Hygiene!: Pinworms could be spread if your hands are not washed thoroughly after contact with an infected area. Trichomoniasis is the most common STD which is curable & is passed from an infected person to an uninfected person during sex. Trichomoniasis isn’t spread via casual contact, so you can’t get it via sharing food or drinks, hugging, kissing, holding hands, coughing or sneezing. Be well!
