Is it true that you cannot get an STD if you have sex during your period?
My friend was telling me that if you have sex whiel you're on your period you cannot get an STD because of the blood flowing it out of you too quickly. She said she had sex with her boyfriend who had herpes and she didn't get it because they had sex while she was on her period. She totally isn't lying, I'm sure. I was curious if this was actually true though because it does kind of sound a little iffy to me and maybe she just had good luck or something. So, is it true that you can't get an STD if you have sex on your period?

That's not true, you can get any STD whenever you have sex, unless you use a condom.

Your friend needs to get checked.
If she didn't get herpes, she was just lucky, not safe. I'm afriad I'm with many of the other commenters here: You friend sounds like a moron.
If anything, being on her period increases her risk of contracting an STI, because your vagina's natural defenses are weakened when you menstrate.
Good for you for realizing it was a 'little iffy', and please, try to talk some sense into your friend.

LOL, tell your friend to go get checked .

Your friend is an idiot.

LMAO. Biggest load of junk I have EVER heard.
You can get an STD if you're on your period or not. So if you don't want one, use protection and make sure your partner is clean before you decide to get physical.

No, it absolutely is not true.
You can get an STD so long as there's fluid-to-fluid contact.
She may have been lucky because he was at a time when his sores were down and he was less contagious, but she is in serious danger if she continues having unprotected sex!
Herpes is forever, and it should NOT be taken lightly. Tell your friend that she's wrong and she needs to a) get tested and b) be more careful!
