A number of STIs are asymptomatic (present no symptoms). Therefore, affected persons can carry a disease without knowing they have it. Which of the following statements consider the economic perspective of carrying an STI for a time without knowledge of it?

Select one:

People who have contracted hepatitis B could be asymptomatic. This could cause them to transfer the disease without knowing it through sexual contact.

Gonorrhea can spread to the joints. People who have affected mobility often need the help of their family to help them survive.

If a person does not know they have syphilis and become pregnant, the developing embryo could have birth defects.

 Untreated chlamydia can cause PID. This increases the number of annual patient referrals to the infertility clinic, which then increases the demand of the already low number of fertility specialists in Alberta.
