Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
HIV is a sexually transmitted infection that is often acquired through unprotected sexual contact, particularly in young adults who engage in risky sexual behaviors. HIV has become a global epidemic due to the high prevalence of unprotected sex among young adults in many parts of the world. And even though contraception helps to prevent unintended pregnancies, it doesn't protect against sexually transmitted infections like HIV.
