Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
It would be easier to answer the question if we knew what type of std the girl has. There is a form of Herpes with symptoms of cold sores on the mouth but it is a different strain of herpes. Like someone else said it is called a sexually transmitted disease because it is transmitted from some kind of sexual contact. NOT from someone touching your leg or even kissing is not a likely way to catch an STD.
Is there a chance she has been sexually abused?
We probably need more info to answer this correctly.
STDs are not going to live long without a host ( a body to live on) They are transmitted by bodily fluids and blood.
someone already said this.
I hope your friend is able to cure it.

Well you can get AIDS/HIV through blood transfusions and blood donations from an infected person. Other then that I don't think you can =D

If one his/her parents have an std. Or kissing another person that had std of the mouth

you can get it from a toilet seat but its extremely rare! also you can get it if one of your parents had it and they gave it to you (mainly mother to child) also you can get it sometimes if you like kiss someone that has an std on there lip (like if some gave oral sex to a guy with an std)

One of my friends got one off of a toilet seat when she was really young. All other ways have already been thourghly explained. :)

Kissing someone that has herpes. She can`t get STD`s without doing anything sexual. She could have probably gotten it from her parents, that`s the first thing that came in my mind.
And for the sake of your brain, you can`t get STD`s by having "it" land on your hand or thigh. That`s ridiculously ridiculous.

It depends on the STD. If it's HIV/AIDS, she could have been born with it, gotten it from breast milk, gotten it from a blood transfusion, tattoo, or other form of sharing needles.
If it's herpes, that is not always an STD. Some people just get the virus, and then they will have cold sores on their mouth sometimes.
If it's odd bumps on her vagina, it may not be an STD. It could just be ingrown hairs.
But there are a lot more STDs than what I listed. I suggest looking it up on google. Or asking your friend, if you don't think she'll mind telling you.
And I have to agree with everything Chicken_flavored_eggs said, including the fact that xoMarisox has no idea what he/she is talking about.

from her parents.

The only ways she could have an STD without having sex would be to have gotten at birth through the birth canal. That is unlikely since in the last 10-15 years they perform C-sections on women who have STD's to prevent any harm to the baby.
If she is a drug user, then she could have an STD through sharing various paraphernalia.
If you know that she is not an IV drug user, then most likely she is lying about not being sexually active. It also depends on what STD she has contracted.
Oh and please, I beg you, please ignore the advice given by xomarisox. Her advice here makes me sad. Her answer could possibly apply to the normal communicable diseases such as cold, flu, meningitis, etc..etc. But you do NOT transfer STD's by touchin someones thigh and holding hands with others. --that is just stupid.
Most STD's are transfered through open sores and or exchange of bodily fluids. Example: Sex, oral sex and anal sex. You can infect yourself if you have an open wound or cut and come into contact with blood or other bodily fluids.
You don't get a sexually transmitted disease on your thigh. You get them in your genital area and if certain kinds are in your blood stream, you can have symptoms around your eye and mouth area. STD's that are in later stages because they were not caught can cause infections and death, but won't be a danger to anyone else unless you are completely careless.
They are viruses and do not live outside the body for very long.
Everything she said is uninformed and idiotic.

Oh yes you can. Like, sometimes people can get std's on their hands. Like let's say someone get's an std on their thigh. Then they touch their thigh with their hand. If anyone goes to hold that person's hand they can get it too. It's not sexual. So, yeah you can get it with out doing anything sexual.

Yes, there are some STDs you can get from your mother, so you are born with them. You can also get some STDs by using a dirty needle. Basically, stuff like HIV/AIDS is passed through the bloodstream and other bodily fluids (not saliva), so if you get blood in you from a person who has the deisease you will then get it. Hope I helped.

it could be heriditary, like she had it when she was born. or you can get stds from someone else's blood. thats why drugeees who share needles risk stds. regular kissing or touching won't give stds
]
Well, considering STD stands for SEXUALLY transmitted diseases, i have no idea how she could have one. If her parents had one when they conceived her, she could have gotten it that way but if they didnt then I dont know. If she made out with someone and they had a cold sore, and she got it (if she has a coldsore) That would be how. Cold sores can be transmitted through kissing, and even though their something mild their still considered STDS
