Abstinence, Be faithful, Condom use
Antibiotics, Birth control pills, Counseling

Identify the correct order/process of condom use (10 steps).
Check the expiration date; carefully open the package; ensure the condom is right-side-up; pinch the tip to remove air; place on the erect penis; roll to the base; use water-based lubricant as needed; after ejaculation hold the base and withdraw while still erect; wrap and dispose in the trash; never reuse.
Put the condom on before checking the package; use oil-based lubricant; roll halfway; remove air after intercourse; flush down the toilet; reuse if undamaged; store in a wallet; withdraw after losing erection; tear open with teeth; throw in recycling.
Check expiration; open package with teeth; place on a non-erect penis; roll to the base; pinch tip after rolling; use any lubricant; remove during intercourse; rinse and hang to dry; reuse next time; dispose if torn.
Skip checking the date; open the package; unroll the condom first; stretch over the penis without pinching the tip; apply lotion; continue after ejaculation without holding the base; remove later; toss in toilet; reuse if needed; store in heat.
What is the difference between Bacterial and Viral STIs, and name one example of each.
Bacterial STIs are caused by bacteria and can usually be cured with antibiotics (e.g., Chlamydia or Gonorrhea), while Viral STIs are caused by viruses and cannot be cured but can be managed (e.g., HIV or Herpes).
Bacterial STIs are caused by viruses and cannot be cured (e.g., HIV), while Viral STIs are caused by bacteria and can be cured with antibiotics (e.g., Chlamydia).
Both Bacterial and Viral STIs are caused by parasites and are equally curable with antibiotics (e.g., Herpes and HIV).
Bacterial STIs and Viral STIs are the same; examples include Chlamydia and HIV, both cured by antibiotics.
