1 Sexually Transmitted Infections SANE-A TRAINING 2015 Barbara Kern-Pieh RN MS CNM SANE-A SANE-P STDs in Minnesota: Number of Cases Reported in 2013* Total of 23,133 STD cases reported to MDH in 2013: 18,724 Chlamydia cases 3,872 Gonorrhea cases 537 Syphilis cases (all stages) 0 Chancroid cases *Minnesota STD Surveillance System STDs in Minnesota: Annual Review STDs in Minnesota Rate per 100,000 by Year of Diagnosis, * P&S = Primary and Secondary 1

2 CDC Recommendations In cases of sexual assault, all patients are offered prophylactic medication to prevent gonorrhea and chlamydia infection given the high rates of infection after assault Trichomoniasis and Bacterial Vaginosis can be diagnosed or excluded in the ED if microscopy is available; otherwise empiric treatment should be administered Routine baseline testing for STIs is not recommended in cases of sexual assault CDC Recommended Prophylaxis For Gonorrhea : Ceftriaxone 250 mg IM in a single dose Cefixime 400 mg orally in a single dose For Trichomonas: Metronidazole 2 g orally in a single dose For Chlamydia: Azithromycin 1 g orally in a single dose Doxycycline 100 mg orally twice a day for 7 days 2

3 Chlamydia Trachomatis (CT) Transmission rate: 4 17% following Sexual Assault Increase prevalence young women vs. mature women Incubation period: 1-3 weeks Symptoms: Men - 25% asymptomatic NGU discharge or dysuria Women % asymptomatic vaginal discharge, dysuria, abdominal pain Complications: Epididymitis, Prostatitis, Bartholinitis Proctitis, Reiter s syndrome, Endometritis, Perihepatitis Salpingitis, Infertility, Perinatal conjunctivitis, Koala Bears** pneumonia Chlamydia Trachomatis (CT) Chlamydia Statistics Chlamydia has continued to increase over the past decade There has been a 64% increase from 2004 to 2014 The rates of Chlamydia went up in both males and females in 2014 Females continue to have higher rates of chlamydia than males in age groups 39 and under. Chlamydia disproportionately impacts youth year olds make up only 14% of the population, but account for 66% of all chlamydia cases reported The Black/African American population has rates that are 9 times higher than that of whites 3

4 Chlamydia Infections by Residence at Diagnosis Minnesota, 2014 Total Number of Cases = 19,897 Suburban = Seven-county metro area including Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin (excluding Minneapolis), Ramsey (excluding St. Paul), Scott, and Washington counties. Greater MN = All other Minnesota counties outside the seven-county metro area. Diagnostic tests for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea NOT Recommended for Acute Sexual Assault EXAM DNA amplification best choice if diagnosis is needed PCR/LCR Increase sensitivity for Chlamydia NAAT Nucleic Acid Amplification Test Urine specimens particularly men Future role for diagnosing extra-genital sites Culture-Sensitivity 72-95% for gonorrhea Gram stain 90% sensitivity for gonorrhea in men with urethritis 60% Sensitivity for gonorrhea in women with cervicitis DNA probe/eia -Similar sensitivity to culture Chlamydia Treatment Guidelines Preferred Recommended Regimens Azithromycin 1 g orally in a single dose Doxycycline 100 mg orally twice a day for 7 days Alternative Regimens Erythromycin base 500 mg orally four times a day for 7 days Erythromycin ethylsuccinate 800 mg orally four times a day for 7 days Ofloxacin 300 mg orally twice a day for 7 days Levofloxacin 500 mg orally for 7 days 4

5 Side Effects of Azithromycin Gastrointestinal Mild diarrhea, vomiting, constipation Stomach pain Dizziness Fatigue Mild headache Anxiety Insomnia Vaginal itching or discharge Mild rash or itching Ringing in ears, problems with hearing Decreased sense of taste or smell Trichomonas Frothy yellow- green discharge Strawberry petechiae Foul odor Wet Prep or NAAT to confirm Treat with acute SA exam Differential Diagnosis of Vaginal Infections 5

