○ Sexually transmitted infections
■ Transmitted by sexual contact
■ Many of the sexually transmitted infectious microbes specialize in living
on moist tissue surfaces (e.g., Chlamydia, Gonococcus, and Herpes
simplex).
■ Other sexually transmitted diseases are transmitted when there is blood
to blood contact during sex e.g., HIV, Hepatitis B, & Hepatitis C.
○ Blood borne infections
■ Transmitted through blood to blood contact such as through sex, blood
transfusion, or IV drug use.
■ HIV
■ Hepatitis B
■ Hepatitis C
○ Vector borne diseases
■ transmitted by mosquitoes, flies, ticks, and/or snails

■ Schistosomiasis
■ Lyme disease
■ Dengue
■ Zika virus

Document Summary
Wrestling mats are sites where any of these skin infections can be transmitted. Many of the sexually transmitted infectious microbes specialize in living on moist tissue surfaces (e. g. , chlamydia, gonococcus, and herpes simplex). Other sexually transmitted diseases are transmitted when there is blood to blood contact during sex e. g. , hiv, hepatitis b, & hepatitis c. Transmitted through blood to blood contact such as through sex, blood transfusion, or iv drug use. Vector borne diseases transmitted by mosquitoes, flies, ticks, and/or snails. Present in blood, semen, cervical & vaginal secretions, breast milk, saliva, and tears. Hiv is primarily transmitted in blood (hiv) transmission routes: Sex - sores on genital or anal area from another infection make it easier to be infected with. Flu-like symptoms emerge 2-4 weeks after exposure and lasts for 1-2 weeks and may include fever, rash and swollen lymph nodes. Clinical latency then lasts for 3 to over 20 years. Caused by infection with hiv (human immunodeficiency virus)
