Virus del Papiloma Humano Genital: La Realidad

This pamphlet provides information about genital human papillomavirus (HPV). It notes that this is the most common sexually transmitted virus in the US and that most people who have the disease do not know it, as they may not have symptoms. It explains how the disease is transmitted, the symptoms and health effects of HPV, and focuses on important knowledge about HPV for both men and women. Women are warned that some types of HPV can cause cervical cancer in women, but that a woman can protect herself by getting regular Pap tests and early treatment for problems that could turn into cancer.

This report summarizes trends in cephalosporin susceptibility among N. gonorrhoeae isolates in the United States during 2000--2010 using data from the Gonococcal Isolate Surveillance Project (GISP). During that period, the percentage of isolates with elevated minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) to cephalosporins (=0.25 µg/mL for cefixime and =0.125 µg/mL for ceftriaxone) increased from 0.2% in 2000 to 1.4% in 2010 for cefixime and from 0.1% in 2000 to 0.3% in 2010 for ceftriaxone.

Sexually Transmitted Infections among Young Americans

This infographic, in the form of an information sheet, highlights the impact, causes, and consequences of STDs among young people – and what they can do to protect themselves.

CDC estimates that youth ages 15-24 make up just more than 25 percent of the sexually active population, but account for half of the 20 million new STIs that occur in the United States each year. The infographic provides statistics on gonorrhea, chlamydia, HPV, genital herpes, HIV, and syphilis.
