STD stands for sexually transmitted disease.  They are diseases spread through sexual contact; such as syphilis, herpes, chlamydia, AIDS, and several others.\n\nhttp://www.afraidtoask.com/std.html

Gonorrhea is spread through contact with the penis, vagina, mouth, or anus. Ejaculation does not have to occur for gonorrhea to be transmitted or acquired. Gonorrhea can also be spread from mother to baby during delivery.\n\nPeople who have had gonorrhea and received treatment may get infected again if they have sexual contact with a person infected with gonorrhea.\n\ntreatment...\nSeveral antibiotics can successfully cure gonorrhea in adolescents and adults. However, drug-resistant strains of gonorrhea are increasing in many areas of the world, including the United States, and successful treatment of gonorrhea is becoming more difficult. Because many people with gonorrhea also have chlamydia, another sexually transmitted disease, antibiotics for both infections are usually given together. Persons with gonorrhea should be tested for other STDs.\n\nIt is important to take all of the medication prescribed to cure gonorrhea. Although medication will stop the infection, it will not repair any permanent damage done by the disease. People who have had gonorrhea and have been treated can get the disease again if they have sexual contact with persons infected with gonorrhea. If a person's symptoms continue even after receiving treatment, he or she should return to a doctor to be reevaluated.\n\nhis STD is spread through contact with an infected vagina, penis, anus, or mouth. It is spread through semen or vaginal fluids during unprotected sexual contact with a partner who has it. Touching infected sex organs, like the vagina or penis, and then touching your eyes can cause an eye infection. It cannot be passed by shaking hands or sitting on a toilet seat.\n\n\nGood luck to you sweety, i hope that you find out who done this to you!

The most common way disease is spread is by the hands.  Other ways are by coming into contact with contaminated objects and surfaces, and by droplet infection (sneezing, coughing).  Body fluids have already been mentioned.

Some STD's can go from the sexual organs to the throat, like Herpes.

I seriously doubt it.  I guess, most of these people don't understand that if it was that easily spread, almost everyone would have it by now.  Kissing will NOT spread it...oral sex is said to have an EXTREMELY low chance because there are not any documented cases that it has been spread in this way.  Oral sex is more likely to spread other STDs...such as herpes.\n\nIf you've let a guy who is HIV positive go down on you, relax.  I don't think you've contracted it this way.  Go ahead and get checked if you are worried, though.  You should be checked regularly, anyway.\n\nBy the way, its not just plain *ucking stupid to even let him.  Remember, most of the people who answer questions on this site aren't the brightest people around.

Serious STD issues happen in both worlds. The suburbanites just hide them better.\n\nDid you know that viral STDs like warts and herpes are more prevalent in educated and affluent populations? whereas bacterial STDs tend to strike the young, the stupid and the poor. Those include chlamydia and gonorrhea.\n\nSo there are plenty of dumb teens carrying gonorrhea and chlamydia in the 'burbs. And they might never know they have it because those diseases often show no symptoms. it's a shame because a lot of those girls will find out they'll never be able to have kids beucase they were too dumb to use condoms.

All the same ones you can get from vaginal or anal sex.  The probability of say HIV/AIDS, or other fluid transmitted disease is low but can happen. It is most dangerous if you have open sores in or near your mouth.  Other things like herpes, gonorrhoea and such can be transmitted to the mouth or around the mouth.  Advise is to be sure of your partners STD status and use protection for all sexual activity.\n\nTerry

Absolutely.  And it happens frequently.  Some STD's may be less symptomatic than others, but you can pass them on to your future partners as well.  HPV, the virus that causes warts and cervical cancer, is one of those that is easily passed through oral sex.  Another is herpes (HSV).

Lots of STDs have been around passed from person to person for thousands of years, like syphillis.\n\nSome STDs (and other diseases, like the plague) may come from animals...sort of. But not from sex with animals as people like to say.\n\nAIDs is thought to have originated as a primate disease (i.e. monkeys) but it wasn't fatal to the primates. At some point humans ate primate meat or were exposed to their blood or saliva (through a monkey bite, or butchering them, for example), and were exposed to the virus which later mutated to become a human disease.

Its virus and spread from infection with unsafe sex and infected blood exchange/ transmission from infected person.

Genital HPV infection is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). Human papillomavirus is the name of a group of viruses that includes more than 100 different strains or types. More than 30 of these viruses are sexually transmitted, and they can infect the genital area of men and women including the skin of the penis, vulva (area outside the vagina), or anus, and the linings of the vagina, cervix, or rectum. Most people who become infected with HPV will not have any symptoms and will clear the infection on their own.

Genital warts can spread. Even if you have never had anal sex, the virus is in your body. It doesn't just affect the vagina or penis, it affects the whole area.

Aids is a disease that is spread through intercourse with different partners during sexual acts, or sharing dirty infected needles for drug useage, or even from bodily fluids being exchanged...

The trouble with STD's is that people who have them often look (and feel) relatively healthy. You can't tell by looking at someone if they have these diseases or not. I agree with your other responder that many diseases can be passed through laro (spelled backwards!) sex. These diseases then can affect the throat similar to how they would affect the vagina or suna (spelled backwards!).

it can be spread through sexual intercourse, and it can be spread from a mother to a baby during delivery.  It can also be spread through oral sex.
