Yes, some STD, like HIV, herpes, can be dormant in the body, and dont present symptoums, but u can transsmite the STD. So better check your self if u have some doubt

Chlamydia can stay hidden in women's system for a long time so there is a chance she could have had it without knowing and passed it on that way. The infection can only be passed through sexual intercourse or sexual activity.

No :). You can't catch a disease from an uncircumsized penis if the person does not have an STD.

Yes, you can get pregnant, but if you do have an std, you can pass that along to your baby. Especially if you have Chlamydia, which if left untreated can cause blindness in the baby as it passes through the birth canal.  Also, if you continue to get std's, it can cause you to become sterile, which, in my opinion, you don't need children if you cannot protect yourself.

The guy above doesn't know what he's talking about!!!!!!!\nYes you can. Giving Or*l Sex to someone who has an STD can tansmit it to the mouth, thort, and sometimes the stomach. Herpes type2 AKA Genital Herpes has been seen in all 3 places above.

Yes you can get STD from oral sex. \nConsider this a high risk behavior. Its like surfing not every surfer who goes in the water is bitten by a shark. However we all know that happens. Conditions for an std to be passed are pretty specific but if you don't know much about your partner you are rolling the dice. \nSTD include but not limited to \nHerpes\nGonorrhea\nHIV

There are no drugs that I know of that cause STDs. Maybe you are thinking about drugs that involve needles, and maybe they get STD's from sharing those needles like AIDS and such. If you don't share a needle with this person, and use a condom, it is highly unlikely that you would catch an STD from this person. But if you don't know the answer to this question, you may want to rethink having sex with ANYONE until you have all the right information. It is just too dangerous and not worth taking unnecessary risks.

Thank God not. STD's can be prevented by abstinence or by the use of a contraceptive method such as a condom.

Registered Nurse here; I must agree with you, however this is not the laws on sexually transmitted disease that governor our state.  Now keep in mind, HIV/AIDS, is a death sentence, however the law is on the side of the individual with the disease.  Trust is a wonderful thing, but in this day and age, I believe casual sex is not a healthy choice.  For many people do lie about there sexually history, especially if it involves an STD.  The only thing to make sure is you and your potential partner get tested prior to taking that step.  Hopefully if your both willing to get tested, it's not a one night stand and your relationship has potential.  If you don't heed this advice, make sure condoms are used.  Will not prevent STD's, but decreases your chances of contacting one.  Thanks for the opportunity to address this question.

It is possible, but not probable.\n\nSTD's can be passed from mother to child, such as HIV and others, so just because a person is a virgin does not mean they don't have one.\n\nOral sex can also infect you with certain STD's  please check out this link from the center of disease control about it....always use a condom please\n\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/std/hiv/STDFact-STD&HIV.htm

Can sex give you an std?

Yes- there are many std's and diseases that can be transmitted this way, including AIDS

If the person you are having sex with does not have a STD then you cannot be infected by them, even wihtout a condom.  The only problem is you can't know that, even if the person is a virign, or has recently been tested.  \n\nFor example a person could contract aids or herpes from a parent during childbirth and they could pass it to you.\n\nIf you wear a condom you reduce your risk of ALL STD's some to the point where it is almost impossible to contract them, But there are still some it is possible to get, such as genital herpes, genital warts and public lice (crabs).  \n\nIt is also possible that the condom could fail and that would increase your risk of all STD's, but you are still better off with a condom that breaks at some point then none at all.
