If your father had an STD when he had sex with your mom and you were conceived, chances are he could have given it to your mother. If your mother has an STD it is passed on to the baby through her blood during the delivery/pregnancy. If neither of your parents had an STD and you haven't been sexually active, you probably don't have an STD.

If your parents also don't have STDs, then your chances of being born with an STD are slim to nil.

obviously you can't get an STD from kissing and stuff ebcause it's called Sexually Transmitted Diseases. However, if your parents have them, you aren't guarenteed to have them also, but it's a possibility. If your parents have any i think you should talk to them about it and you guys can look into this more.

If your parents have an STD while giving birth to you, the chances are very high that the child will get it too. But your not guarunteed to have them. Good Luck. ;)

Its probably not real common to be born with a sexually transmitted disease. It does happen.
If a mother has an STD while pregnant there is a good chance the baby will have it also. Some, like
HIV doesn't show symptoms right away.
I would guess that if a mother has good prenatal care, she will be treated for STDs like herpes
before a baby gets it. The doctors would just
avoid a vaginal birth for one thing.
Others like HIV are not so easy to avoid. I would
hope that the parents would inform their child if
there was a possibility.

well, it usually isn't common to be born with STDs, although some children sometimes can be born with them if their mother or father had them and had sex. There are some sexually transmitted infections that can be passed from the mother to the fetus during pregnancy or to the infant during birth. These infections include chlamydia, cytomegalovirus, gonorrhea, hepatitis, herpes, HIV, and syphilis. The risk of passing an infection may depend on when a pregnant woman becomes infected. For example, herpes usually is not passed if a woman was infected before pregnancy, but can cause serious problems if a woman gets infected during pregnancy.
i hope this helped :)
