Question

which behavior can reduce ones risk of acquiring a sexually transmitted infection (sti)?
dating older people
stopping casual contact with partners
having multiple sexual partners
communicating with sexual partner

Explanation:

• Dating older people: There is no evidence that dating older people reduces the risk of STIs. STI risk is not determined by age.
• Stopping casual contact with partners: Casual contact (assuming non - sexual) is not a significant route for STI transmission. STIs are mainly transmitted through sexual contact.
• Having multiple sexual partners: This increases the risk of STIs as there is a higher chance of exposure to an infected partner.
• Communicating with sexual partner: Open communication with a sexual partner about sexual health, testing, and safe sex practices (such as using condoms) can help in reducing the risk of STIs. For example, if both partners are aware of each other's sexual history and agree to use protection, the risk is lowered.

Answer:

communicating with sexual partner
