Dear Readers:
I think my life experience is what qualifies me to write this column. I made every mistake imaginable. But have learned from them. Most important I still remember what it was like to be 12, 13, 14, 15, and so on. Currently I am a single mom, I have two wonderful boys. One in college. We are all happy emotionally. We love life, and know that you can too. I try to be the kind of parent that understands. I know that I can help you to understand where you parents are coming from, and help you get over the difficulties of being young. You can even have your parents write to me and I will help them to get over their fears and at least respect you and your feelings. I have been married and divorced twice, so I have experience in that field also. But now I own my own home, and my own business and am successful. Lots of luck to you! Hope to hear from you.

ok, so people get STD's when they have sex with someone who is STD positive. But, like, where does thaat person get the STD? You can say that if they were sexually active with someone in the past, that they could have contracted the disease from them. But what I'm saying is, everyone who has an STD couldn't have gotten it from having sex; there has to be a beginning to this. I was thinking that possibly a person can be a carrier of an STD, and not be affected by it. Hence my question, can one get an STD from having sex with a virgin? (link)

There are three types of STD's. Bacterial, Viral and well, the live ones, like crabs, or lice.
Bacterial, STD's, if caught in time, can be cured easily with anti=biotics. When not caught in time, like syphilus, can cause brain damage and even death. Viral STD's like herpes, and HIV-AIDS, once you get them, you have them for life. The herpes virus lives in your system and can rear it's ugly head in times of stress, or as an alergic reaction to something you are eating, or taking. People can be carriers of any of these STD's and NOT have any symptoms, and yet still pass it on. Bacterial STD's like gonnoreah, and syphillus, will cause pain and inflammation. You'll know eventually for sure that something is wrong and you'll need to see a doctor to get anti-biotics. With Viral STD's, you could have caught one, but it may not appear right away.
When it comes to STD's (all of them) they are living organisms, they know what they like. They go where they will best survive. For example, you won't get gonnoreah in your chest or nasal cavities. Cause gonnoreah won't prosper there. They like the reproductive organs of both men and women. And you won't get a cold in your reproductive organs, because cold viruses are happier in your nose or chest.
Bacteria and viruses have been on this earth longer that humans, they always find a way to survive. Hope this helps and is not too confusing.

you said people can be carriers of the STD and not show sypmtoms, yet be able to pass it on. Does that mean that they can have it without having had sex before or even oral sex?
