Risks of Sexually Transmitted Infections

Question 10 • Health and Wellness Education

Which of the following is a common misperception about STI transmission?

Answer
A
Some STIs can be transmitted by oral contact.
B
Some STIs can be transmitted by skin-to-skin contact.
C
All STIs require medication or a doctor's treatment.
D
All STIs can only be transmitted through intercourse.

Explanation

Some STIs can spread through oral contact, and some can spread through skin-to-skin contact, so intercourse is not the only possible route of transmission. The claim that all STIs can only be transmitted through intercourse is therefore a common misperception.
