106. List some of the risks associated with breast cancer. How can women reduce their risk of
getting breast cancer?
Answer: Risks associated with the development of breast cancer, in women
include (American Cancer Society, 2012): not having children or having a first child later in life
(i.e., 30s and 40s); reaching menarche at an early age; beginning menopause at a late age; having

daughter) who have had breast cancer; having a genetic condition or genetic mutations that can
lead to breast cancer; having been treated with radiation therapy to the chest area or breasts;
being overweight, particularly after menopause; Using hormone replacement therapy for an
extended time; using oral contraceptives recently; drinking alcohol; being age 65 or older.
As numerous as these risk factors are, women can lessen the chances of getting breast cancer by
maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding the use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and
limiting alcohol consumption. Also, every woman should conduct a monthly breast self-exam.
These exams ought to be considered a regular part of how they maintain their sexual body. In
addition to performing self-exams, it is important to receive regular medical checkups.

108. How can alcohol and drug use compromise sexual health?
Answer: Alcohol and drug use are problematic for sexual health in many ways. We know that
using injectable drugs is a high-risk behavior for the transmission of HIV, hepatitis, and other
viruses due to the high incidence of sharing needles. In addition, people who are intoxicated or in
an altered state of mind may be less discriminating about whom they choose to have sex with.
Alcohol and drugs are also known to lower inhibitions, and people may make a decision while
intoxicated that they would not make when sober. Finally, in addition to compromised judgment,
being intoxicated may make it more difficult to negotiate condom use or to use them correctly
with your partner.

Answer: Sex partners must talk about STIs before having sex. If they wait until after having sex,
it may be more difficult and they may have already exposed the other person to an STI. Partners
should consider talking about STIs in a quiet face-to-face setting, perhaps while taking a walk or
on a quiet date together. The conversation should be in person, however, not by way of texting
and email, because of the depth of conversation and the details that need to be discussed.
Partners should also prepare themselves emotionally. One may be either defensive or
uncomfortable with the discussion, so both need to express their feelings toward each other
clearly, which is why the conversation is necessary. To minimize a partner’s defensiveness, the
supporting partner can offer her own risk factors first and refrain from interrogation tactics. The
couple should consider going together if they’re being tested for STIs. Getting tested together
may remove some of the pressure both are feeling at this time.
Finally, when sex partners start having sex and one notices a symptom of an STI, he or she must
tell the other partner immediately. This will be an upsetting time, but by gently pointing out the
symptom(s) and discussing their concerns about health and well-being, the partners are paving
the way to a healthy and enjoyable sexual relationship.

110. Explain the origin of the stigma of HIV/AIDS. Discuss the evolution of these views.
Answer: At the beginning of the AIDS crisis in the United States, most of the illnesses and
deaths were occurring among gay men—and so they were mistakenly referred to as the “gay
cancer.” This early trend is primarily responsible for the stigma HIV and AIDS still have today,
despite the fact that both occur in every community in the world. In December 1982, a 20-
month-old child who had received multiple transfusions of blood and blood products died from
infections related to AIDS. This case provided the first clear evidence that an infectious agent
caused AIDS. It also raised serious concerns about the safety of the world’s blood supply. In that
same month, the CDC reported the first cases of possible transmission of AIDS from mother to
child. Following this discovery, it was reported that increasing numbers of women were
contracting HIV through heterosexual sex. Today heterosexual sex is one of the most common
ways of transmitting HIV.

115. What are some of the ways in which a society can control the spread of STIs? How does
poverty affect sexual health of communities?
Answer: There are many ways for societies to improve conditions and control the spread of STIs.
They might, for example, launch community campaigns to alert people to HIV risk, distribute
condoms, and teach people how to talk with their intimate partners about sexual risk. More than
anything, such measures would equip people with the knowledge, skills, and motivation to fight
HIV in their own backyards.
Research shows that HIV infections are actually increasing in some populations globally and in
the United States. This is the result of poverty, poor health care, and lack of education about
HIV, as well as high-risk unprotected sexual behavior. Researchers have concluded that poverty
exerts a huge negative effect on sexual well-being and human rights. There appears to be a
strong correlation between poverty and being sexually exploited, being the victim of gender
violence, and being susceptible to sexually transmitted infection.
