Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease in
which 36,000 cases were reported in 2006. It
is often called "the great imitator" because
the symptoms of often difficult to
differentiate from other diseases. There are
three stages; the primary, secondary and late
and latent stages. Symptoms that include
sores rash, headaches, weight loss, fatigue,
and sore throat, to name a few, often occur
in the primary and secondary stages. During
the late and latent stages the symptoms seen
in the primary and secondary stages will
disappear and an infected person will began
to have damage to internal organs potentially
resulting in paralysis, gradual blindness and
dementia. Although it is most often
transmitted through sexual contact, it can be
passed an unborn baby through the mother
possibly resulting in infant death. The
presence of soles on sexual organs also
increases the chances of transmission of HIV
and other sexually transmitted diseases.
Although syphilis has the potential of
infecting any age group, our target audience
for this P.S.A. will be men and women under
30. The most effective way to prevent
transmission during sexual contact is through
the use of condoms (Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention).
