High-risk sexual behaviour - what does this mean

High-risk sexual behaviour is the practice of engaging in unprotected sexual activity, including having multiple sexual partners, not using condoms, and engaging in sexual activity with someone who is infected with a sexually transmitted infection. this behaviour increases the risk of contracting hiv, other stis, and unintended pregnancies.

What happens during the disease - high-risk sexual behaviour

High-risk sexual behaviour is a pattern of behaviour that increases the risk of contracting or transmitting sexually transmitted infections, including hiv. it is often associated with a lack of knowledge about the risks associated with unprotected sex, the lack of access to contraception or other protective measures, and the presence of social and economic factors that make it difficult to make safe choices. these factors can lead to a higher rate of sexual activity, multiple partners, and unprotected sex, which can increase the risk of infection.
