Std Risk Calculator

How to Use the STD Risk Calculator

The STD Risk Calculator is a tool designed to estimate your risk level for sexually transmitted diseases based on several factors. Follow the step-by-step guide below to utilize this tool effectively.

Step 1: Enter Your Age

Locate the input field labeled Age. Here, you need to enter your current age. Ensure that the age you enter is between 16 and 100 years, as this is the valid range for calculations.

Step 2: Select Your Gender

Find the input labeled Gender. This field requires you to select your gender from the provided options. You can choose either ‘Male’ or ‘Female’ from the dropdown menu. This selection is mandatory for the calculation process.

Step 3: Enter Number of Sexual Partners

Proceed to the field labeled Number of Sexual Partners (Last 12 months). Enter the number of sexual partners you have had in the past year. The value should be a number between 0 and 100. This information helps determine your exposure level.

Step 4: Indicate Condom Usage Frequency

In the Condom Usage Frequency section, select an option that best describes your frequency of condom usage. The options available are ‘Always’, ‘Sometimes’, and ‘Never’. Choose the most appropriate option from the dropdown menu, as this will be factored into the risk assessment.

Step 5: Assess High-Risk Sexual Behavior

Next, navigate to the input field labeled High-Risk Sexual Behavior. Indicate whether or not you engage in high-risk sexual behaviors. Select ‘Yes’ if applicable, or ‘No’ if not. This input is essential for making an accurate risk calculation.

Step 6: Review the Results

Once all input fields have been populated, the calculator will provide several outputs:

• Base Risk Score: This score is calculated using the number of partners, condom usage frequency, and high-risk behavior indicator. It gives a baseline risk assessment value.
• Risk Level: Based on the Base Risk Score, you will receive a qualitative risk level categorization: Low Risk, Medium Risk, or High Risk.
• Risk Percentage: This is a converted base risk score into a percentage, indicating your risk relative to the maximum possible score.

By following these steps, you can use the STD Risk Calculator to better understand your potential risk level for STDs. Be sure to input accurate and honest information to ensure the results are reflective of your actual situation.
