Explanation:

• Question 1: STIs (sexually transmitted infections) and HIV are mainly transmitted through sexual contact, sharing needles, and mother - to - child transmission. They are not transmitted through inanimate objects like door knobs, toilet seats, or drinking fountains.
• Question 2: Teenagers and young adults are at a higher risk of having unprotected sex, which is a major risk factor for STIs. Statistical data often shows a high prevalence of STIs in this age group.
• Question 3: There are many serious STIs, such as HIV/AIDS, chlamydia (which can lead to infertility if untreated), and human papillomavirus (HPV, which can cause cervical cancer).
• Question 4: Some STIs/HIV may have no obvious symptoms in the early stages. For example, chlamydia is often called the “silent” infection as many people have no symptoms.
• Question 5: The symptoms of an STI may disappear on their own, but the infection may still be present in the body. For example, syphilis has latent stages where symptoms may not be visible, but the bacteria is still in the body and can cause long - term damage.
