the module, answer these questions. Paging Options
This week’s discussion will take a closer look at STDs or STIs. For this question, discuss more than what is initially presented in the

discussion questions for the week, and react to what our nation can do to see a continued decrease in STI rates. What populations are the

most vulnerable to STI infections? If you were a parent discussing these types of risks with your children, what would you say? If you are
