A member asked:
Is it possible for a person to have a std if they have never been sexually active?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very unlikely: I won't say it's impossible, since you could get an oral std from a simple kiss. However, this is extremely unlikely, probably accounting for a miniscule fraction of std cases.
