A classy new view book (above), a collaboration be- tween the Office of Public Information director Carlene Przykucki, ACC staff, and consultants Davison, Dietsch and McCarthy, brings much of the ACC college experi- ence to life and should en- han·ce recruiting and market- ing efforts.

Certain types of genital warts can lead to cervical can- cer in women. The Center for Disease Control and Preven- tion estimates that there are 500,000 to 1 million new cases of genital warts in the U.S. each year.. . . Chfo.mydia is the most common bacterial STD. Often, a · person infected with clhamydia is unaware because it may be asymptomatic. '_'Asymptomatic means you don't have a whole lot of symptoms. This is commones- peciall y with warts and chlamydia. Men,.however, al- most always have symptoms, Rossi said. Most ACC students, 65 percent, are aware of five or more STDs. Forty-six percent of A<::C students have had one to three sex partners and 27 percent have had more than three. . If symptoms of an STD occur, Rossi suggests that help be sought immediately. · "The quicker you treat them, the less chanc~ they have STD Warning VIRAL BACTERIAL HIV/AIDS Chlamydia (Human Immunodeficiency, •Discharge from penis/ va- Virus) gina • Unexplained wieghtloss • Bleeding from vagina be:.. • Flu-like feeling tween periods • White spots in mouth • Pain in abdomen • Persistant yeast infection • Burning during urination May show several months to Symptoms appear seven to 21 several ye~rs after exposure. daysafterexposure.Mostmen Herpes and women have no symp- (Herpes Simplex type II virus) toms. • Flu-like feeling Gonorrhea •Small, painful blisters on •Thick yellowish/white dis- genitals or mouth charge from penis/vagina •Itchingorburningbeforeblis- •Burning or pain during uri- ters appear nation May develop one to 30.days •More frequent urina~ion after exposure.
