Question 1

can you get an std from people that are clean?

Accepted Answer

"Clean": You cannot tell by looking at someone's genitals if they have an std or not. Many stds, such as chlamydia and hiv, remain asymptomatic. For this reason, you should never assume someone is "clean" unless they have a recent negative std panel from their doctor. Always use barrier contraception, such as condoms, if you are unsure.

Question 2

can you get an std by cleaning a toilet seat with someone eldest urine on it?

Accepted Answer

STD: That would very unlikely. The std would likely need to make contact with a mucosal membrane  (like mouth or genitalia) on you or go directly in through a break in your skin (depending on what it is ). In other words the type of contact you have would not be conducive to this.   However, there can be lots of germs in general on toilets- so  hope you clean toilets with gloves. Take care.

Question 3

can you get an std even if both partners are clean and you use a condom?

Accepted Answer

Clean?: What do you mean "clean?" if you mean both are free from any std (which would require the both of you to be tested) or both of you are virgins, than using a condom can certainly assure you that an std is not transmitted.  If you have oral sex, you can also transmit an std! know your partners past sexual hstory!

Question 4

can i get an std if my bf is clean and has been tested?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Its great that he was tested and that he is "clean." but there is no std panel that checks for everything. Additionally, men are not usually checked for hpv, which is the most common std overall. Additionally, some stds require lesions to actually test accurately. There are no guarantees of complete safety in a sexual relationship.

Question 5

can i get an std from wearing my cousin's clean underwear (who is very sexually active) i also wore a pantyliner?

Accepted Answer

No: Std are spread through sexual contact not clean panties. It is good to always be alter though  and use condoms!

Question 6

friend threw up.  went to restroom. i didn't know she didn't clean hands.  she played a game, ialso.scratch my eyes. can i get an std by scratching eyes?

Accepted Answer

No: No risk from the scratch other than an abrasion or infection of the cornea--but not std.

Question 7

can you get an std from eating out?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Like at applebee's?  No seriously, i believe you meant oral sex... The answer is yes!  oral sex can transmit or acquire some stds.  Gonorrhea can cause a throat infection and herpes is easy to transmit to the face and mouth as well. Others, like HIV are highly unlikely.  Hpv, or the virus that causes genital warts causes 70% of all head and neck cancers and is spread though oral to genital contact.

Question 8

can you get an std if both of you are virgins?

Accepted Answer

No : By definition, STDs are sexually transmitted diseases. By definition, virgins have not had sex yet. Assuming neither virgin got an std from rape or from birth, then neither virgin has any std to pass to the other virgin.

Question 9

when after sex can you get an std?

Accepted Answer

You get it during.: Different stds have different incubation periods before testing accurate. It ranges from one week for gonorrhea, trichomonas and chlamydia to 6 months for hiv. That is why you must be very careful whom you take as a sex partner. Syphilis and hepatitis take about 6 weeks to detect.
Discuss the specifics with your doctor or county health department.

Question 10

can you get an std from being fingered?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Herpetic Whitlow (Herpes on the fingers) is contagious and can be transmitted directly.  If you have reason to believe that you have been infected you should see a physician diagnosis and treatment.
