Which one of the following statements is correct regarding sexually transmitted diseases \((STDs)\) ?
- A A person may contact syphilis by sharing milk with one already suffering from the disease.
- B Haemophilia is one of the \(STDs\)
- C Genital herpes and sicklecell anaemia are both \(STDs\)
- D The chances of a \(5\)-years boy contracting a \(STD\) are very little.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) The chances of a \(5\)-years boy contracting a \(STD\) are very little.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(d) : Syphilis is caused by bacterium Treponema pallidum. It is a sexually transmitted disease \((STD)\) which is transferred through sexual intercourse with infected person. Haemophilia is a Xlinked genetic disorder of blood. It is not transmitted via any sexual practice. Genital herpes is an \(STD\) while sicklecell anaemia is an autosomal hereditary disorder.The chances of a \(5\) year boy contracting an \(STD\) are very little since he is unlikely to have sex at this age.
