Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that it is at least twice as easy for a male to infect a female with an STI, including HIV, as it is for a female to infect a male. This is due to the fact that during heterosexual intercourse, the male's semen has direct contact with the female's mucous membranes, which can lead to infection. However, it's important to note that anyone can contract or transmit an STI regardless of gender or sexual orientation. The statement in option A is false and oral sex can transmit STIs, including HIV.
