Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Steve had three monogamous relationships with the assumption that his partners were only having sex with him. However, this assumption may not always be true, and he and his partners stopped using condoms only after a few weeks of being together. On the other hand, Sanjay had four hook-ups with partners he had never met before, but he always used condoms. Therefore, Steve is at higher risk for STIs than Sanjay.
