Sexually transmitted diseases are past from one person to another. If one person has an infection, they may pass it to a sexual partner. Sexually transmitted infectious diseases do not pop up spontaneously. An infected person transmits them to another

"Correct". That said, life is not black or white, which means there is no Yes or No answer to this question. Examples of when the answer is "Incorrect": you have oral herpes (not considered an STI) and create genital herpes (an STI) in your STI-free partner by doing oral sex; you have molluscum on your face (not considered an STI) and create genital molluscum (an STI) in your STI-free partner.
