it was the Library of Medicine i read...its right in the abstract. Multiple partners and partner choice ... [Sex Transm Dis. 1992 Sep-Oct] - PubMed - NCBI

Multiple sexual partners and partner choice are believed to increase the risk of sexually transmitted disease (STD), but these behaviors had not previously been assessed outside of clinical populations. In this study, a cross-sectional survey among single, white, female students in their senior year of college was conducted to measure the association between behavioral risk factors and the acquisition of self-reported STDs during college. The usable response rate was 47.2% (n = 467). The combined prevalence of chlamydial infection, gonorrhea, genital herpes, human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, syphilis, and trichomoniasis during a 3.5-year period was 11.7%. There was a strong association between number of sexual partners and having an STD: those women with 5 or more sexual partners were 8 times more likely to report having an STD than those with only 1 partner, even after adjusting for age at first intercourse (odds ratio = 8.1; 95% confidence interval = 1.99, 32.64). The prevalence of a history of STDs increased with more causal partner choice and earlier age at first intercourse, but neither factor was independently associated with a history of STDs. Of the respondents, 23% always used condoms. Future research should focus on identifying ways of effectively changing high-risk sexual behavior.

Did you read what you bolded? From your own posting:
"neither factor was independently associated with a history of STDs."

"neither factor was independently associated"

"neither factor"

You didn't prove your point. You actually kind proved mine.

Frankly, idk why are having this discussion. Premise of the thread is that the woman has had no STDs anyway. I think STD just came up as people with lower numbers were trying to one-up those with higher numbers or whatever for some odd reason.
