Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Both men and women get STDs, but women have more serious and more frequent complications for several reasons. First, men are more likely than women to have sex at an early age and with more partners over a lifetime. This means that women have a greater risk of getting all of the STDs that a man's past and present partners have had. Second, the lining of the vagina is thinner and more delicate than the skin on a penis, so it's easier for bacteria and viruses to penetrate. Third, compared with men, women are less likely to have symptoms of some common STDs, such as chlamydia and gonorrhea.
