Is It Possible?!
If someone was a virgin, (most definitely)!, and their parents had not had the disease (indefinitely), because the fact they themselves are fine and they've had three healthy children (oldest of which is in late teens), is it likely to say that one of the children could have an STI despite being a virgin? I know they can be passed on from mother to baby but I would have thought that the mother, after so many years would show some isgns of infection, as would the child.
If it is possible, what are the chances, do you think?
Thank you very much :)!

First off: Most good doctors will test expectant mothers for all STDs, since some can be transfered (mostly through the birth process) and others can negatively affect development.
Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Herpes and Syphilis can all be transferred to a child from mother, but the likelihood of neither child nor mother being diagnosed or showing symptoms of those diseases is ASTRONOMICAL.
Pretty much impossible.
HPV is only STD a mother might pass to a child that is not easily diagnosed and can exist for years without symptoms.
Of course, it's worth it to mention that STDs can be transfered through sexual touching and oral sex, even if a person is technically a virgin.

It's very slim.
If the mother had an STI or STD when she was pregnant they would have taken special precaitions before birth. If you're planning on having sex with someone it's something you should know though, so ask them if they have anything.
