Show different text content on same activity

I am working on first aid app, now on main activity I have a list of around 40 diseases, when clicked on any item, it moves to next activity showing different content related to that disease. Now my question is, will I make 40 different activities for each disease, or if not then how to make a single activity that will show different content according to clicked disease, and how will I style that text content, because each content may contain different bullets, heading, length of text can be different for each disease.

One activity and when you start it in the intent send also the text images styles or whatever you need

Intent diseaseIntent = new Intent(this, DiseaseActivity.class)
diseaseIntent.putStringExtra("key", textOfDisease);
startActivity(diseaseIntent);

and in DiseaseActivity's onCreate use 

String textOfDisease = getIntent().getStringExtra("key", "value if string extra is null");
yourTextView.setText(textOfDisease);

you can add more fields to to intent here is the documentation: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html Good luck
