Online tools designed to assess the probability of sexually transmitted infection (STI) exposure often consider factors such as sexual history, specific sexual activities, partner information, and prevalence data. For example, such a tool might incorporate questions about condom usage, the number of partners, and the geographical location where exposure occurred. These tools are not diagnostic and do not replace professional medical advice.
These assessments can offer valuable insights into potential risks, promoting proactive sexual health management. By providing personalized risk profiles, they can empower individuals to make informed decisions about testing and preventive measures. Historically, understanding STI risk has relied on less personalized, more generalized information. The development of these tools represents an advancement in accessible and individualized risk assessment.
