What is the relationship between drugs and alcohol and the risk of acquiring an STI?
- Drugs and alcohol reduce the effectiveness of condoms.
- People who use drugs or alcohol often lie about their sexual history.
- Drugs are a factor only when they involve sharing needles or syringes with another person.
- People under the influence of drugs or alcohol are more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior.
Drugs and alcohol impair good judgment; they don't reduce the effectiveness of condoms. Many people, not just those who use drugs or alcohol, lie about their sexual history. Sharing needles with another person is a huge risk for acquiring HIV, but it is not the only risk related to drugs.
