What is one reason that the reported rates of sexually transmitted infections for African American males may be higher than for other non-minority groups?
 
  a. There is less stigmatism associated with sexually transmitted infections in the African American community.
  b. African American males are more likely to seek health care in clinics, where incidence is reported, rather than at private providers, who do not always report sexually transmitted infections.
  c. There are certain genetic factors common in African Americans, which increases their susceptibility to many sexually transmitted infections.
  d. African American males are more likely to seek treatment at the earliest onset of symptoms.

Question 2

What is one reason that women are twice as likely as men to acquire a sexually transmitted infection during unprotected sex?
 
  a. Men report having more sexual partners than women; thus, men are more likely than women to build up an immunity against sexually transmitted infections.
  b. The vagina has many nerve endings.
  c. The vagina is susceptible to small tears.
  d. This is due to the phenomenon known as one-way transmission; in which infections normally pass from semen onward, but not in the reverse.
