Question

Which one of the following statements is correct regarding sexually transmitted disease (STDs) ?
A. A person may contact syphilis by sharing milk with one already suffering from the disease.
B. Haemophilia is one of the STDs.
C. Genital herpes and sickle -cell anaemia are both STDs.
D. The chances of a 5-years boy contracting STDs are very rare.

Answer 1

Sexual transmitted disease also known as sexually transmitted infections (STIs), are infections that are transmitted from one person to another through sexual contact. Vaginal, oral, and anal sex are the most common forms of contact. They can, however, spread through other forms of intimate physical contact. This is due to the fact that some STDs, such as herpes and HPV, are spread through skin-to-skin contact.

Complete answer:
Sexually transmitted disease (STD) is a sickness that is spread from one person to another through sexual interaction. By having unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has the STD, a person can catch the disease.
Treponema pallidum is the bacteria that causes syphilis.
Haemophilia is a hereditary illness that affects the body's capacity to form blood clots, which is essential for stopping bleeding. This causes people to bleed for longer after an injury, bruising to be easier, and the danger of bleeding inside joints or the brain to be higher. Patients with a moderate instance of the disease may only experience symptoms after an accident or during surgery.
Herpes genetically is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that causes sores or blisters on the genital area. Sickle- cell anaemia is one of the diseases that make up sickle cell disease. Sickle cell anaemia is an inherited red blood cell condition in which the body's supply of healthy red blood cells is insufficient to transport oxygen throughout the body.
A 5-year-old boy is unlikely to have sex at this age, the odds of him contracting an STD are slim. As a result, the accurate response is that the chances of a 5-year-old boy developing an STD are quite unlikely.

Hence option D. is the correct answer.

Note:
The most important thing to remember is that sexual activity is the primary mechanism of STD transmission. Teens who refrain from sexual activity have a significantly lower risk of developing STDs. Sometimes these infections can be transmitted nonsexually, such as from mother to infant during pregnancy or through blood transfusions.
