Virgins can have STDs. People can be very well be born with STDs or contract an STD (you can contract herpes and HPV just by getting it under your nails and then masturbating--you don't even have to be sexually active) and never know it during their entire life. 80% of the U.S. has herpes but do you hear many people admitting to that? No.
Many parents accidently 'infect' their infants with diseases like herpes during harmless diaper changes. Unwashed hands can spread diseases just as fast as sexual activity.
Babies can be born with HIV, herpes, or any other illness and grow up believing that their symptoms of the illness are normal to experience. If nobody tells you're that you're ill and you've been ill you're entire life then how do you know it isn't normal, right?
For note, you can never be 100% sure that someone is "clean" even after being STD/STI tested because HPV (and, NO, Gardasil only helps to prevent 4 out of over 100 strains so you are NOT safe) cannot be detected in men--ever--and it may take a long time before it is detected in a woman.
It is always best to be safe. Always ask your partner for a full STD screen that includes herpes and read the results for yourself. Always use condoms to help reduce the risks of contracting an STD. Condoms do NOT protect fully against STDs or pregnancy but they do help to reduce the risks.
BL0NDExAMBiiTii0N answered Monday July 17 2006, 1:16 pm: Yes.. even though it's an STD, that doesn't mean sex is the only way it can be transmitted. My boyfriend got herpes from wrestling.. haha I know that sounds weird, but it's true. Herpes is a rash and the kid he wrestled had it on his face and my boyfriend got it on his arm.. which just goes to show you that there's many other ways to transmit STD's.

cathockey38 answered Sunday July 2 2006, 6:08 pm: Hey.
I'm pretty sure that if you make out with someone else who isn't a virgin and he or she is infected, you could be too. Im sure you can be infected by STDs you if you use a dirty needle, or if one of your parents passes it down to you.
Hope this helps

xomichelle891xo answered Friday June 30 2006, 7:36 pm: Yep. You can get STDs from oral sex or even TOUCHING someones "area". Sometimes you can get minor STDs from public toilet seats. But these are common and can be treated with over the counter drugs. Hope this helps. [ xomichelle891xo's advice column | Ask xomichelle891xo A Question ]
orphans answered Friday June 30 2006, 7:03 pm: i heard that you can get stds from making out but if your "makeout partner" is a virgin then no l o l but you could be born with it if your parents had one but its not very common.
rainbowcherrie answered Friday June 30 2006, 6:27 pm: Yes. You can be born with an STD if one of your parents has one and you can also contract them through other forms of sex such as oral. That's why it's always important to use a condom during oral sex unless you and your partner(s) have been tested. [ rainbowcherrie's advice column | Ask rainbowcherrie A Question ]
