UT High School Health 1 Practice Exam

Which of the following best represents the activities listed as contributing to getting an STD?

Anal sex only Vaginal sex only Oral sex only Anal, vaginal, and oral sex

Correct Answer:

Anal, vaginal, and oral sex

Explanation:

Getting an STD happens when there is exposure to infected fluids or mucous membranes during sexual activity. All three main types of sexual activity—anal, vaginal, and oral sex—can allow such exposure, so the option that includes all of them best represents the ways STDs can be acquired. STDs can be transmitted through any of these routes, depending on the pathogen, so focusing on only one type would miss other possible pathways. Using barriers like condoms and dental dams and getting regular STI testing helps reduce risk, though no single activity is completely risk-free.
