• Hepatitis B and C - These viruses can cause long-term liver damage, ultimately causing cirrhosis and liver failure; they also increase the risk of liver cancer.
• Gonorrhea - Most cases are limited to the genital tract, causing a discharge and local irritation, but there is a more serious, widespread form called disseminated gonococcal infection, or DGI that causes rash, fever and arthritis. In addition, women with gonorrhea are at risk for pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), a serious infection of the internal genital organs that can lead to pain, widespread infection, infertility and even death.
• Chlamydia - Complications from chlamydia can cause PID (as above)
• Syphilis - Syphilis can progress to a chronic ("tertiary") form; over years it can damage internal organs, including the spinal cord and brain, ultimately causing death.
• Human papilloma virus (HPV) - Although it causes genital warts and is rarely dangerous on its own, infection with HPV can lead to cervical cancer, which can be fatal if not detected and treated.
• Genital herpes - Mothers can transmit this infection to a newborn, causing serious illness and organ damage; there is no cure for herpes and while it rarely causes aserious illness itself, this viral infection can make it easier for HIV to be passed between sexual partners.
