Answer:
Young women may not be able to conceive children as a result of contracting an STD as a teen.
Answer:
The statement that best explains the long-term consequences a young woman may experience as a result of adolescent sexual activity is that young women may not be able to conceive children as a result of contracting an STD as a teen (last option).
Explanation:
The report clearly explains that "Today, two in five sexually active teen girls have had an STD that can cause infertility and even death.", so infertility is a possible effect of unprotected sexual practices in teen girls.
Diseases such as gonorrhea and chlamydial infection can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease that, in the long term, can lead to blocked fallopian tubes and secondary infertility.
The other options do not correspond to long term consequences in adolescent women with STD's because
- Condom use protects against STDs, but does not represent a long-term consequence.
- The predisposition to contract HIV between 13 and 19 years old corresponds to male adolescents.
- Not finding an STD-free partner should not be a long-term physical consequence.
