Can u get a sexual disease if u was never intimate or sexual with someone?

Answer 1

There are a lot of STDs you can get by just rubbing skin together or even sharing blankets or bedding with someone who has an STD. Babies can also be born to mothers who have the STD.

If a person has genital herpes you can get it by rubbing genital areas together. You can also get cold sores from kissing someone. Many kids get cold sores from being kissed by an adult relative who has the virus. Even if the person is not having an outbreak, they can be "shedding" the virus after the sores have disappeared. Mothers can also pass it to their child at birth.

HPV is another STD you can by rubbing genital areas together. If the person has genital warts (caused by HPV) and the other person rubs up against them, they can contract HPV. HPV also causes hand and feet warts, which can be spread by rubbing feet together and even shaking hands (but this is more rare).

Crabs (Pubic Lice) is spread by skin-to-skin contact, or in clothing, bedding, or on a toilet seat harboring the insects. This is the ONLY STD you can get from a toilet seat and even this is REALLY rare.

Chancroid sores are spread through skin-to-skin contact with open sores, from hands that have touched a sore, or from sex toys such as a vibrator or dildo that have touched a sore.

Chlamydia can be passed by sharing sex toys, touching parts of the body with fingers (for example, chlamydia often occurs in the eyes). You can NOT catch chlamydia from simple kissing, sharing baths, towels, cups, or from toilet seats.

Gonorrhea (Clap) can be spread by sharing sex toys, touching parts of the body with fingers (for example, touching the private parts and then the eyes), any very close physical contact - the bacteria can be passed from hand to hand (very rare isolated cases), and from a mother to her baby at birth. You can NOT catch it from simple kissing, sharing baths, towels, cups, or from toilet seats.

All types of hepatitis can be spread without sex.
Type A hepatitis is contracted through anal-oral contact, by coming in contact with the feces of someone with hepatitis A, or by eating or drinking hepatitis A contaminated food or water.
Type B hepatitis can be contracted from infected blood or contaminated drug needles, including tattoo or body-piercing equipment. It can also be spread from a mother to her newborn.
Type C hepatitis is not easily spread through sex. You're more likely to get it through contact with infected blood, contaminated razors, needles, tattoo and body-piercing equipment, or manicure or pedicure tools that haven't been properly sanitized, and a mother can pass it to her baby during delivery.
Type D hepatitis can be passed through contact with infected blood, or contaminated needles.
Type E hepatitis is most likely to be transmitted in feces, through oral contact, or in water that's been contaminated.

HIV/AIDS can be spread from an HIV-positive mother to her baby, blood transfusions, and sharing needles if you do intravenous drugs.

Scabies can be spread through close contact or through sleeping in bedding or wearing clothes that are infested. Rarely, holding or shaking hands can transmit scabies.

Syphilis mothers can pass it to their babies by touching syphilis sores (chancres) and then touching the baby.

Answer 2

Surely its relative ? You are Promiscuous by my standards but I know a guy who bedded over 100 guys in a year!! He is a lovely friendly guy, and well er I am one of the 100 :-/ . It doesn't make you a bad person at all, some people just like the sex, I am more romantic , relationship cuddles etc As long as you are happy with it and are doing all the required protection then you should be okay! Its not for me but its your life dude

Answer 3

Yes, STD's aren't only passed through genital areas. If somebody contracted and STD through oral experiences and then you kissed that person, there is a possibility of you getting that STD as well. It's a crazy world. . . always use protection and know the person's recent history if you're thinking about getting involved with somebody.

Answer 4

Some STDs transmit through saliva. So Kissing can cause STDs. STD infected pregnant can transmit the disease/s to the child in her womb.

Answer 5

Depends on what your definition of intimacy is. Oral sex can get your gonorrhea and herpes. Sitting on the side of a gym hot tub, in a wet suit, can get you chlamydia. HIV isn't just sexual transmission, although it is included in the STD's. Get HIV infected blood in your cut finger. It's more than just being careful...it's learning to be smart.

Answer 6

I don't think so, but I worked with a girl that told me she got chlamydia from a toilet seat. She was so stupid. Come to find out, her husband was cheating on her. I knew it all along. You can't catch chlamydia from a toilet seat.

Answer 7

bood trasmission without proper testing and precaustions, using same blades for shaving, using same needles, etc are common, the rest based on ur activity and life style
