Risk factor for sexually transmitted infections you mean? We know how to avoid spreading them: get tested regularly, and use barriers when necessary. The number of partners is less important than those two. If you don’t do the first two, even one partner can be a problem.
- s1artibartfast 4y agoSure, but if you don't do the first two, your risk increases linearly with the number of partners. The relevance really comes down do what question you are trying to answer. If you want to know what factors have the biggest impact on reducing transmission, you will get one answer. If you want to know what populations are at higher risk and what are they doing different, you will get another answer.
