A member asked:
I get canker sores once a year. i had 1 appear 6 months after sex. 8 months after sex i had 2 more appear. can this increase in frequency be an std?

Not an STD: Recurrent canker sores (aphthous stomatitis) are not due to any STD. The frequency varies widely, without meaning anything about general health, STDs, or anything else. Unless they start appearing much more frequently (like more than once a month), don't worry about it.
