Which one of the following statements is correct regarding sexually transmitted diseases?

1. The chances of a 5 year boy contacting a STD are very little
2. A person may contact syphilis by sharing milk with one already suffering from the disease
3. Haemophilia is one of the STD
4. Genital herpes and sickle-cell anaemia are both STD

Correct answer: The chances of a 5 year boy contacting a STD are very little

Solution

The correct statement is that a 5-year-old boy has a very low chance of contracting an STD because sexually transmitted diseases are usually spread through sexual contact. The other options are incorrect: syphilis is not spread by sharing milk, and haemophilia and sickle-cell anaemia are inherited disorders, not STDs.
