CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.0 Background of the Study
Gonorrhea infection, also called sexually transmitted infection, any disease (such as gonorrhea, or a genital form of herpes simplex) that is usually or often transmitted from person to person by direct sexual contact. It may also be transmitted from a mother to her child before or at birth or, less frequently, may be passed from person to person in non-sexual (such as in kissing, in tainted blood transfusion, or in the use of unsanitized hypodermic syringes), sexually transmitted diseases usually affects initially the genitals, the reproductive trait, the urinary tract, the oral cavity, the anus, or the rectum but may mature in the body to attack various organs and systems (Infectious diseases).
Syphilis gonorrhea
Sexually transmitted disease have a long history. The best known of these disease, syphilis, is caused by the bacterium triponemapallidum. Syphilis was first widely reported by European writers in the 16th century, and some medical historians assume that it was imported into Europe by explorers returning from the new world. Other authorities believe that syphilis is of ancient origin and may at one time have been mistakenly identified as leprosy. At any rate, syphilis first became widely recognized and reported in the late 1490s, when a virtual epidemic swept through Europe. (Guatemala syphilis experiment).Urethristis is the infection and inflammation of the urethra. Most cases of urethritist that is caused by the gonococcus bacterium (Neisseria gonorrhoeae) is a called gonorrhea. Gonorrhea was named by the Greek physician Gralen and is thought to have been known to the ancient Chinese and Egyptians.
Syphilis and gonorrhea were long thought to be one disease. Real progress in characterizing them did not occur until the early 20th century, when the different causative microorganism were identified and reliable diagnosis tests were developed.
Herpes
A diseases that became especially widespread beginning in the 1960s and 70s was genital herpes. Herpes infection are significant not only in terms of the discomfort they cause but also for the potentially serious illness that might occur in infants born to mothers with genital herpes infections.
Gonorrhea infection, a disease that caused a greatest alarm in the late 20th century. It was clearly identified in 1981, The cause of spread rapidly, with reported cases of infection rising at a high rate, especially among homosexuals and intravenous drug users in the united states and western Europe and among heterosexuals in tropical Africa.
Chlamydia
About half of all cases of urethritis that are not gonorrhea are chlmaydia, which is caused by an infection with Chlamydia trachomatis. Trichomoniasis is an infection of the urogenital tract. Cause by a protozoan, trichomonasvaginalis, males usually have no symptoms with this infection, and only a portion of infected females have a vaginal discharge.
Candidiasis (yeast infection) is caused by candida alba cans, which produces in women a thick, whitish vaginal discharge and causes irritation and itching in the genital area. Males may have irritation of the glans or skin of the penis. Because this yeast is ubiquitous in the environment, these infections are met always sexually acquired.

In addition, the economic consequences of sexually transmitted diseases are substantial (Tom 1985).
