Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hepatitis A can be contracted from contaminated food or water, so it is possible for Jared to have contracted it through this route rather than sexual activity. Sharing needles (option A) is another possible route of transmission, but there is no information given in the scenario to suggest that Jared uses drugs. There is also no information to suggest oral-anal contact (option B) or that STIs are rarely transmitted any other way (option D), so these options cannot be conclusively ruled in or out.
