Question

question 2 (multiple choice worth 5 points) (02.02r mc) which of the following statements about stis is true? most stis have symptoms of some kind. stds and stis are not the same thing. stis can be transferred through kissing. stis are unusual and rarely contracted.

Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• "Most STIs have symptoms of some kind": Many STIs are asymptomatic, so this is false.
• "STDs and STIs are not the same thing": STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) and STI (Sexually Transmitted Infection) are related, with STI being the infection and STD the disease state from the infection, but they are often used interchangeably in common terms, and this statement is not accurate in the sense of strict distinction for this context.
• "STIs can be transferred through kissing": Some STIs like herpes simplex virus (HSV) or syphilis can be transmitted through kissing if there are active sores or lesions, so this is true.
• "STIs are unusual and rarely contracted": STIs are relatively common, so this is false.

Answer:

C. STIs can be transferred through kissing
