What's your opinion on what is the biggest misconception about stds?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not gonna happen : Many people have the attitude that stds are something that happens to "other people". There is the feeling that "it will never happen to me. " anyone having sex without condoms is at risk of stds.

Symptoms: Most people assume that they will always have symptoms but this is not always true. Many stds are transmitted without a person's knowledge because most people who are infected have no symptoms. If you are having unprotected sex you are at risk.
