Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 3, 5
Most but not all sexually transmitted infections may be prevented by the use of latex condoms. A person can contract an STI during the first sexual experience. For treatment to be effective both partners must be treated to prevent reinfection. Many complications of delayed treatment may occur, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy, infertility, chronic pelvic pain, neonatal illness, death, and genital cancer. The risk for infection is greater when there are multiple sexual partners.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
The herpes simplex virus can be transmitted during the prodromal period and for approximately 10 days after the lesions have healed. During these periods, sexual activity should be avoided. During the prodromal period, lesions are not present, but it is believed the virus is shed, making transmission possible. Condom use is beneficial in protection against the disease, but it is not 100 effective. Viral shedding is limited after the lesions have healed, but this is not the only period of potential transmission. Patient should wait at least 10 days before engaging in sexual relations.
