Answer 1

1. The sexually transmitted disesese include all like syphilis, gonorhea or chlamydia because each of it can be treated with the antibiotics and according to me the worst would be syphilis as it has the stages of symptoms. The clinical manifestation includes:

* flu like symptoms like fever, sore throat, enlarged glands.

* canchre in the introitus or penis.

* hair loss * weight loss

The complication is severe in syphilis if its not treated at the earliest leads to the fourth stage like:

* nerve damage

* deafness

*dimentia

* personality changes

* heart diseases and so on were management and treatment is very crucial.

Here my choice is both men and women are affected equally  

2. HIV is worst as Hpv can be treated with antibiotics and prevented with the vaccinations wereby HIV cannot be. The clinical manifestation includes problems in all the system:

* starting from weight loss

* immunosuppression

* pneumonia

* enlargement of organs and glands

* fatigue

* ulcers in mouth

* red blotches

* severe abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea

The complication includes Aids which involves all the diseases we're y the person's life span is being decreased and death and fatality is the complication.

Both male and female or risk of acquiring Std but according to me females as easily can be transmitted through female introitus and anal sex.
