Document Summary
Highest age group is 15-24 highest incidence rate. Infection chain concept that is used to explain how any infection is transmitted. We look at what is the reservoir where we can find the microorganism often the reservoir is only the human body for sti, this is usually the case. From the reservoir we have a portal of exit for an sti, it is through the bodily fluids that are from the reproductive tracts. We then have a mode or method of transmission we have to come into contact with someone elses" reproductive system. We then have a portal entry usually the reproductive system there are some exceptions to that. We then have a host that will be infected with the microorganism or agent of disease. When we talk about reproduction we talk about infection reproductive, active guest of organisms. When we talk about disease, we talk about the signs and symptoms of the disease.
