Question

Sexually transmitted infections, or STIs, may seem like a personal matter, but they can also have a serious impact on your social life. Imagine that a classmate has been diagnosed with an STI, and now the whole school knows. How do you think this would affect him/her socially?

Answer 1

They would get stares and people would probably tease them

Answer 2

First, there is nothing to be ashamed of. STD/STIs happen to many people who come from various backgrounds and social economic levels. Unlike in past times, this is no longer regulated to just streetwalkers or people who are extremely promiscuous. Though it is a new thing to the student they could be bullied about how they are infected or that they have had sex.
