• We are all sexual BEINGS. Our
sexuality affects who we are and how
we express ourselves as sexual
beings.
• LET’S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE
MEANING OF SEXUALITY…….
SEXUALITY IS ALL ABOUT…
• Your body
• Your sex
• Your gender
• Sexual Activity
• Your sexual orientation
• Your sexual drives
• Your values, attitudes, beliefs, and
ideals about life, love
• Healthy relationships
KEY TERMS TO REMEMBER
• SEX- body, biological, traits,
characteristics
• GENDER- roles, society, expectations,
equality, bias
• SEXUAL UNFOLDING- sexual
awareness, understanding, hormonal
changes
• SEXUAL DRIVES – fantasies, desires
• SEXUAL ORIENTATION-  person’s
romantic, emotional or sexual attraction to
WHAT IS A HEALTHY
RELATIONSHIP?
HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS
• RELATIONSHIPS THAT SET BOUNDARIES
• Lines or limitations between you and the world
around you.
• In relationships, boundaries are emotional, physical,
and mental rules of respect that you set between
yourself and someone else.
• Boundaries are guidelines that ensure your wellness,
comfort, and safety with another person
• Boundaries may be flexible and change over time, as
the relationships in your life develop and grow.
SEXUAL ORIENTATION 
• An enduring pattern of attraction—
emotional, romantic, sexual, or
some combination of these—to the
opposite sex, the same sex, or
both sexes
• Heterosexual, Homosexual,
Bisexual, Asexual
• Heterosexual- romantic or sexual attraction or
behavior between persons of opposite sex
• Homosexual-romantic or sexual attraction or
behavior between members of the same sex or
gender
• Bisexual-romantic or sexual attraction or
sexual behavior toward males and females
• Asexual -the lack of romantic or sexual
attraction to others
WHAT CAUSES IT?
• NATURE VERSUS NURTURE
• GENES VERSUS THE ENVIRONMENT
• Troubled family dynamics?
• Faulty psychological development?
• Biological causes such as genetic defects?
• Childhood sexual abuse?
• Hormonal imbalance?
• No one knows what causes
heterosexuality, homosexuality, or
bisexuality.
SEXUALLY
TRANSMITTED
DISEASES
 Also known as Sexually
Transmitted Infections (STIs)
 Spread of an infection from
person to person mainly
through sexual activity
STDs are more than just an embarrassment.
They're a serious health problem. If untreated,
some STDs can cause permanent damage,
such as infertility (the inability to have a baby)
and even death (in the case of HIV/AIDS).
Breaking news
• Davao City was earlier reported by
health authorities to have the second
highest increase in cases of HIV-Aids
cases in the country during the last five
years
• The National Aids Registry of the
National Epidemiology Center (NEC), a
unit under the Department of Health,
has a consolidated data of 124 cases of
HIV in Southern Mindanao alone.
• Of the said number, 40 of them
were homosexuals, 28 were
bisexuals and 26 were
heterosexuals
• Recently, the City was shaken
by a report about a supposed
12-year old girl who tested
positive of HIV.
HIV VERSUS
AIDS
• Human immunodeficiency
virus (HIV) is the virus which
causes Acquired Immune
Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS )
HIV VERSUS AIDS
Human
Immunodeficiency
Virus (HIV)
• The PATHOGEN-
specifically, a VIRUS
that causes AIDS
• simian
immunodeficiency
virus (SIV) from the
apes, chimpanzees
and monkeys in
Congo, Africa (1959-
1960)
Acquired Immuno
Deficiency
Syndrome (AIDS)
• The disease; the
END RESULT of HIV
• Late/ Final Stage of
HIV
SIV was transferred
to humans as a result
of chimps being killed
and eaten or their
blood getting into
cuts or wounds on
the hunter. Normally
the hunter's body
would have fought off
SIV, but on a few
occasions it adapted
itself within its new
human host and
became HIV
How HIV Works• HIV ->bloodstream->white blood cells (T4
cells)
• Virus slowly destroys T4 cells
• Forces T4 cells to make copies of HIV
• Eventually the cell dies
• Moves on to other T4 cells
• Can be up to 10 years before person
shows signs; by that time the virus has
already overwhelmed the immune system
HOW HIV SPREADS
SPREADS BY:
1. Bodily Fluids
– Blood
– Semen
– Vaginal secretions
– Breast milk
2. Sexual Contact
3. Blood to Blood Contact
• Sharing of Needles
• Tattoos/ Piercing
• Needle Stick Injury
DOES NOT SPREAD BY:
• Saliva
• Tears
• Sweat
• Feces
• Urine
• Casual contact – dry
mouth kissing, hugging,
being sneezed on or
coughed on.
• Mosquito bites
Signs and symptoms HIV and
AIDS
• There are no true signs of
having HIV.
• One may experience flu – like
symptoms of chills, fever, night
sweats, rashes, etc.
• Some will have no signs or
symptoms.
