Question 9 • DBN MI Health

Which statement best explains the long-term consequence a young woman may experience as a result of sexual activity as a teen?

Answer
A
Young women will not experience long-term consequences of sexual activity if they use condoms.
B
Young women are more likely to contract HIV between the ages of 13 and 19.
C
Young women may not be able to find a partner free of STDs later in life.
D
Young women may not be able to conceive children as a result of contracting an STD as a teen.

Explanation

Some sexually transmitted infections can cause pelvic inflammatory disease or other reproductive damage if they are not treated. That damage may make it difficult or impossible to conceive later, so the best answer is that a young woman may have trouble conceiving after contracting an STD as a teen. Condoms reduce risk but do not eliminate it, and the other choices make claims that are too broad or inaccurate.
