Question 5 • (25-26) Bryner -- Health (Semester 2 course) 4th 9wks Section 2

Which of the following is a TRUE statement about the effects of STIs on one's health?

Answer

In addition to the emotional trauma that an STI can cause, a person can suffer great mental disability as a result of an STI.

The physical effects of an STI can be easily hidden because they generally only affect the genital area.

If there are no symptoms of the STI, the person can still donate blood because the blood is only rarely affected.

all of the above

Explanation

Some STIs can affect more than the reproductive organs. For example, untreated syphilis can damage the brain and nervous system and cause serious mental or neurological problems, so statement A is true. Statement B is false because some STIs can cause effects throughout the body, and having no symptoms does not make blood donation safe; statement C is false for the same reason. Therefore, “all of the above” is not correct.
