SEXUALLY-TRANS
MITTED DISEASES
A NATIONAL DISGRACE
Allin R. Mifie, Ph.D., M.P.H.
And they call it love? Noth
ing can be farther from the
truth. Premarital sex, “cheat
ing” in marriage, open mar
riages, “living together,”
homosexuality all contribute
to the worldwide epidemic of
sexually transmissible dis
eases.
Actual numbers of affected
individuals are hard to deter
mine. Some 10 million cases of
sexually-transmissible dis
eases occur each year in the
United States. Most of these
cases occur in young people
between 15 and 29. These
diseases present a significant
health problem. The most
common are trichomoniasis,
gonorrhea, non-gonococcal
urethrities (NGU), genital
herpes, and syphilis.
While most of the diseases
may cause itching, burning,
and discharge, often they are
present without any symp
toms. However, some—and
perhaps all—of these diseases
can lead to serious complica
tions.
In young women, for in
stance, the spread of infection
of gonorrheal bacteria within
the reproductive organs or
abscess in the pelvic cavity is
the leading cause of sterility
and infertility. Gonorrhea is
also responsible for painful
inflammation of the bone
joints (arthritis) in young
adults. 6

Genital herpes, occurring as
painful sores like the common
cold-sore blisters one experi
ences around the mouth, can
cause crippling nerve damage
in a newborn infant infected
as it passes through the birth
canal.
In the same way, syphilis
threatens the life of an infant
who picks up the infection
within its mother's womb. Un
treated disease in adults leads
to serious organ and tissue
damage, leaving many blind
and insane.
Sexually-transmissible dis
eases are difficult to control.
Feelings of guilt and shame
are a great hindrance to seek-
“? proper care. And now
some of our chemical wea
pons, particularly the antibio
tics, are becoming less effec
tive as treatments.
However, the most effec
tive control would be an un
derstanding of the proper role
of sex, reserving it for rela
tionships built on love—a
mutual and lasting friendship.
