Answer to Question 2
Myth
- Only people who have sex with many partners get STIs.
- Condoms don't prevent STIs.
- A lack of any symptoms of an STI probably means no infection.
- I don't know anyone who has an STI; it must not be a problem in my town.
- You can get an STI only from vaginal or anal sex.
- I'm on the pill, so I'm pretty well protected from STIs.
Truth
- A single sexual encounter can transmit an STI; someone's only partner may have other partners.
- Condoms, used correctly, greatly reduce the chances of STI transmission.
- Many STIs hide in the body and not show any obvious or visible symptoms.
- Unfortunately, STIs are everywhere, and often an infected person is unaware of the infection or avoids telling anyone.
- Vaginal and anal intercourse are common routes of transmission, but other activities such as oral sex, intravenous drug use, and do-it-yourself tattooing may transmit STIs as well.
