Question about STDS?

Question

Can you catch an STD from drinking after someone?? I know it is through bodily fluids, would spit be considered one??

Answer 1

You'll only be able to get cold sores which is typically herpes simplex virus 1. I say typically because herpes simplex virus 1 can also cause genital herpes, but this is more rare.

Also, it's not so much the fluid that a person is sharing with someone who has cold sores, it's where the persons lips and mouth were. A person can also get cold sores from sharing chap stick, lipstick, and kissing someone who has the virus. Kissing is the most common way to spread cold sores. And no, you will not get herpes from bodily fluids like blood or spit.

Answer 2

How STDs Spread
One reason STDs spread is because people think they need to have sexual intercourse to become infected. That's wrong. A person can get some STDs, like herpes or genital warts, through skin-to-skin contact with an infected area or sore. Another myth about STDs is that you can't get them if you have oral or anal sex. That's also wrong because the viruses or bacteria that cause STDs can enter the body through tiny cuts or tears in the mouth and anus, as well as the genitals.

STDs also spread easily because you can't tell whether someone has an infection. In fact, some people with STDs don't even know that they have them. These people are in danger of passing an infection on to their sex partners without even realizing it.

Some of the things that increase a person's chances of getting an STD are:

Sexual activity at a young age. The younger a person starts having sex, the greater his or her changes of becoming infected with an STD.
Lots of sex partners. People who have sexual contact — not just intercourse, but any form of intimate activity — with many different partners are more at risk than those who stay with the same partner.
Unprotected sex. Latex condoms are the only form of birth control that lessen your risk of contracting an STD. Spermicides, diaphragms, and other birth control methods may help prevent pregnancy, but they don't protect a person against STDs.

Answer 3

No, spit or saliva is not considered one. STDS are only transmitted through blood. If someone's mouth is bleeding and drinks something and you drink after them and they had aids, you will probably get an STD. But saliva, urine, or anything like that is not the way it is transmitted

Answer 4

NO, Just Oral Herpes, And that you can catch just by some one kissing you on your cheek,due to a cold sore, Only thing you can catch from drinking after some one is Strep Throat,Mono what is called the kissing disease. So you are fine. Feel free to pick up Pamphlets @ any Health Clinic and READ. You can learn so much from READING.

Answer 5

the only std you may contract by drinking after someone is herpes... they may have a cold sore & it may be open thus leaving bacteria on a glass you drink from after they have drank from it.
bodily fluids is usually pertaining to blood, sperm, and vaginal fluids.

Answer 6

Spit is definitely can. For example, if the person spit in the other person's eye. Guess what!!! That person now has AIDS.
