E) Receiving a blood transfusion


Ans: A, D
Feedback:
Any person is in a high-risk group for STIs if they have multiple sexual partners, do not use a condom during sex, have other STIs, and/or have a sexual partner who has had an STD. Although once a risk for exposure to HIV, blood transfusions no longer place an individual at high risk for acquiring an STI.
