  1. Candidiasis

  2. Chlamydiasis

  3. Giardiasis

  4. Genital wrats


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Candidiasis is a fungal infection typically on skin or mucous membranes caused by candida . While , Chlamydiasis is a common STD spread by bacteria .Giardiasis is an infection that is caused by a parasite , Giardia lambia .On the other hand , genital warts are small bumps on the genitals caused by a common sexually transmitted infection .
So , the correct option is 'Giardiasis'  .

The confirmatory test for sexually transmitted disease is 

  1. WIDAL

  2. TST

  3. ELISA

  4. Cytotoxic test


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The most common type of STD in the world is AIDS , which is spread by HIV virus . It can be detected by ELISA test . It detects and measures the antibodies in the blood .  So, the correct option is  'ELISA'.

Source of infection in diseases like tuberculosis, mumps and whooping cough is 

  1. Direct contact

  2. Droplets of saliva and cough

  3. Carrier organism

  4. A vector


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Tuberculosis, mumps and whooping cough are the contagious types of diseases. The diseases can spread through the droplets or the aerosols which are formed during coughing or sneezing. These aerosols contain the bacterium. The bacterium may enter the other person's body who is healthy and cause infection. 

Thus, the correct answer is option B. 

Which of the following are all sexually transmitted diseases?

  1. Hepatitis-B, AIDS, Haemophilia

  2. AIDS, Syphilis, Cholera

  3. Trichomoniasis, Malaria, HIV

  4. Gonorrhoea, Hepatitis-B, Chlamydia


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The most common sexually transmitted diseases are HIV/AIDS, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis,Hepatitis Mycoplasma genitalium, Trichomoniasis, HPV, crabs/pubic mice.

So, the correct answer is 'Gonorrhea, Hepatitis-B, Chlamydia'.

Which of the following sexually transmitted disease is caused by yeast?

  1. Candidiasis

  2. Scabies

  3. Enterobiasis

  4. Syphilis


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A. Candidiasis- Candida albicans (Fungi)

B. Scabies- Sarcoptes scabiei (Ectoparasie)
C. Enterobiasis- Enterbius vermicularis (Nematode).
D. Syphilis- Treponema pallidium (Bacteria).
So, the correct answer is 'Candidiasis'.

Which one is correct regarding sexually transmitted diseases (STD)?

  1. Haemophilia is one of the STD

  2. Genital herpes and sickle cell anaemia are both STD

  3. Chances of a five years old boy contracting a STD are very little

  4. A person may contract syphilis by sharing milk with one already suffering from disease


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Sexually transmitted infections are more common in 15-24 years age group. Gonorrhoea, syphilis, genital herpes, chlamydiasis, genital warts, trichomoniasis, hepatitis-B and AIDS are some of the common STDs. Haemophilia is sex-linked recessive disease, which show its transmission from unaffected carrier female to some of male progeny. Sickle cell anaemia is an autoimmune linked recessive trait in which both the partners are carrier for the gene

So, the correct answer is 'Chances of a five years old boy contracting a STD are very little',

Which is not a sexually transmitted disease?

  1. Genital warts

  2. Trichomoniasis

  3. Chlamydiasis

  4. Syphilis

  5. Myasthenia gravis


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Diseases or infections which are transmitted through sexual intercourse with infected persons are collectively called sexually transmitted diseases(STDs).

Examples- HIV leading AIDS, gonorrhoea, Syphilis, Chlamydiasis, Genital herpes, Genital warts, Hepatitis-B, Trichomonasis, Enterobiasis, Scabies, Candidiasis.
Myasthenia gravis is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease that causes weakness in the skeletal muscles, which are responsible for breathing and moving parts of the body, including the arms and legs. In this condition, antibodies, which are proteins that normally attack foreign, harmful substances in the body, attack the neuromuscular junction.
So, the corrrect answer is 'Myasthenia gravis'.

Which one is a sex-related disease?

  1. Christmas disease

  2. Klinefelter's syndrome

  3. Phenylketonuria

  4. Albinism


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
In haemophilia, the blood does not clot as it should. Haemophilia is normally an inherited disorder. It happens because of a defect in one of the clotting factor genes on the X chromosome. Haemophilia tends to occur in males since the gene can be passed from mother to son. Males typically lack a second X chromosome so they are unable to make up for the defective gene. Most females have XX sex chromosomes while most males have XY sex chromosomes.
Haemophilia B, also known as "Christmas disease," occurs when a person lacks clotting factor IX.
So, the correct answer is 'Christmas disease'.

Assertion:  Males suffer from sex-linked disorders more often than females.

Reason: Sex-linked traits are mostly governed by recessive genes.

  1. If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion

  2. If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion

  3. If the assertion is true but the reason is false

  4. If both the assertion and reason are false

  5. If the assertion is false but reason is true


Correct Option: A

  3. Pneumonia

  4. Malaria


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by Trichomonas vaginalis
Pneumonia is caused by bacteria
Cancer - uncontrolled cell division, while Malaria is a protozoan disease
So, the correct answer is 'Trichomoniasis'
