Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Any contact with another person's body fluids or an open lesion on the skin, anus, or genitalia can transmit an STD. The remaining options do not provide complete information of the possible means of transmitting STDs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
People often do not seek treatment because they are embarrassed to discuss sexual symptoms or concerns. They are also often hesitant to talk about their sexual behavior if they believe that it is not normal. Any sexual behavior that embarrasses the client often hinders the detection of an STD. While the remaining options may be factors for some individuals, they are not the most common reason for failure to seek treatment.
