Diseases transmitted through sexual contact are sexually transmitted diseases. Individuals having more than one sexual partners and doing unprotected sex are more prone to sexually transmitted diseases.

Explanation:

Individuals having more than one sexual partners and doing unprotected sex are more prone to sexually transmitted diseases. Here, the college student has more than one partner and not always use the condoms. So, she is prone to have sexually transmitted diseases if her partner are infected. Presence of warts indicates that she might have infected with Human Papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is a sexually transmitted infection (STI).
