Hints & Solutions
(d) AIDS and hepatitis B are sexually transmitted infections. However, they do not specifically affect the reproductive organs. AIDS is HIV infection affecting the immune system and opportunistic pathogens can infect various body organs. Hepatitis B is a viral (hepatitis B virus) infection that affects liver and can cause both acute and chronic disease. Agents causing genital herpes, genital warts and chlamydiasis produce lesions on genital organs and also directly affect the reproductive system.
