Re: Women's increased susceptibility to STDs. See Women's Susceptibility To Some STDs Is Affected By Hormonal Method Use
Excerpts" "...Using oral contraceptives or the hormonal injectable significantly affects a woman's risk of acquiring certain sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)."
"Use of oral contraceptives was associated with a significantly increased risk of chlamydia (hazard ratio, 1.8), vaginal candidiasis (1.5), cervical mucopus (1.7) and cervicitis (1.8), and a decreased risk of bacterial vaginosis (0.8). Women who used the hormonal injectable had significantly elevated risks of chlamydia (1.6), cervical mucopus and cervicitis (1.5 each), and significantly decreased risks of trichomoniasis (0.6), bacterial vaginosis (0.7), vaginal discharge (0.8) and pelvic inflammatory disease (0.4). Consistent use of condoms was associated with significantly decreased risks of gonorrhea (0.6), chlamydia (0.6), genital ulcer disease (0.5), bacterial vaginosis (0.9), cervical mucopus (0.6), cervicitis (0.8) and pelvic inflammatory disease (0.6)."

Between Thursday and Tuesday, make sure you check this page for any announcement. When I start collecting homework and papers, I will be issuing a Weekly Update Report of missing assignments, either on Thursday or Friday. This means, if you have an assignment due, and you did not hand it in on the due date, it will be noted on the Weekly Update Report. Make sure you get these in ASAP. All missing assignments will be listed by your ID number.
I have created a Due Dates Page, which lists everyone's assignments, by last name. Check and make sure I have your assignments correct. This is on the temporary news page, which includes graphics about the class that you may want to look at as well. On this page I will be posting status reports of exams and your group activity handouts. I will explain this next week. Or, you can E-mail me, if you have questions.
Due Dates for Assignments, by Student
On the assignments webpages, I have listed everyone's assignment for the dates they are due. See Part I for an example:
Part 1, Chapters 1 - 5 Assignments Webpage
See you Tuesday.
