Risky sexual behaviors and inadequate preventive health behaviors put a person at risk for acquiring or transmitting an STI.Although low socioeconomic status may be a factor in avoiding purchasing barrier protection,sexual orientation does not put one at higher risk.Younger individuals and individuals with less education may be unaware of proper prevention techniques; however,these are not the primary areas of risk for STIs.Having a large number of sexual partners is a risk-taking behavior,but race does not increase the risk for STIs.
