- Maria went to Nawandyo A, lower section to teach about Urinary tract infection ( UTI), sexually transmitted diseases(STDS) and HIV/ AIDS. The chairperson started the meeting with a word of prayer, then he thanked the community members for their turn up encouraging everyone to keep time and putting everything they learn into practice. He then invited Maria to say a word to the participants. Maria thanked all the participants for coming, she introduced the topic of the day as Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), Urinary tract infections ( UTI), HIV/AIDS. Maria defined STDs as infections that enters through sexual contact, UTI as bacteria that enters through urinary system name the urethra, bladder, and the kidneys. Then causes were shared of both “STDs”, UTI, and AIDS, Charles said that it is commonly caused by having sex with more than one person, not keeping personal hygiene etc. Signs and symptoms of STDs and UTI were discussed first; Saidah mentioned itching around the private parts, bloody discharge,pain when urinating, pain while having sex among others.
