Question

State whether the following statement is true or false.

STDs can be considered as self-invited diseases.

Answer 1

This statement is true.

Explanation:

STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases) are often termed self-invited diseases because they primarily result from engaging in risky sexual behaviors such as having multiple partners or unprotected sex. Hence, they can be prevented by adopting safe sexual practices, like using condoms and avoiding promiscuity. Creating awareness and taking precautions can significantly reduce the risk of contracting STDs, making them largely preventable and “self-invited” due to personal choices.
