- 6. DISEASES • Chlamydia- a very small parasitic bacterium that, like a virus, requires the biochemical mechanisms of another cell in order to reproduce • Gonorrhea- a venereal disease involving inflammatory discharge from the urethra or vagina. • Genital herpes-a disease characterized by blisters in the genital area, caused by a variety of the herpes simplex virus. • Genital warts- a small growth occurring in the anal or genital areas, caused by a virus that is spread esp. by sexual contact. • Syphilis-a chronic bacterial disease that is contracted chiefly by infection during sexual intercourse, but also congenitally by infection of a developing fetus. • HIV-The human immunodeficiency virus is a lentivirus that causes the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome • Vaginitis-inflammation of the vagina.
