Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Program STD data tables and maps Related links STD services in Nebraska The goal of Nebraska's Sexually Transmitted Disease Program is to control and prevent sexually transmitted diseases and reduce the burden and cost of these infections. The program assists state, local, and community efforts to help prevent the spread of chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis, and other STDs. Confidentiality and surveillance STD reports are strictly confidential. In Nebraska, as in most states, syphilis; gonorrhea; HIV/AIDS ; and chlamydia are reported to the appropriate health department. Laboratories and health care providers provide the health department with information for controlling and preventing sexually transmitted diseases. Prompt reporting and accurate identification is important: for clients that may need treatment, for identifying sex partners who may be infected, and for monitoring disease trends. Intervention and prevention activities Health professionals interview infected people to identify, locate, and treat sex partners, to ensure proper treatment, and to provide information to help prevent reinfection.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD's) The term "sexually transmitted disease" (STD) is relatively new and has replaced the term "venereal disease." This shift in terminology serves to expand awareness of a greater number of infectious diseases transmitted through sexual contact. There are more than 20 STDs, including AIDS Chlamydia Herpes , and other organisms and syndromes. Every year millions of STDs are passed from person to person, primarily through sexual contact. Many people feel uncomfortable talking about STDs and try not to think about them, hoping they will go away. Sometimes infections will go away, but usually an STD will return and the infected person will suffer grave consequences of an untreated STD. Transmission of STDS The organisms which cause these diseases (except for crabs and scabies ) usually enter the body through mucous membranes, such as the warm, moist surfaces of the vagina, urethra, anus, and mouth. STDs can be caught through intimate contact with someone who is infected, especially during oral, anal, or vaginal sex. Some infections are also transmitted nonsexually. Sexually active college-age men and women are at the highest risk for contracting STDs. Basically, if you have sexual contact with someone who is infected with an STD, you are likely to develop the infection as well. Lesbians are much less likely than heterosexuals, or bisexual or gay men to get an STD because most STDs are not transmitted easily between women.

BBC News Online provides details of the most common forms. Gonorrhoea: Gonorrhoea is a serious illness caused by an organism called Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It has an incubation period of only a few days. Males experience a discharge from the urethra - the tube that carries urine from the bladder and out through the penis - causing painful urination, while females suffer infection of the urethra and cervix. Women who are infected have a long term risk of serious complications, such as infertility or ectopic pregnancy. However, it is possible to be infected with gonorrhoea without showing any obvious symptoms. Women are particularly vulnerable to this asymptomatic form of the disease. The condition can be treated with antibiotics. However, it is becoming resistant to some drugs. Chlamydia: Chlamydia is caused by the bacteria chlamydia trachomatis.

Search September 9, 2005 Registration Healthcare Professionals You are in: Sexually Transmitted Diseases Sexually Transmitted Diseases Sexually Transmitted Diseases Overview Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are among the most common infectious diseases in the United States today. More than 20 different STDs have been identified, and 13 million men and women are infected each year in the United States. Depending on the disease, the infection can be spread through any type of sexual activity involving the sex organs or the mouth; the infection can also be spread through contact with blood during sexual activity. STDs affect men and women of all ages and backgrounds. STDs have become more common, partly because young people are becoming sexually active at a younger age and are having multiple partners. People can pass STDs to sexual partners even if they themselves do not have any symptoms. Frequently, STDs cause no symptoms, especially in women. Health problems from STDs tend to be more severe for women than for men. Some STDs can cause pelvic infections that may lead to scarring of the reproductive organs, which can result in an ectopic pregnancy (a pregnancy outside the uterus) and infertility for women.
