Answer
A
being sexually active, especially with more than one partner
B
remaining abstinent
C
requiring a partner to be tested before sexual contact
D
using intravenous drugs
E
engaging in sexual contact while drinking or using drugs

Explanation

Being sexually active, especially with multiple partners, increases the chance of exposure to an STI. Sharing injection equipment can spread infections, and alcohol or drug use during sexual contact may make it harder to use protection or make safer choices. Remaining abstinent and requiring a partner to be tested are steps that reduce risk, not risk factors.
