Number of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are potentially dangerous. We need to know to protect themselves and know the best way possible. The answers to the test appeared on e-health last week to help you.
1) How many sexual partners have you had in your life?
A - 1 single partner. (0)
B? 2 to 4 sexual partners. (1)
C? 5 or more partners. (2)
The number of sexual partners is correlated to the number of STIs. This is logical because the more you have been in sexual contact with many people, the greater your chances of having met with an STI. This is simply statistical.
2) How many sexual partners have you had in the past year?
A? No sexual partner. (0)
B? 2 or 3 sexual partners. (1)
C? 4 different sexual partners or more. (2)
The number of sexual partners in life, but also in the year, can affect fertility. A significant number of difficulties in having a child are related to STIs themselves in relation to a number of partners. This does not alter the fact that it only takes one encounter to contract an STI.
3) When you go out to find a partner, where you going instead?
A? In a rock concert or a nightclub. (2)
B? In a private party. (2)
C? I do not particularly partner. (0)
People in very active research partner are far more likely to initiate a sexual relationship and therefore quick to take significant risks of contracting an STI.
4) Since your first sexual relationship, have you ever contracted an STI?
A? No, never. (0)
B? Yes, once. (1)
C? Yes, several times. (2)
A person having contracted an STI is a person at risk and even a person having contracted an STD more than once. This means it has an at-risk behavior.
5) How do you drink when you are at a party?
A? I never drink alcohol. (0)
B? I drink a little alcohol, but never more than 2 glasses. (1)
C? I drink three glasses regularly or more. (2)
Alcohol is a major risk factor for STIs. Indeed, a person who has consumed alcohol can initiate a sexual relationship it would not have had in his usual state, and in poor conditions. This is even more risky than alcohol tends to obscure the essential precautions, particularly condom (as well as contraception, whatever).

This is even more risky than alcohol tends to obscure the essential precautions, particularly condom (as well as contraception, whatever).
6) If you have sex with a (e) new (her) partner, would you use condoms?
A? Yes, I am required. (0)
B? Yes, if possible, but it is not certain. (1)
C? No, I do not use it. (2)
The condom is the necessary protection when we want a safe sex life. Everyone knows, but to implement this protection, we must be sure of its decision and to firm themselves and each other. Indeed, when one is unsure of itself, it is very difficult to impose its views to someone who does not necessarily share. Of course, if in addition, we do not want the condom, the risk of STIs is very important.
7) Do you do it for love on the first evening with someone you do not know?
A? Yes, it happens. (2)
B? This could happen. (1)
C - No, never and I do not want. (0)
More on quickly initiates a sexual relationship and you're part of a group at risk of STIs. Because they tend to multiply the number of partners and to take risks.
8) Have you ever taken psychoactive drugs (including cannabis)?
A? No, never. (0)
B? Yes, but not drug users. (1)
C? Yes including drug users. (2)
All drugs that act on the psyche increase the risk of STIs. Alcohol also, even if we have devoted a separate issue. Even if alcohol is really a psychoactive drug, it is not considered as such by all. Injectable drugs increase the risk because of the practice of sharing syringes among consumers. Fortunately, this practice has greatly decreased since the unrestricted sale of syringes and needles.
9) Have you ever performed oral sex without a condom?
A? No, never and I do not want. (0)
B? No, but it could happen. (1)
C? No and I do not wish it. (2)
Fellatio is the practice at risk of STIs, for sure. This risk is probably lower than during vaginal sex. There are, however, and so it is advisable to use a condom.
10) Have you ever had anal sex?
A? No, never. (0)
B? No, but it could happen. (1)
C? Yes, it happens. (2)
Anal relations are the most at risk for transmission of STIs. The lining is extremely fragile at this point, always bleeding, even if it is a 'micro-bleeding' invisible to the naked eye. Therefore STIs such as AIDS or hepatitis are transmitted very easily this way. Condom use is therefore vital.
11) Do you have a piercing or tattoo?
A? No, I did not and I do not wish it. (0)
B? No, but I will make one. (1)
C? Yes, I have at least one piercing and / or tattoo. (2)
From the moment it makes you bleed with an instrument, there is a risk of transmission of some STIs such as AIDS or hepatitis (and other diseases transmitted by blood, even if they are not sexually transmitted) . The piercings and tattoos are often performed in conditions you are entering a population at risk. Indeed, if the instruments in contact with your blood are not single use and sterile, or sterilized in a cause, you are taking a risk by going to your piercer or tattoo. That is why the blood transfusion centers reject blood donors who come to get tattooed or piercer.
12) Where do you live?
A - I live in a very big city. (2)
B? I live in an average city. (1)
C? I live in a small town or rural. (0)
Live in a city increases the risk of contracting an STI. Why? Is that anonymous meetings are facilitated and so many more people take risks.
A? Yes, I am required. (0)
B? Yes, if possible, but it is not certain. (1)
C? No, I do not use it. (2)
