Infection Risk
Dimension 340 of 1,100 · Health Lens
Infection Risk measures the extent to which an expression concerns exposure to, transmission of, or status regarding communicable infection, especially through sexual contact or shared injection equipment. It encompasses perceived vulnerability, risky behavior, protective behavior, and confirmed infection-related status.
Minimal Infection Risk
Expressions activating this band contain little or no clear infection-related content, or mention health and social topics without indicating meaningful exposure, transmission, or infection status.
Low Infection Risk
Expressions activating this band refer to health status, illness, or behavior that could bear on infection risk, but the risk implication is indirect, ambiguous, or only lightly specified.
Moderate Infection Risk
Expressions activating this band describe concrete exposure-related situations such as condomless sex, shared injection equipment, or social consequences of having an illness. The infection relevance is explicit, but the focus remains on particular events or complications rather than sustained transmission risk.
High Infection Risk
Expressions activating this band directly address behaviors or statuses strongly tied to communicable infection, including unprotected sex, needle sharing, venereal disease, testing positive, or avoidance based on perceived infection risk.
Severe Infection Risk
Expressions activating this band center on serious sexually transmitted infection and its spread, especially explicit concern with being infected, preventing transmission, and the risks or perceived benefits of unprotected sex.
