Answer to Question 1

Ans: C, D, E
Feedback:
Infections caused by bacteria can be treated and usually cured with antibiotics, but those caused by viruses cannot be cured this way. Chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilisall bacterialand trichomoniasisparas itic are easily treated with antibiotics and cured if diagnosed early. Human papillomavirus and herpes simplex are viral infections that are not treatable.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, D
Feedback:
Any person is in a high-risk group for STIs if they have multiple sexual partners, do not use a condom during sex, have other STIs, and/or have a sexual partner who has had an STD. Although once a risk for exposure to HIV, blood transfusions no longer place an individual at high risk for acquiring an STI.
