What is the leading cause of cancer death among men?

Prostate Cancer
Colorectal Cancer
Lung Cancer
Skin cancer

Correct Answer

A. Lung Cancer

Explanation

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among men. This is because smoking is the primary risk factor for developing lung cancer, and historically, smoking rates have been higher among men. Lung cancer is often diagnosed at an advanced stage, making it more difficult to treat. Additionally, lung cancer tends to spread quickly to other parts of the body, further contributing to its high mortality rate.

Having gonorrhea can increase your risk of getting or transmitting HIV

True
False

Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

People with gonorrhea can more easily contract HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Also, HIV-infected people with gonorrhea are more likely to transmit HIV to someone else. Untreated gonorrhea can cause other serious and permanent health problems in both women and men, including infertility.

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that may or may not have symptoms. The surest way to avoid transmission of STDs is to abstain from sexual intercourse or to be in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with a partner who has been tested and is known to be uninfected. Latex condoms, when used consistently and correctly, can reduce the risk of transmission of gonorrhea
