I have a preliminary positive test for lyme disease (more tests needed). i've seen conflicting information as to whether it can be transmitted sexually and would like an expert to weigh in. thanks!

Not STD: in my understanding,Lyme disease is not STD so you can relax as far as that concern. get the necessary treatment after it has been confirmed
