Test: Sexually Transmitted Diseases STDs (NCERT) - Question 6
Save

STDs lead to:

Detailed Solution: Question 6

Option A is partially correct, as STDs can cause symptoms such as itching, fluid discharge, pain, and swellings.
Option B is also correct, as STDs can lead to severe complications like PID, ectopic pregnancies, still births, infertility, and abortions.
Option C is correct because both (1) and (2) are true and encompass the range of symptoms and complications associated with STDs.
Option D is incorrect because STDs do lead to both the symptoms and complications described.

Topic in NCERT: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)

Line in NCERT: "Early symptoms of most of these are minor and include itching, fluid discharge, slight pain, swellings, etc., in the genital region. This could lead to complications later, which include pelvic inflammatory diseases (PID), abortions, still births, ectopic pregnancies, infertility or even cancer of the reproductive tract."

Detailed Solution: Question 7

The correct option is C: Among the given options, there is only one complication which is not related to STDs is Erythroblastosis foetalis.

Rest others are related with sexually transmitted diseases (STD).
Option A: pelvic inflammatory diseases are related to STDs.
Option B: still births can be related to STDs.
Option D: sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can increase the risk of an ectopic pregnancy

Test: Sexually Transmitted Diseases STDs (NCERT) - Question 8
Save

Sexually transmitted infections cannot spread through:

(a) Using unsterile surgical instruments
(b) Infected mother to foetus
(c) Kissing
(d) Inheritance
(e) Transfusion of blood from infected persons
(f) Using sterile needles
(g) Infected foetus to mother

Detailed Solution: Question 8

  • (a) Using unsterile surgical instruments: STIs can be spread through unsterile surgical instruments if they are contaminated with infected blood or bodily fluids. So, this option is not correct for our answer.

  • (b) Infected mother to foetus: STIs can be transmitted from an infected mother to the foetus during pregnancy or childbirth. So, this option is not correct for our answer.

  • (c) Kissing: Most STIs are not spread through kissing. Kissing is generally not a mode of transmission for most STIs, except for some, like herpes simplex virus (HSV), which can cause oral herpes. However, for the purpose of this question, kissing is considered generally non-transmissive for STIs.

  • (d) Inheritance: STIs are not inherited. They are transmitted through direct contact with infected bodily fluids or through specific modes of transmission, not through genetic inheritance.

  • (e) Transfusion of blood from infected persons: STIs can be spread through blood transfusion if the blood is contaminated with the virus. So, this option is not correct for our answer.

  • (f) Using sterile needles: Using sterile needles does not transmit STIs. Proper sterilization of needles prevents transmission. So, this option is correct for our answer.

  • (g) Infected foetus to mother: The transmission of STIs from an infected foetus to the mother is not a typical mode of infection. The usual mode is from mother to foetus, not the reverse. Therefore, this option is correct for our answer.

Thus, the correct options where STIs cannot spread are (c) Kissing, (d) Inheritance, (f) Using sterile needles, and (g) Infected foetus to mother, which makes Option 2 the correct answer.

Topic in NCERT: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)

Line in NCERT: "Some of these infections like hepatitis-B and HIV can also be transmitted by sharing of injection needles, surgical instruments, etc., with infected persons, transfusion of blood, or from an infected mother to the foetus too."

Test: Sexually Transmitted Diseases STDs (NCERT) - Question 9
Save

Assertion(A): Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) cannot be prevented by the use of cervical cap and diaphragms.

Reason(R): Birth control pill can prevent STD.

Detailed Solution: Question 9

Option A is incorrect because the cervical cap and diaphragms do not prevent STDs, but the birth control pill does not prevent STDs either.
Option B is incorrect because while (A) is true, (R) is false as the birth control pill does not prevent STDs.
Option C is correct because (A) is true (cervical caps and diaphragms do not prevent STDs) and (R) is false (birth control pills do not prevent STDs).
Option D is incorrect because (A) is true but (R) is false.

Test: Sexually Transmitted Diseases STDs (NCERT) - Question 10
Save

Prevention of transmission of STDs is possible by:

Detailed Solution: Question 10

Option A is correct as avoiding sex with unknown or multiple partners reduces the risk of STDs.
Option B is correct as using condoms is an effective method of preventing STDs.
Option C is correct as consulting a doctor for early detection and complete treatment helps in managing and preventing the spread of STDs.
Option D is correct because all the listed methods are effective for preventing the transmission of STDs.

Topic in NCERT: Prevention of sexually transmitted infections

Line in NCERT: "In case of doubt, one should go to a qualified doctor for early detection and get complete treatment if diagnosed with infection."
