Melody answered Tuesday September 26 2006, 5:18 pm: yes. sex isn't the only way to catch an std. for example: herpes can be on your genitals as well as on your mouth. consider this, a guy gives a girl oral sex that has genital herpes. once he's touched that area, he is now infected on his mouth. he then kisses another girl, who now has it, that gives a boy oral sex, who now also has genital herpes. it spreads like crazy, so you have to be careful about who you are being physical with, not just sexual. this herpes example is one of many, so please be careful and get checked for stds before being sexual.

sizzlinmandolin answered Monday September 25 2006, 12:55 pm: STD's aren't made by having sex. They are transferred from person to person. So, in order to get an STD, you'd have to get it from someone else. If neither of you have STD's then you aren't going to get any. That said, there are virgins and have STD's. Any sexual contact with someone (oral sex etc.) can get you an STD. Your mother can pass STD's that she may have on to you when you are born or through breast feeding. You can even get an STD off of a toilet seat (I know someone that has). Now that you know all the facts, think about the actual risk. The chances of either of you having an STD and not knowing about it are very small. Plus, if you were to have sex and use a condom, which you'd better ;), there is a very small chance that an STD would be passed on even if either of you had one. Good luck.

NinjaNeer answered Monday September 25 2006, 7:59 am: You can get an STD without having sex. Pretty much any contact with genitals can transfer a disease. He should always wear a condom. [ NinjaNeer's advice column | Ask NinjaNeer A Question ]
Xineph answered Monday September 25 2006, 6:32 am: Quite possibly... Some STDs you are born with, but can then be transferred through sex. Checking with your doctor would be your best bet. [ Xineph's advice column | Ask Xineph A Question ]
