Unprotected Sexual Intercourse

Unprotected sexual intercourse may lead a person to seek medical advice and request testing for STIs. The risk of infection for a person is assessed taking into record the number of partners and exposures, the transmission efficiency of each pathogen and the measured prevalence of every single STI within a population determined by biological and/or behavioral risk factors. This element contains sex, age, the number and sex of sexual partners and condom use. Transmission efficiency, which depends on both the likelihood of transmission for each intercourse episode and the duration of infectiousness for each organism, is relatively high for gonorrhoea, chlamydia and early syphilis. This is the case when infection condition of a sexual partner is usually unknown, clinical management of a patient later an unprotected sexual encounter normally includes estimating an individual’s risk based on epidemiological information.
