Thank you all for a great end to the semester. I especially thank all of you for you understanding through that court case! A few final notes:
These are the highest grade averages from any class I have ever taught! If you want to email me: just send it to kholmes@uu.edu...BB will be shut down shortly and we can't communicate through there. Thank you for your kind notes- to those of you who wrote them on your exams ;)
Your weakness on the exam was actually something important (for your own personal health): STD/STI’s.
1. HPV (warts) is still fairly easily spread, even with a condom. It is a virus (you can’t get rid of it). You can get it even if you don’t have “real” intercourse.
2. Herpes, is a virus, and you can’t get rid of it. Condoms help, but you can still spread it.
3.HIV/AIDS- Virus, not that easily spread when condoms are consistently used. Many married couples have prevented the other from getting it when one has it- by consistent use.
4. Hepatitis B- get the vaccination! (You probably already have)… It is an awful disease and easily avoided (I think you can get this one from kissing).
5. Bacteria can do a lot of damage, but are easily rid of with antibiotics : Chlamydia, Syphilis, Gonorrhea

Answer to Bindi Bonus question has been on the blog for weeks ;)
Loved the humor- a few of your wrote “If Mama ain’t happy aint no one happy” in response to Menopause!
There were 49 possible points on the exam, so I threw in one point for you to make it 50, just because you are great. Yes, your grades are in WebAdvisor now.
Stop by any time! Enjoy your summer and I will see most of you in the fall☺
Sincerely,
Dr. Holmes
