Blow Us Away STIs Usually, when instructors lecture about Sexually Transmitted Infections during an in-person course, they talk about some surprising facts about STIs in addition to the standard facts and photos about them. For this discussion forum, I want you to look through the facts and pictures in the textbook and Learning Objects on STIs/HIV/AIDS and find three facts that surprised you about any of the STIs presented. For each of the facts you choose, I want you to do the following: Describe each surprising fact (it doesnt have to be surprising to anyone but you, fyi). Be sure to name the STI(s) that it might be associated with and provide a detailed description of the thing that surprised you. It doesnt have to be an infection itselfit can be a fact, a piece of history, a trend, disturbing scientific fact, etc. For each surprising fact, also describe the population of people that should know more about thisbe specific. Demographic categories such as Gender, Age, socio-economic group, ethnicity, region, country, education level? Why should this group of people know more about the surprising fact that youve chosen. Anything else you can think of? Other thoughts? After you post your initial post, reply to two or more of your classmates postings. See the Discussion Rubric for additional information and grading criteria.