6 Trichomonas Treatment Guidelines Preferred Recommended Regimens Metronidazole 2 g orally in a single dose *Monitor Alcohol use or delay ingestion Alternative Regimen Metronidazole 500 mg twice a day for 7 days Common Side Effects of Metronidazole Dizziness Headache Diarrhea Nausea Stomach pain Loss of appetite Constipation Changes in taste Dry mouth Human Papilloma Virus Prevalence 16-30% sexually active young adults with evidence HPV DNA Incubation period 4-6 weeks Transmission Genital contact (viral shed + break in skin) Symptoms New bumps or growth on genitalia (Genital Warts) May occur in non-genital areas Abnormal PAP smear/changes on the cervix Complications Carcinoma of the cervix vagina, vulva, anus, penis Perinatal Laryngeal papillomas 6

7 External Genital Warts Not Treated at Acute SANE exam Refer to clinic for recommend follow up Patient applied Podofilox 0.5% Solution or Gel, twice a day for 3 consecutive days per week Imiquimod 5% cream at bedtime three times a week Provider administered Cryotherapy every 1-2 weeks Podophyllin resin 10% - 25% Trchloracetic acid or bichlorocetic acid 80% -90% Intralesional interferon, Laser surgery Therapy for the warts does not cure 7

8 Transmission Gonorrhea (GC) 6 12 % estimated risk of transmission during SA Mode of transmission Vaginal, anal, or oral sex Pregnant woman - baby during childbirth Incubation 2 to 5 days may not develop for up to 30 days Infections in the genitals, rectum, and throat Women - no symptoms until complications have occurred PID can result in tubal scarring that can lead to infertility or ectopic pregnancy Men may have no symptoms A burning sensation when urinating A white, yellow, or green discharge from the penis Painful or swollen testicles (less common) Gonorrhea 8

9 Gonorrhea Gonorrhea Statistics Gonorrhea has continued to increase over the past decade There has been a 5% increase from 2013 to 2014 The rates of gonorrhea went up in males and down females in 2014 Females continue to have higher rates of gonorrhea than males in age groups 24 and under Gonorrhea disproportionately impacts youth The year olds make up only 14% of the population, but account for 51% of all gonorrhea cases reported There continues be even larger racial disparities in gonorrhea compared to chlamydia The Black/African American population has rates that are 18 times higher than that of whites. Gonorrhea Infections by Residence at Diagnosis Minnesota, 2014 Total Number of Cases = 4,073 Suburban = Seven-county metro area including Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin (excluding Minneapolis), Ramsey (excluding St. Paul), Scott, and Washington counties. Greater MN = All other Minnesota counties outside the seven-county metro area. 9

10 Uncomplicated Gonococcal Infections of the Cervix, Urethra, and Rectum Preferred Recommended Regimens Preexisting GC will also be treated by prophylaxis Ceftriaxone 250 mg IM in a single dose for Prophylaxis Recommended Regimens following diagnosis Ceftriaxone 125mg IM in a single dose Cefixime 400 mg orally in a single dose Ciprofloxacin 500 mg orally in a single dose Ofloxacin 400 mg orally in a single dose Levofloxacin 250 mg orally in a single dose PLUS IF CHLAMYDIAL INFECTION IS NOT RULED OUT Azithromycin 1 g PO in a single dose Doxycycline 100 mg orally BID for 7 days Side effects of Ceftriaxone Common side effects of Ceftriaxone Rash Diarrhea Nausea Vomiting Upset stomach Blood clots Dizziness Headache Pain or swelling in the tongue Lump where the medicine was injected Sweating Vaginal itching or discharge. Quinolone Resistant NG Minnesota statistics show that resistant strains of gonorrhea have dropped in recent years among men who have sex with men, but are on the increase in heterosexual contacts. This supports the CDC recommendation that we use Ceftriaxone as first choice for GC prophylaxis, with ciprofloxacin or cefixime as alternate choices. 10

11 Herpes Simplex Transmission Close contact with a person who is shedding virus Incubation period 6-14 days after sexual contact Symptoms Pain, itching, genital sores, dysuria, vaginal or urethral discharge, tender inguinal adenopathy Sero-prevalence 4-40% (US) antibodies to HSV 2 Latency 90% recur in the first year Sacral nerve root ganglion Subclinical viral shedding up to 6% of time women Perinatal transmission Herpes Simplex Dew drops on a rose petal 11
