That covers all 9 major viral STIs in depth. Here's a summary of what was covered:
What was covered:
- HSV (Herpes Simplex Virus) - Pathology (Cowdry A inclusions, syncytia), primary vs recurrent disease, neonatal herpes, treatment with acyclovir/valacyclovir/famciclovir
- HPV (Human Papillomavirus) - Low-risk (types 6/11 → condylomata acuminata) vs high-risk (types 16/18 → cervical/anal/penile/oropharyngeal carcinoma), Gardasil 9 vaccine, treatment options
- HIV - Acute retroviral syndrome, CD4-based staging, ART, PrEP, U=U concept
- HBV - Routes, chronicity rates (high in perinatal exposure), serology interpretation, vaccination
- HCV - Sexual transmission less efficient than HBV; near-universal cure with DAAs; no vaccine
- CMV - Latent in myeloid/lymphoid cells; devastating in immunocompromised; congenital CMV
- HTLV-1 - Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma and tropical spastic paraparesis
- Molluscum contagiosum - Poxvirus; umbilicated papules; extensive in HIV
- Zika virus - Sexual (semen) + mosquito transmission; teratogenic (microcephaly)
All sections include virology, clinical features, diagnosis, management, and prevention. Let me know if you want any specific virus covered in more detail, or want a focused section on a particular aspect (e.g., drug dosing, cervical screening protocols, or STI co-infection management).
