Explanation:

• Question 16: Abstinence means refraining from sexual activity. Since STIs (sexually transmitted infections) are mainly transmitted through sexual contact, those who choose abstinence will not get an STI through sexual means.
• Question 17: STIs like HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) currently have no cure. There are treatments to manage the virus and slow down the progression of the disease (like antiretroviral therapy for HIV), but it cannot be completely cured.
• Question 18: Not all STIs can be cured. For example, herpes (caused by herpes simplex virus) and HIV are viral STIs that currently have no cure. Bacterial STIs like chlamydia, gonorrhea can be cured with antibiotics.
• Question 19: Condoms, when used correctly and consistently, provide good protection from STI/HIV. They act as a physical barrier, preventing the exchange of body fluids (which can contain the pathogens that cause STIs/HIV) during sexual intercourse.
• Question 20: STIs/HIV can be transmitted through non - sexual means (such as mother - to - child transmission during childbirth or breastfeeding for HIV, or in some cases, through blood transfusions in regions where blood screening is not comprehensive). So, it's not only sexually active adults who can get STI/HIV.
