If both people start out virgins and have only had intercouse with each other, how can STDs be contracted? Don't you have to have sex with an infected person? Furthermore, if penetration is never done, how can STDs be contracted? I never understood this.

maybe its just something formed in their body?

well, then how did stds start? they had to start with two virgins who gave it off to eachother right ? or am i wrong. ponder it.

google it.

but i think maybe because its starts in the body with something else and becomes and disease or whatnot that can be sexually transmitted

I agree with ^ An STD probably starts in your body because of bacteria or hormones or something like that. Try looking around gurl.com. I'm not advertising them, it's just a helpful site.

..maybe it gets passed down from a parent?..for example: AIDS.

yup what she said ^^

hah i learned this in sex ed!
it can come from the parents, or if you have oral sex (but you claim your a virgin), you can get stds in your mouth

penetration doesnt have to occur in order to contract an std. a person could have aids that was passed down from their parents, but most likely in this case their parents would tell them they have it. You can also contract an std from oral sex. Some people still claim themselves as virgins but engaged in oral sex. Drug use (sharing of needles) can pass deseases as well.

4 Modes of Transportation
1. Mother to Fetus
2. Sexual Contact/Unprotected Sex
3. Blood Transfusion
4. IV drug uses (dirty needles)

4 Types of body fluid that can contain STD's
1. Breast Milk
2. Semen
3. Blood
4. Vaginal Fluid

blame the monkeys

Things like...warts and stuff can pass through mouths too...so if you give a blowjob, from someone who has already had a blowjob beofre...and the first person that gave him one gave it to another guy with an std, that's how you can get it.

Absolutely not. AIDS were contracted through monkeys believe it or not. A STD is not some how created in your body unless your born with it (ie. AIDS) but even then, you won't live long. STDs are spread through virgins by oral sex or blood. Drug use is a common way to get it through using dirty needles.

maybe one of their parents had it and passed it on. i dno...

i think its stupid to claim yourself as a virgin if you have been sexually active in anyway with anyone but yourself. your not a virgin if you've had oral sex or any kind of sex. you should say your a virgin to sexual intercourse or whatever instead of sayin im a virgin, period. unless you really are.

i forgot how the monkeys passed it to the humans...does anyone know how lol?

Oral sex.

One person can be lying.. or it can be given genetically...

Some people are carriers. This means that the disease doesn't necessarily affect them (though sometimes it does) but they can give it to other people. Being a carrier is hereditary, you are born with it. And pretty much every STD I can think of is also transmitted by other means, such as blood.

public/dirty toilets. if you don't use seat protectors, haha you are infected with STDs, don't worry. But one exception: you won't get AIDS from dirty toilets but you can get other STDs from those toilets. you don't know how many people would have used that toilet before, in the girls toilet, infected blood and vaginal secretions may be on the toilet and you don't even realize it. those infected blood and secretions would get into your body and get infected that way.

BE CAREFUL!

it can be hereditary like if your parents have it or it can come from infected needles. basically through genes blood or sexual behavior

i agree.

Wow. . .
Thanks for the heads up.

aids started by some airline stwerart who lets just say was in the "mile high club" with men and women and he had some african guy who ate the brain of a monkey and he had AIDS and when the stewart slpet with other guys/girls it spread and then it went to the hore houses and spread like a virus and so now other ppl have it

They can have it passed down from their parents, tardmuffin.

I agree with her.

they COULD be passed down by the parents. i am going to tell you guys something i have NEVER told anyone else in my whole life:

both of my parents have herpes. BUT THANKFULLY I DIDN'T GET IT.

but if you have it and want to have a baby don't count on the same outcome my parents got with me. i think there is like a 50/50 chance you could pass herpes onto your child. i am not quite sure of the stastics =/.

a parent has to be a carrier, thats passed on.. *bangbangbang* .. voila, u have stds?? .. i think?
