Why Are Women More Likely Than Men to Have Silent

Why are women more likely than men to have silent sexually transmitted disease (STD) infection?

A) Women are less susceptible to STDs and are not assessed often for them.
B) Lesions may not be visible, or the woman can be asymptomatic.
C) A man's longer urethra provides increased opportunity for bacteria to multiply.
D) Symptoms of infection in women are likely to be systemic and vague, not local.
