Question

which social effect might an individual experience following a diagnosis with a sexually transmitted infection (sti)?
○ feeling a social stigma is attached to them
○ bonding more with older people
○ having a loss of appetite
○ refusing to accept the medical outcome

Explanation:

To determine the social effect of an STI diagnosis, we analyze each option:

• "Feeling a social stigma is attached to them": STIs often carry social stigma due to societal attitudes about sexual health, so this is a social effect.
• "Bonding more with older people": STI diagnosis doesn't logically lead to this type of bonding; it's unrelated.
• "Having a loss of appetite": This is a physical or psychological (not social) effect, related to mental state about the diagnosis but not a social interaction/ perception effect.
• "Refusing to accept the medical outcome": This is a psychological response to the diagnosis, not a social effect.

Answer:

A. feeling a social stigma is attached to them
