I was adopted.
Okay this may come off as a very stupid question, but since I was adopted, my birth my mom was really young when she had me.. well 20. And she wasnt married, gah I'm worried that if she had an STD or like ahh something, would I have it? Theres no way I can know, beacuse we dont even have any information about them.. and I'm kinda freaking out now.

I'm pretty sure that before you're adopted, you undergo some pretty extensive medical tests where they check for just about every disease you could have gotten. Go back to your medical records from the adoption, your parents should have those, and see what kind of tests were done. If you're still worried, you can always go to a clinic and get tested. (I think PlannedParenthood usually does those at free or reduced costs for teens.) Hope this helps!

Oh, yeah. Generally even if your birthmother had something it wouldn't be transmitted to you, unless it was something like AIDS. I wouldn't worry too much, there's a very slim chance.

Yes, if she had an STD it would've been passed to you, as would AIDS. As AIDS, STD's are passed through needles, sexual intercourse & sharing of needles. The only way to find out if you have an STD, is to get tested, and if it comes positive, it would indicate your mother had an STD, because I'm assuming you had no sexual intercourse.

I am not sure how old you are, but most likely your birth Mother's Dr would have been aware of any STD that could have been transmitted to you. If you have always been healthy, there is not much cause for concern. If that still doesn't relieve your fear, please talk to your parents or your Dr.

It's standard procedure in most states to thoroughly test adopted infants. And in any case, symptoms would have shown up by now. You don't need to worry.
But if you can't help it, talk to your doctor. A set of blood tests will give you definitive answers.

well if you atleast know her age and stuff then someone out there can get you info
but anyways chances are you dont and if she did they would prob let your parents know and they would have prob given her a c section to prevent anything from happening. if you are truely worried ask your parents or see a doctor.. its very rare but there is always a chance
