Video Learning Notes
Students learned about the various ways STDs/STIs are transmitted, including sexual contact and sharing needles. They examined real data showing the prevalence of these infections among teens and identified common signs and symptoms of several STDs/STIs. Importantly, they understood that some infections may not show symptoms initially, which is why prevention and testing are critical. The lesson emphasized that abstinence is the only 100% effective method to avoid the risks associated with sexual activity.
Learning Goals
- Describe the different ways STDs/STIs can be transmitted from one person to another.
- Identify how common STDs/STIs are among teens by examining county, state, and federal data sources.
- List the signs and symptoms of common STDs/STIs such as HPV, HIV/AIDS, chlamydia, syphilis, gonorrhea, herpes, and trichomoniasis, and explain why some infections may not show symptoms initially.
