing approach is the
EIAGModel:
Experience: participate in the activity
Identify: discuss the feelings brought up by the activity
Analyze: determine what these feelings mean and what can be learned from the activity
Generalize: connect this activity to what is happening in the group or in their everyday
lives.
Finally, instructors must also remember that groups go through predictable stages. The
power of a group experience to impact its members is heightened when interventions are
timed to meet the developmental stage of the group. Therefore, PEARLS is organized

according to four discrete stages of group growth. Lessons are ordered chronologically so
that their subject matter and activity demands are appropriate for a group at that stage of
growth. The PEARLS Modules can be introduced as needed or presented after the core
lessons.
Lesson One: Introduction and Ground Rules
Lesson One introduces the facilitator and curriculum to the students, sets ground rules
that promote respect and safety throughout the program, and works to establish trust
among the students. This lesson also demonstrates that the curriculum is different from
many other classes in that it is entirely interactive.
Lesson Two: Exploration of Violence
Lesson Two introduces the definitions of violence and victimization. The lesson
highlights that violence is a learned behavior and explores the impact of violence on
victims, perpetrators, and communities
Lesson Three: Power and Control
Lesson Three addresses the role of power and control in relation to various forms of
violence. It helps students to explore the larger societal issues that are connected to power
and control (e.g., race, gender, class, and sexual identification).
Lesson Four: Impact of Trauma
Lesson Four moves from understanding the sources of violence to understanding its
impact. It introduces the concept of trauma, its various causes, and how it can affect
individuals, families, and communities. It also helps students understand the emotional
and physical impact of violence on victims of crime or other traumatic situations, and
differentiate between supportive and unsupportive responses.
Lesson Five: Coping and Communication
Lesson Five addresses how to take care of ourselves when we or someone we care about
is impacted by violence. It explores safety strategies that can be used to reduce the
likelihood of being crime victims.
The following two lessons were adapted and developed by WJCS for delivery at
White Plains High School
Lesson Six: Healthy Relationships
Lesson Six promotes healthy relationship qualities including respect and communication.
It allows students to explore character traits they would want to support a healthy dating
relationship. The lesson also starts to look at abusive behaviors and how to identify
them.
Lesson Seven: Cyberbullying
Lesson Seven looks at the growing issue of cyberbullying. The students are able to
understand what cyberbullying is, how it affects people and what they can do to help.
