A member asked:
Hi ~ i'm pregnant 13weeks now , and i accidentally share a straw with my friend she might have std, will i get pass on std just by sharing a straw ?

Unlikely: But it would be important to know what std you suspect. It would be very unusual to pass on stds through inanimate objects in the mouth since salivary enzymes destroy most organisms.
