Kind of: By definition , STDs need the "s" part: sex. However, there are std type infections that can be passed without sex. A cold sore in the lip is a type of herpes virus. If genital kissing occurs with a cold sore that may transmit hsv to the genitals. Also, skin warts are caused by another virus (hpv) that can be passed to the genitals by touching if the warts are on the hand or other body parts.
