Question 1

i was wondering how i could have an std if i've never had sex?

Accepted Answer

Non-Genital STDs: Your main risks for std transmission without intercourse or performing/receiving oral/anal sex is from kissing.
Herpes type i, mononucleosis or cytomegalovirus are most common.  CMV is not a concern for healthy individuals and mono usually causes a prolonged, fatigued illness.
Herpes, as they say, is forever.  Talk with your doctor about your test results.  False positives do occur.

Question 2

how can i have an std and my husband does not?

Accepted Answer

Several ways: Several possiblities exist. The tests aren't perfect, and your test or your husband's may be wrong. STDs can go away without treatment. Maybe your husband was treated and cured before he was tested. Maybe you have it from a distant past partner; some STDs can exist for years in one partner and never be transmitted. Maybe re-post this with the STD in question and details of both your test results.

Question 3

how to determine if i have an std or not?

Accepted Answer

Thorough H&P & labs!: You need a careful history and physical with appropriate lab tests to know. Drug use history very important as is number of sexual partners.  After 5, virtually 100% according to cdc!

Question 4

how to know if i have an std, sti, or something else?

Accepted Answer

Testing: You did not list symptoms or exposure history. Even if you did, you need a local evaluation to confirm or exclude this collection of diagnoses. Only with a review of exposure history, exam and testing can this be answered with confidence.

Question 5

is it stds??

Accepted Answer

Dr. can check urine: There are many signs that may suggest depression, such as:  feelings of sadness or hopelessness, angry outbursts or irritability, loss of interest in normal activities, sleep disturbances, tiredness or a lack of energy, either weight gain or weight loss due to appetite changes, anxiety or restlessness, slowed thinking, feeling worthless, etc...  Seeing one's primary care doctor is a good start.

Question 6

is sti like an std?

Accepted Answer

STD/STI: Sexually transmitted illness (sti) = sexually transmitted disease (std).

Question 7

could i have a std?

Accepted Answer

Maybe. Maybe not.: A woman who's been having "s" with another person, might have allowed the other person to "t" some sort of "d" to her. So, a woman who has had sex (even once) with another person, indeed could have a sexually transmitted disease... But only if the other person had an std at the time of sex.

Question 8

what is trigamous? the std!

Accepted Answer

Trichomonas?: I am assuming you mean "trichomonas"?  This is a common genital infection, typically of the vagina/vulva, thta may cause pain, itching, or a vaginal discharge.  It can be found in the urine as well.  It can be transmitted to a sexual partner.  It is easily treated, but you must be diagnosed by your physician first after a pelvic exam.

Question 9

what are the causes of std?

Accepted Answer

Body fluids!: All stds are transmitted by the intake of body fluids from any route, including vaginal, penile, oral, anal, and blood. Saliva is included.  Hep b, c, chamydia, ureaplasma, syphilis, hiv, gonorrhea, herpes 1 & 2, and several others are spread this  way. All bodily secretions are in play.  Be careful.  And know your partner!

Question 10

what is std? i don't understand.

Accepted Answer

Sexually transmitted: An std is an infection transmitted by sexual contact, including vaginal, oral or anal intercourse. There are many std's, including viruses, bacteria, and even some parasites.
