gonorrhea symptoms time :: Article Creator Infectious Diseases: The Trouble With Gonorrhea TIME March 8, 1963 12:00 AM GMT-5 Doctors have been disappointed more than once in their high hopes of eradicating gonorrhea with wonder drugs, but last week the U.S. Public Health Service reported that before the end of 1963 the anti-gonorrhea campaign may be made vastly more effective. This time it is not a new drug that is arousing new hope, but an improved and speedier way of detecting the disease. No Immunity. Though gonorrhea is less dramatic than syphilis in its crippling and death-dealing powers, it is not to be taken lightly. It not only produces painful symptoms, but also can cause sterility, blindness in the newborn, crippling arthritis and fatal heart disease. And to public health crusaders trying to stamp out all venereal disease, gonorrhea presents some special problems. It is twice as prevalent as syphilis in the U.S., with about 250,000...

first signs of stds in females :: Article Creator 7 Dangerous STDs With No Warning Signs Many common sexually transmitted diseases can lurk in the body without causing obvious signs, leading to delayed treatment and increased transmission The idea that sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) always announce themselves with uncomfortable or visible symptoms is a dangerous misconception that health experts are working to correct. Research shows that millions of Americans currently have STDs without experiencing any noticeable symptoms, creating a silent epidemic that contributes to the rising rates of infections nationwide. The invisible threat explained Many people assume they would know if they contracted an STD through obvious signs like unusual discharge, genital sores, or painful urination. The reality, however, is far more complicated. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), several of the most common STDs can remain c...

symptoms of hiv infection include :: Article Creator Why Early HIV Detection Could Add Decades To Your Life Remember when an HIV diagnosis felt like a death sentence? Those days are gone. Modern medicine has transformed HIV from a fatal disease to a manageable chronic condition. But there's a catch that doesn't make headlines. The timing of your diagnosis can dramatically shape your entire journey with HIV. Early detection isn't just helpful. It might be the most critical factor in determining your quality of life for decades to come. The invisible window that matters most HIV operates like a silent invader. It can live in your body for years without triggering noticeable symptoms. During this quiet phase, the virus isn't sleeping. It's actively damaging your immune system, cell by cell, creating a head start that becomes increasingly difficult to overcome. This creates a critical window of opportunity. Catch HIV early, an...

signs of hiv positive man :: Article Creator The Truth About Rapid HIV Tests The truth about fast testing for HIV. Rapid-result HIV tests have been on the market for a while. Here are a few things to know if you're thinking about getting tested. There isn't a test that can tell you if you have HIV immediately after an infection. It takes about 3 to 12 weeks for your body to show signs of HIV that would register in a rapid test. But if enough time has passed, the rapid tests are quick and easy. The easiest rapid test is one you do at home. The FDA has only approved one quick-results self-test for HIV. After swabbing your cheek and using the test kit, you should have results in about 20 minutes. If you'd rather be tested by a medical professional, labs and clinics offer rapid tests that also come with a consultation. Many of these tests are free. A negative result from a rapid test could mean you don't have HIV or that it's too ...

hiv symptoms go away :: Article Creator What Are The Symptoms Of Seroconversion? Key points The symptoms of recent HIV infection are the same in men and women. A flu-like illness may appear within a month of infection. The most common symptoms are fever, swollen glands, muscle aches and tiredness. Once infected with HIV, the virus takes hold in your body by multiplying rapidly. Your immune system responds by producing antibodies in response to the virus. This period is known as seroconversion. Antibodies appear within one to two weeks and will continue to increase in the months after infection. Seroconversion takes place within three weeks in the majority of infected individuals. Seroconversion is often, but not always, accompanied by a flu-like illness. This happens in at least half of the people infected with HIV, but may happen in as many as 80-90% of all infections. Symptoms typically appear within a month of infection and tend to g...
