An individual reads a pamphlet about reducing the risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection (STI). How would the individual most likely apply what he or she read?

Using condoms consistently during sex helps reduce the risk of contracting an STI, so it is a practical way to apply the pamphlet’s advice. Avoiding screening and having unprotected sex can increase health risks, while only occasionally abstaining does not provide consistent protection during sex.
