Master Mnemonics for REP-03
Mnemonic 1: STD Organisms — "NTC + HHH + T"
N — Neisseria gonorrhoeae (gonorrhoea)
T — Treponema pallidum (syphilis) → BACTERIA → CURABLE
C — Chlamydia trachomatis (chlamydiasis)
H — Herpes simplex virus 2 (genital herpes)
H — HBV — Hepatitis B virus → VIRUSES → NOT CURABLE (Hep B has vaccine)
H — HIV — Human Immunodeficiency Virus
T — Trichomonas vaginalis (trichomoniasis) → PROTOZOAN → CURABLE
Sentence: "Never Trust Chlamydia — Herpes Has HIV — Trichomonas alone is protozoan."
Mnemonic 2: ART Transfer Destinations — "ZG Fall Into the Uterus"
Z = ZIFT → Zygote → Fallopian tube (Fertilized)
G = GIFT → Gametes → Fallopian tube (Unfertilized)
IVF = Embryo → Uterus
ICSI = Embryo → Uterus
AI/IUI = Semen → Uterus
Remember: "Z and G go to the FALL(opian tube) — rest go to the UTERUS"
