Risks of STIs for Teenagers: Understanding Sexual Health

The statement "Teens who are sexually active have a low risk of acquiring transmitted diseases." is false.

Teens who are sexually active have a higher risk of acquiring sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) compared to those who are not sexually active. STDs are infections that can be passed from one person to another through sexual contact, including intercourse, oral sex, and anal sex.

Having multiple sexual partners, not using condoms, and engaging in unprotected sex increases the risk of acquiring STDs. Teens should be aware of the risks associated with sexual activity and take precautions to protect themselves from STDs, such as using condoms and limiting the number of sexual partners.
