It is really important to know something before you begin with it. Sex is a very sensitive aspect of one’s life which should be considered of utmost importance unlike today, many people have taken it lightly. These days people are involved with multiple partners for sex which causes high chances of health risks and can affect a person physically and mentally. There are some major health risks associated with having multiple sex partners, some of them are as follows:

Human Immuno Deficiency Virus/ Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS): Having multiple sex partners has a higher risk of HIV through unprotected sex. It is common to get HIV if you have multiple sex partners because one of them might have it and through sex, it will be transmitted to you. To avoid having HIV, one should always use protection before proceeding and also avoid having multiple sex partners.

STDs: Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are diseases that are passed from one person to another through unprotected sex and include sexual dysfunction and diseases like chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis and trichomoniasis. STD’s can be avoided by using safe sex practices while having sex.

Cancers: Having multiple sex partners can cause types of cancers mainly, cervical and prostate cancer in women and men. 

Cervical Cancer: This is the type of cancer which starts in the cervix (lower part of the womb) of women, cervical cancer happens mostly because of a sexually transmitted infection known as Human papillomavirus (HPV)
