What will be an ideal response?


Answers can vary.If Mark knows he has an infection, he should be responsible enough to abstain from sexual activity. He also should go to a physician or a clinic for treatment and ask his doctor when he can safely resume sexual activity. Thus informed, he should abstain until it is safe.Mark also should want to protect his partner. For example, if he is diagnosed with an STI and believes he knows who gave it to him, he should think of ways he might bring up the subject of STIs with this person. He needs to take responsibility and discuss this matter with his partner. Subsequently, medical treatment can be initiated, and other people can be protected from infection.
