Hi I'm Lexi and I was wondering if you can correct me.
Someone can only become infected by HIV or an STI by
A. drinking from the same water glass as an infected individual.
B. using the same restroom as an infected individual.
C. kissing an infected individual.
D. participating in a sexual behavior with an infected individual.***
True or False:
An individual may have contracted an STI and not show any signs or symptoms for two months.
A. true
b. False***
True or False:
Abstinence means that a person should only abstain from sexual intercourse.
A. True
B. False***
I disagree with all the answers for #1 — primarily because of the way the question is asked. Your answer choice is right for STDs, but there are additional ways to contract HIV.
2 and 3 —
I agree with one of them, but disagree with the other.
Please read and reread your text and/or put your questions into www.google.com and read lots.
Hi Lexi! I'd be happy to help you. Here are the corrections:

Hi Lexi! Of course, I can help correct your answers. Let's go through them one by one:
1. Someone can only become infected by HIV or an STI by:
The correct answer is D. participating in a sexual behavior with an infected individual. So, options A, B, and C are incorrect since HIV or STIs cannot be transmitted through drinking from the same water glass, using the same restroom, or kissing an infected individual.
2. True or False: An individual may have contracted an STI and not show any signs or symptoms for two months.
The correct answer is A. true. Some individuals who have contracted an STI may not display any signs or symptoms for a certain period of time, which can vary depending on the specific STI. In the case of this question, it mentions two months, so it is true that someone could have contracted an STI and remain asymptomatic for that duration.
3. True or False: Abstinence means that a person should only abstain from sexual intercourse.
The correct answer is B. False. Abstinence does not just refer to abstaining from sexual intercourse alone. It also means abstaining from any sexual activity that involves any form of genital contact. So, this option is incorrect.
I hope this helps! If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask.
