What Are Key Risk Factors Associated with Sexual Behavior?
Several risk factors are associated with increased likelihood of contracting STIs and HIV: 1. Multiple Sexual Partners: Having multiple partners increases exposure to infections. 2. Unprotected Sex: Lack of condom use facilitates the transmission of infections. 3. Substance Use: Alcohol and drug use can impair judgment and lead to risky sexual behavior. 4. Age and Gender: Younger individuals and certain gender groups may engage in higher-risk behaviors.
