Question 1

Which of the following has been the most frequently reported STI in the United States for the past decade?&#10;A)genital herpes&#10;B)genital warts&#10;C)gonorrhea&#10;D)chlamydia

Accepted Answer

Chlamydia has been the most frequently reported STI in the United States for the past decade, with over 1.8 million cases reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2018. While genital herpes and genital warts are also common STIs, they have not been reported as frequently as chlamydia. Gonorrhea is also a common STI, but it has been reported less frequently than chlamydia in recent years.

Question 2

Among women,what group has the highest rates of HIV infection?&#10;A)white&#10;B)African American&#10;C)Hispanic&#10;D)Asian

Accepted Answer

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), African American women account for the highest number of HIV diagnoses among women in the United States. In 2018, they accounted for 59% of new HIV diagnoses among women. This is due to a combination of socioeconomic factors, lack of access to healthcare, and higher rates of sexually transmitted infections compared to other racial/ethnic groups.

Question 3

Which of the following is NOT true of AIDS?&#10;A)Incidence of HIV/AIDS is highest in minority groups.&#10;B)The proportion of heterosexual males with HIV is higher than for heterosexual females&#10;C)Men and women experience different ailments from HIV.&#10;D)HIV is defined differently in men and women.

Accepted Answer

The statement that the proportion of heterosexual males with HIV is higher than for heterosexual females is not true. In fact, globally, women account for more than half of all people living with HIV, and in sub-Saharan Africa, women are even more disproportionately affected. The other statements are accurate reflections of the disease's characteristics and impacts.

Question 4

Which of the following is considered to be a bacterial STI?&#10;A)genital herpes&#10;B)AIDS&#10;C)gonorrhea&#10;D)genital warts

Accepted Answer

Gonorrhea is caused by the bacterial species Neisseria gonorrhoeae and is therefore considered a bacterial STI. Genital herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus, AIDS is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and genital warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV).

Question 5

Which of the following could possibly decrease the risk of transmission from HIV-infected mothers to their children?&#10;A)prenatal vitamins&#10;B)cesarean section&#10;C)breastfeeding&#10;D)blood transfusion

Accepted Answer

Cesarean section greatly decreases the risk of transmission as it avoids the baby coming into contact with the HIV-infected mother's bodily fluids during birth. Prenatal vitamins and blood transfusions do not have a direct effect on transmission risk, and breastfeeding can actually increase the risk of transmission.

Question 6

Which is true of the sexual experience?&#10;A)Decisions regarding sex involve all 5 wellness dimensions.&#10;B)It is a purely physical act.&#10;C)It does not contribute to wellness.&#10;D)There are few long term risks involved.

Accepted Answer

The sexual experience involves not only physical but also emotional, social, intellectual, and spiritual dimensions, all of which should be considered when making decisions about sex. Therefore, choice A is the correct answer. B, C, and D are incorrect because they promote common myths about sex. Sex is more than just a physical act, it can contribute positively to wellness, and there are long term risks such as sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancy that should be considered.

Question 7

Which of the following is NOT among the common symptoms of AIDS?&#10;A)loss of appetite&#10;B)fatigue&#10;C)headache&#10;D)swollen glands&#10;E)weight loss

Question 8

Which of the following causes an increased risk for pelvic inflammatory disease?&#10;A)chlamydia&#10;B)HIV&#10;C)hepatitis B&#10;D)syphilis

Accepted Answer

Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection that causes inflammation of the cervix and the pelvic area, which increases the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). HIV, hepatitis B, and syphilis do not directly cause PID.

Question 9

Which of the following is caused by a virus?&#10;A)chancroid&#10;B)syphilis&#10;C)herpes&#10;D)gonorrhea

Question 10

AIDS is caused by a virus that attacks&#10;A)red blood cells.&#10;B)white blood cells.&#10;C)T helper T cells&#10;D)B-lymphocytes.
