the only 100% effective method for avoiding sexually transmitted infections and an unintended pregnancy is ______________. birth control vasectomy abstinence condom question 2 1 pts some contraceptives are 100% effective in preventing stis and pregnancy. true false question 3 1 pts by choosing abstinence you can build a healthy relationship built on which of the following? honesty respect trust

Explanation:

1. Abstinence means refraining from sexual activity. Since there is no sexual contact, there is no risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or unintended pregnancy. Birth control methods (like pills, IUDs) mainly prevent pregnancy and may not fully protect against all STIs. Vasectomy is a male sterilization method (prevents pregnancy but doesn't protect against STIs). Condoms are effective in reducing the risk of STIs and pregnancy but are not 100% foolproof (e.g., breakage can occur).
2. Contraceptives like birth control pills, patches, etc., are designed to prevent pregnancy. While condoms offer some protection against STIs, no contraceptive is 100% effective in preventing all STIs (e.g., some STIs like herpes can be transmitted through skin - to - skin contact even with a condom). And as mentioned before, contraceptives like the pill don't protect against STIs at all.
3. When a couple chooses abstinence, they focus on building a relationship based on non - sexual aspects. Honesty (about feelings, intentions), respect (for each other's boundaries, values), and trust (in each other's commitment to the relationship and the decision of abstinence) are key elements in a healthy, non - sexual relationship.

Answer:

1. abstinence
2. False
3. honesty, respect, trust
